January 06, 2024 (MLN): The critical issues surrounding population growth, demographic change, and their implications for Pakistan's development and economic growth were discussed during a delegation from the Population Council.

This delegation, led by President Dr. Rana Hajjeh, called on Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb at the Finance Division, as per the press release issued.

The delegation reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Pakistan’s efforts in crafting comprehensive, data-driven policies.

These policies aim to ensure that the country’s demographic transition aligns with sustainable development.

During the meeting, Minister Aurangzeb emphasized the significant challenges posed by rapid population growth, particularly in the context of the country's development goals.

He stressed the need for a sustained, long-term, and evidence-based approach to understanding and addressing population dynamics.

He called for integrating these dynamics into planning across key sectors such as health, education, employment, urbanization, and the environment.

This approach is seen as a means to unlock the full potential for socio-economic development.

Dr. Hajjeh and Dr. Sathar provided insights into the Population Council’s ongoing research and initiatives aimed at addressing these issues.

The meeting marks a significant step in fostering collaboration between the Population Council and the Ministry of Finance.

This collaboration aims to tackle the challenges of population growth and its impact on Pakistan's future.
