The total population of the world touched the figure of 7 billion. In 19th century it was just one billion, in the next one and half century 1.5 billion were added, while 4.5 billion increased just in the past 60 years. It is really a critical increase in population. But the more important thing to note and highlight is Pakistan’s contribution in the population. Pakistan adds 180 million to that number of seven billion.
Pakistan is already confronting a number of challenges such as poverty, food shortage, unemployment, illiteracy, feuds on property, extremism, terrorism and so forth. All these challenges are interlinked and interdependent on each other.
Owing to population pressure, it becomes difficult for any government to fulfill the needs of its public. It becomes difficult to create employment opportunities for all, education to all, provision of law and order and so forth.
At present, the population of Pakistan has become a bomb and its burst will have dire results. Therefore, it is the need of the hour that all stakeholders should play their significant roles to stop this bomb. The policy makers and the concerned authorities should further make their policies culture sensitive.
