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).

6. Population structure of pakistan

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
