This document discusses population growth in Pakistan over four phases from 1905 to 2040. It analyzes birth rates, death rates, and natural increase over time. Phase 1 from 1905-1935 saw high birth and death rates with low population growth. Phase 2 from 1936-1970 had high birth rates and decreasing death rates leading to high natural increase. Phase 3 from 1971-2005 saw falling birth and death rates and a decline in natural increase. Phase 4 from 2006-2040 is projected to have low birth and death rates resulting in low natural increase if rates remain stable. Reasons for historically high birth rates in Pakistan include child labor, early marriages, opposition to family planning, a strong desire for sons, illiteracy, and migration

2. Introduction.
A population is all the organisms that both belong to
the same group or species living in the same
geographical area.
Population growth is related to:
•Birth rates.
•Death rates
• migration
Rate of natural increase = Birth rate – Death rate

3. Demography is a study of human
populations: their size, composition,
distribution across place and the process
through populations change.

5. Phase 1: 1905 – 35
High birth and death rate, so consequently low
population growth.
Phase 2: 1936 - 70
High birth rate and decreased death rate. So high
natural increase.
Phase 3: 1971 - 2005
Fall in birth and death rate and decline in natural
increase.
Phase 4: 2006 - 40
If the birth and death rate remains low, there would be a
low natural increase(stable state).

7. Reasons for high birth rate.
Child labour is very common in Pakistan
 Early marriages increase the span of
reproductivity
 Family planning programmes receive
strong opposition on religious grounds
 Strong desire for son
 High illiteracy rate
 Migration- 1.8million Afghan refugees
migrated to Pakistan after the Afghan
miracle
 Inconsistent government policies


8. Ways to control population.
Welfare programmes should be strictly
put into actionEducation and better
living standards should be provided to
the rural areas
 Support of Ulemas should be gained
in this prospect
 Migration rate must be controlled
 Avoid early marriages.
 Awareness campaigns should be
conducted


9. Reasons for high death rates.
Poor medication facilities
 Unhygienic conditions
 High infant mortality rate
 Improper sewage disposal
 Shortage of food supply
 Less use of life saving drugs

