UNIT 6 Population and Demography

Pakistan has a population of over 220 million people comprised of various ethnic groups. The population is growing at an annual rate of 2% and is becoming increasingly urbanized. A key feature of Pakistan's demography is its population pyramid, which shows a large youth bulge - a consequence of high birth rates in previous decades. Migration, both voluntary and involuntary, has also significantly impacted Pakistan's population distribution, such as the large-scale population exchange during the country's partition in 1947. Urbanization is ongoing as more rural residents move to cities in search of opportunities and services.
