Pakistan will be world's sixth largest nation by 2050: report

[dravidianhero]

I just checked population densities of India and pakistan..India has 426 people per square km where as pak has only 226 people per sq km...I never imagined Hindu India would outnumber a Muslim Pakistan as far as density concerned...is it because of inhabitable terrain of balochistan and fata ?would density of pak be more if we take only population of punjab?

PS: i hate to say this but north indian states like UP,Bihar,MP,Rajastan and haryana are the reason for india to be performing so poorly on many indicators.

India had the same future issue if you go back and sit with families around India till 1995, a COMMON discussion used to be, what will happen with the country as its population is growing, there is nothing to do and the numbers of kids aren't stopping. So then came Bill Clinton (who you should all have a picture of in your house hold, next to Nehru, just showing your appreciation for who took your entire nation out of ditch to heaven).

So slowly, came about the economic growth funded by the US, both inside India and in the US by allowing people to have the H1B. Well, India is 5 times larger population mess than Pakistan is. Something tells me that Pakistan will be JUST fine and its on the right track. It has MUCH less people to worry about.

By the way, over 600 million people can't take a shiit (literally) with the proper sanitary and hand washing involved. How about you focus on worrying about over half of your population getting basic necessities of life first? and THEN worry about the neighboring country? I mean 600 million people in India, without bathrooms, proper beds to sleep on required decades of work by itself to provide them with these basics. Go tell your government to spend the trillions on its people, instead of building space crafts and weapons???

You Pakistani? Why is your asss burning?

Pakistan is expected to become the sixth largest nation in the world by 2050, according to data published by Population Reference Bureau (PRB).

The data lists down ten countries that will receive the greatest increase in population by 2050. Pakistan which is listed number six on the list is expected to reach a population of 344 million as the world population reaches 9,7 billion in 2050.

Further, India tops the list as the world’s largest country in 2050 as its population is expected to grow to 1,660 million. Whereas, China makes it to number two and United States to number three as the largest countries by population in 2050.

An earlier report by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations also revealed similar findings.

The report predicted that between 2015 and 2050, half of the world’s population growth is expected to be concentrated in nine countries, including Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, United Republic of Tanzania, United States of America, Indonesia and Uganda, while confirming that Pakistan’s population is expected to surpass 300 million by 2050.

The report also indicated a key increase in population in African countries making, one-third of the world African by 2050.

Commenting on the population-data revelations, Wu Hongbo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs said: “Understanding the demographic changes that are likely to unfold over the coming years, as well as the challenges and opportunities that they present for achieving sustainable development, is key to the design and implementation of the new development agenda.”

However, Jennifer Blanke, chief economist for World Economic Forum expressed concern about the report, questioning how the governments will manage the growing populations in the respective countries.


“If these countries are to meet the needs of their rapidly growing populations, they have to be able to deliver both sustainable economic growth and social inclusion. But while almost everyone agrees with that, we’re still struggling to establish the best way of achieving it. That’s something political, business and civil society leaders will need to work together on, and is indeed the main goal of the initiative I’m leading.” She said.

given our growth in past 15-20 years, i would not be amazed if it becomes 400+ million by 2050.

Its scary thinking about future of Pakistan...unlike India Pakistanis don't follow family planning...every family has 3 kids minimum and 10 kids maximum (on average)....this is a very serious problem for Pakistanis....they are sleeping without any worry..befikar bandhe

Sure and over a billion poverty stricken Indians are not going to be a problem. imagine trying to feed all of these bhokay nagay people whilst trying to become a supah powah at the same time. Its a ticking bomb for both India and Pakistan.

You should be scared about your own country according to the OP prediction chart.

You Pakistani? Why is your asss burning?

Call me big daddy, and I am seeing you go down the wrong path and effing yourself and I am VERY concerned. Where is your mama? I thought she'd teach you better than the above crappy, low class, 0 intelligence post you wrote to me?

No one's on fire, highlighting the truth doesn't mean my *** is burning. A well written post get this one liner response from you, tells the reader who's as* is on fire. Probably stinky too as you may be one of those 600 million people in India who don't have access to a proper toilet. EWWWW!! Gross!!! May want to ask your government to provide basics to their human population, instead of trying to be a soup-o-powa and spend trillions on useless weapons!!!

 

[Faiez]

I doubt

Pakistan TFR has decreased to 3 from more than 5 in the 90's and the population growth rate is also down to 1.7%.

Most likey it will be less than 300Million

At 1.7% growth rate, the population in 2050 will be ~360 million (more than the estimate in topic).

You seem to be very angry...don't become a human bomb in the process of venting out your anger..I know human life is cheap in the place where you come from...I also know there are many senseless dotheads who are ready to blow up themselves at the call of some useless bigot...but you need to calm down...life is so precious.

Leave logic brother..you got my point no?

Got the point. The fact that they have reached the current figure after loosing 53% of their population in 71' is also astonishing.

 

[Fracker]

Well, it's ok..We are already 7th,so not a big jump.

but what is about Nigeria? They are growing faster, interm of Population as well economy

Buddy, trust me those figures are grossly manipulated.

We haven't had a proper census since the 80s...the ones carried out in the 90s onwards were a farce.

People like to quote Pakistan's population as 187 million...i'm afraid it's much higher than that. We need to conduct a proper census for proper planning of the country.

People also like to state that Muslims like to breed like rabbits, inadvertently making religion a reason for the population growth. That is simply not the case. It's all due to poverty - people who are poor see having more children as a source of income; more hands for work, child labor, etc. These people do not educate their kids and this results in a poverty trap. If people viewed having children as an expenditure of their income (education and nurturing expenses, rather than a source of income), people would start reconsidering having children. Unfortunately, such a view is only a rich man's game at this point.

Pakistan is in trouble. Population growth is alarming - and there aren't enough resources or jobs to fulfill their needs - guess what this breeds?

 

[Sky lord]

From the table it looks like Pakistan is already the sixth largest country in the world by population in 2015

 

[Pakistanisage]

Goofy Title :

Pakistan WILL become SIXTH Largest Nation in the World ( as per the Population).

Isn't Pakistan " ALREADY " the Sixth Largest Nation. Has been for Decades.....
