By 2050, Pakistan is projected to be the sixth largest nation in the world by population size.
According to data published by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) on August 30, 2015, Pakistan is among the ten countries expected to see the greatest increase in population by 2050. This demographic shift will have significant implications for Pakistan in various sectors, including infrastructure, resource management, and economic development.
Here's a breakdown of what that might mean:
- Increased Population: Pakistan's population is expected to grow substantially, placing it as the sixth most populous country globally.
- Challenges and Opportunities: This growth will bring both challenges, such as increased demand for resources, and opportunities for economic growth if properly managed.
- Global Standing: Pakistan will have a larger global presence due to its substantial population size.
| Year | Projected Rank |
|---|---|
| 2050 | Sixth Largest Nation |
This significant population growth will likely impact Pakistan's geopolitical standing and internal affairs as the country moves toward 2050.
