I just looked at the latest population data, and Pakistan now has about 256 million people, which is really huge. Interestingly, the country's population growth rate is quite fast, with an annual growth rate close to 1.6%, and it is expected to continue rising. Globally, Pakistan is the fifth most populous country, accounting for just over 3% of the world's population. Even more interesting is that the country's population structure is relatively young, with an average age of just over 20, which means there is a large amount of young labor force. With such a large and young population, Pakistan's demographic dividend is quite evident, and the population is expected to continue growing in the next few years.
