Islamabad [Pakistan], July 13 (ANI): Amid alarming population growth in Pakistan, experts have warned that soaring headcount poses a greater threat and the country may not be able to meet the needs of its rapidly increasing population.
Pakistan s struggles with keeping its national headcount at sustainable levels continues, said experts, reported The Express Tribune.
While the growth rate, they said, is not the root cause of all problems, it certainly exacerbates the pressures on livelihoods, natural resources, and provision of certain services, especially health and education. We missed the boat on integrating this population growth into development planning that was done in the 60s, and up to the 90s. Since about 2000, we have largely ignored population in economic planning, cautioned Dr Zeba Sathar, who heads the Population Council s office in Islamabad.
