The second and final day of the ‘Pakistan Population Summit’ — a national dialogue on restoring balance and building sustainable futures — will begin in Islamabad shortly.
Organised by DawnMedia, the summit is bringing together politicians, economists, development specialists, private sector leaders, and experts to develop a shared vision as rapid population growth continues to place pressure on health systems, food and water security, and employment.
On Monday, policymakers, experts, diplomats and lawmakers had expressed the unanimous view that prosperity was not possible if the number of mouths to feed kept rising. They argued that without managing the population in terms of resources, all of the government’s efforts — aimed at development, progress and social uplift — would amount to naught.
