Pakistan’s population has reached 207.7 million, said Pakistan Bureau of Statistics in a census summary published moments ago.
According to census results, the total population of Pakistan remained 207,774,520 till the end of June 2017.
Punjab lead the charts with over 110 million population while Sindh had some 47 million residents; KPK had 30 million while Balochistan had 12 million residents.
Interestingly, Islamabad houses 2 million individuals.
PBS said that this data is shared as provisional summary and complete details of the census will be shared with public at a later stage.
The Provisional summary results show an overall increase in population by 57% over the year 1998, while the population increased by 146.6 % since Census-1981.
There is a decline in the population growth rate at national level and in Punjab and Sindh Provinces, while an increase has been observed in the Provinces of KP, Balochistan and FATA.
The trends of urbanization in Pakistan as per the provisional results of the Census are given below:
Not to mention, Pakistan’s population was mere 84 million in 1981, which grew to 132 million in 1998 to ultimately reach 207.7 million in 2017.
Also to note that urban share of population grew from 28.30% in 1981 to 36.38% in 2017.
As per the Provisional results, the urban population shows a growing trend with 36.38 % of the population living in urban areas.
The comparative position of Provinces and Areas shows similar trend in urban population with a slightly higher increase in the Punjab.
On the other hand a significant decrease has been observed in the percentage of urban population in ICT which gone down from 65.72% to 50.58%, indicating that growth occurred in the rural areas of Islamabad. Amongst the provinces, Sindh is the most urbanized province, where 52.02% population lives in urban areas.
Looking at the population size, there are immense business opportunities.
Look at all the clothes these 207 Million people will need,food, transportation, healthcare, deaths/funerals, the list goes on.
Guess, people should know, Pakistan is a force to reckon with.
A mass market of illiterate poverty isn’t much of a force. But I’m sure the government will find a way to extract WHT from every starving family in the country.
Yes man.
We need business minded people in our country, who can explore all opportunities in right directions.
You are truly an insane person with no sense.
heheheheeh Looot Lia Zalimaaa :p
It’s how most Pakistanis think. They are proud of the large population of the country. The mullahs also encourage it. They want more soldiers for Allah.
Alhamdulillah.
Where are mullahs in Justice, Education, health care, Army, where? Islamic Pakistan is governed by a foreigner Educated not locals! Think a little before you write!
This isn’t called optimism, its called as plain stupidity.
Nature has a way of fixing overly large populations. It’s very ruthless. People will fight amongst themselves for a greater share of the ever shrinking pie. It’s already happening and will only accelerate in future.
Your monkey ancestors fought living in caves.
Hanumaan Ji listen! I am a son of human, my forefathers were human. I am a special creation and I am proud of that.
No they are not. But hanumaan ji there is nothing wrong in marriage between first cousins.
In your world….but its not normal….these are medieval practices
Living with girlfriend is normal practice but marrying your cousin is not? Is this the teaching of your Gaumatah worshipping religion?
This is how it goes in the civilised world….while you keep your women in Burkhas
I have no religious conscience however i feel worshipping a Gaumata is still better than worshipping a rapist paygaambar
You’re frustruated cos you dont get to enjoy such rights and freedom….marrying and reprofucing with your own siblings make you spastic…thatswhy Muslims have ZERO nobel prizes in science (just one though) and ZERO modern day inventions
Btw why did you upvote yourself?
We don’t need your “Nobel prizes” and cousins are not your siblings. Better build toilets in houses of your far away villages. Then come back and speak.
Our every home even in villages got toilets.
What are you doing on propakistani then? Get back to your slum.
This eid i am gonna have gaumatah kabab, nihari, biryani, koftey and more.
Only karachi hanuman monkey ji.
You can hump your gaumatah and raise slogan “gay hind”
Your language explores your deep roots in your animal worshipping religion.
yeah suicide bombings and mob lynchings are so much more civilized.
No one said that.
Agreed 100%
Have Karachi 20 and Lahore, Faisalabad crossed 10 million mark?

Exactly my thoughts. I mean look around Karachi, man. It’s truly insane.
