292 million is being cited by the UN keeping in consideration expected improvements in population growth rate reduction. That is something not a lot of people are sure about.
I have been reading a couple of books in population growth and sadly our situation is really bad comparing to the rest of the world, and South Asia as well. Bangladesh and India have improved their population control programmes significantly, but ours is in tatters not because of lack of funding or institutional effectiveness but due to rejection of ideas on social cultural and religious factors (unlike Iran where the clergy promotes it). One study showed that around a quarter of those who were informed about necessary precautions and procedures and started using it have left them because of religious reasons, which is a very bad sign (I'll dig this report fro you). Contraceptive use has fallen as well.
Population growth rate and fertility aren't decreasing as we would like it to, and the trend isn't comparable with the world figures or the regional figures. We are performing bad here.
Read this while I try to get a copy of our official studies conducted by NIPS.
