According to current population projections, Between 1998 and 2017, Pakistan’s average population growth rate was 2.40%. For a population of over 220 million, this is a growth of about 5.28 million people per year. Pakistan has one of the highest birth rates of 22 births per 1,000 people.

Compared to the other countries in the region, the growth rate of Pakistan is about 2.1 percent higher. It is predicted that in about 35 years, if this growth continues, the population of Pakistan will eventually become double of what it was back in 2001. Judging from how the population has grown significantly over just ten years, this “doubled population” figure does not seem to be far off. Pakistan Population Projections The current growth rate in Pakistan is close to 2%, but this is expected to halve to less than 1% by the year 2050 - at which point it is predicted to cross the 300 million threshold. The population is predicted to near 210 million by 2020 and get to 245 million by 2030. Pakistan Population Clo...
