Abstract
Pakistan’s last census in 2017 counted 208 million inhabitants, which translates into an annual population growth rate of 2.4% since the previous census of 1998. The country has experienced a slower demographic transition than most of its neighbours in Asia. Pakistan’s total fertility rate is higher, at 3.6 children per woman in 2017, and is falling more slowly.
