DEMOGRAPHY

Extremely drastic and dramatic social reforms have taken place in Pakistan. These vital

changes have led to a new era of urbanization and the creation of a few megacity centers within

the country. As of 2003, the nation became one of the most urbanized cities in all South Asia,

largely due to the fact that city dwellers made up about 36% of its overall population at the time.

Approximately 50 % Pakistani people reside in a place where at least 5,000 citizens also live.

Pakistan is projected to hit its peak population of 404.68 million in 2092, according to

latest population estimates. Pakistan’s population is projected to exceed Indonesia’s population

by 2048, exceeding 331.29 million. Pakistan’s annual population growth rate was 2.40 percent

between 1998 and 2017. This reflects an expansion over 5.28 million people per year with a

population over 220 million. Since the year 1947, when the country became a sovereign state,

Pakistan’s population have increased dramatically, particularly as more and more people have

felt comfortable moving their families and businesses to the region. Compared to then other

countries in the country, Pakistan’s growth rate is around 2.1% higher. It is estimated that in

around 35 years, if this development persists, the population if Pakistan will, gradually double

what is back in 2001.

courts and other lower courts. The role of the Judiciary is to interpret the constitution and the

laws and regulations of the federal government. The President of Pakistan is a symbolic

Parliament. Pakistan is subdivided into four (4) provinces, two (2) territories, and one (1) capital
