This is estimate, census figures will be released in August. Hopefully we are less and not more then 199m.

Well, not in my case, in my family and my Uncles used to have 3 to 5 Children each, while new generation (cousins) they only stick to 1 or 2.. only one rare case where my cousin have 4 daughters bcoz he wanted a boy, 5th one was a baby boy

so i somehow agree with @save_ghenda that population maybe less then estimates.

Seriously but it won't happen. Pakistan need 1 or 2 child policy for 5 decades at least.

Looking at the resources, joblessness and poverty levels. It is the need of time to reduce birth rate further. This will result in better utilization of resources, better paid jobs, reduction in joblessness and poverty. I have doubts on the figure of 1.86 fertility. I think birth rate is more than 3 in Pakistan. Had the figures been true, Pakistan's population would have been reducing rather then increasing. We have already encountered population explosion, which is evident through concrete jungle around us and traffic menace.

1.86% is growth rate, 3.0 is fertility.

Unless there's some extreme situations (financial, health etc)---your cousins are the biggest jahils for having only 1 kid.

Never have 1 kid. Have atleast two. Kids who are born alone grow up without a sibiling experience. They don't develop mentally. They don't experience the love, fights, jealousy, competition etc with their siblings (for small things such as getting more candies even haha).

This sibling experience is fundamental to a child's growth mentally. I have seen many people who are psychologically off---and were only kid in their household. Imagine the loneliness they felt all those years!!

(Before anybody brings their dumb ideas: If ENTIRE culture is prone to having 1 kids only--such as China--this changes the equation all together since all kids have similar experience. However, in a family oriented culture like Pakistan--where one kid is alone while all/most of his age-mates have their siblings--single kids develop loneliness inside them as their childhood experiences do not match their surrounding that they see/experience around them).

So please, don't be that cruel to your child. Always plan to have two/three children atleast, when the time comes.

Btw, I don't care about Pakistan's population. It very well can be 199 million. Who cares? I was just saying that lets not post dumb posts and wait for the final results of census.
