I recently looked at the population statistics of Pakistan and was a bit surprised by the scale. It turns out that there are currently about 257-258 million people living there, according to the latest data. This makes Pakistan the fifth most populous country in the world, almost 3.2% of all people on the planet.

Interestingly, this number is growing quite rapidly. The average annual growth rate is around 1.57%, so in a few years, the figure will be even higher. Additionally, the population of Pakistan is quite young on average — about 20.6 years old. This means that most of the country is made up of youth who are still ahead.

So if you're interested in demographics or just love such facts, here’s some interesting information. Pakistan’s population continues to grow actively, and it is one of the most dynamic regions in this regard.
