Xinhua News Agency, Islamabad, December 5 (Reporter Liu Tian) Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on the 5th that the Pakistani government is considering comprehensive measures to control the country's rapid population growth.
Imran Khan said at the symposium on "worrying population growth in Pakistan" jointly organized by the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the health department that the normal population growth rate brought many serious problems, including the destruction of the natural environment,reducing of the area of cultivated land and threatening of food security.
Imran Khan said that the Pakistani government has set up relevant working groups to formulate measures to control population growth, including the distribution of contraceptives and education to raise family planning awareness.

At the symposium, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Nisal, called on all sectors of society to unite in controlling population issues. He said that if the population continues to grow too fast, the resources that the country will use will continue to decrease, which will ultimately affect the country's economic growth and people's living standards.

Nisal warned that if the government does not control it, the population of Pakistan will reach 450 million in 30 years.
According to official figures released by Pakistan, Pakistan currently has about 207 million people, and Pakistani women have 3.6 children per capita.

Our Bhutto was a visionary in this regard, I used to see family planning clinics in the 70s all over Karachi, TV and radio adds about kum bachey khushal Gharana, no one paid any attention to this problem after him.

How old are you :what: ......... I have been thinking you are some 35 years old
 
As a chinese,i have no position to make comments on pakistani internal affairs but as far as i am concerned,I personally think 2.5 children per family is more than enough.

China is incrediblely low now,1.4 to 1.8 children per family (The UN standard model requires 2.1 children per family as a durable model)!
Some minority chineses such as chinese uyghur,tibetains,mongolians have generally more than 2 children but their concepts change as well:NO more big family,self-development and enjoying of life matter more than ever.
And this means the han chinese has perhaps a even lower birth rate 0.9 to 1.1
children per family.If this is so,China total population may begin to shrink in 2050 and will end up from 1.5 billions in 2040/ 2050 to 700 millions in 2100.

No chance for CHINA to back to above 2 whatever mesures chinese gov takes.

I have 1 child,I have no plan to have another one although chinese gov has not restrictions any more,
instead chinese gov is starting to encourage more child births but it will not work !

2)It does is a better way to increase GDP per capita,if you earn 10000 USD per year,2 children means 5000USD each and 1 child means 10000USD each.
Western countries has those low birth rate problem dozens of years ago,that is why they never close door to immigration,not because they are so open but they need more population,
3)Without imigration policy,US population will drop from 300 millions to 100 millions over the last 100 years.
