UNFPA’s call to rethink Pakistan's population trends timely; sustained policy action a challenge
NEW DELHI: The United Nations Population Fund’s (UNFPA) recent statement to Pakistan to rethink its population dynamics is timely as well as constructive, but a sustained policy action towards it is going to be the real challenge, according to a media report.
An editorial published in Pakistan’s financial daily, Business Recorder, stated that the UNFPA urges the country to make a purposeful and evidence-based plan and not count the rising population as an “inevitable burden”.
The UN body urged Pakistan -- having the world’s fifth largest population with the number exceeding 225 million -- to mark the growth “as a strategic driver of sustainable and inclusive development”.
