Pakistan's Population Problem

 

As it is said, excess of anything is bad, so is the case with population. In other words, we can term it 'over population'.

When power of a community was muscle based, bringing in more lives was preferable, as more muscles meant more power (may be). 

But now, when the power has shifted to brain, there should be no motivation for increasing the quantity of lives. 

Rather, the focus should be on increasing the quality of lives. Anyone with a basic knowledge of economics or even a slight share of common sense would know that resources are limited. 

With limited resources, there could not be a good justification for unlimited users of those resources. Coming to the Pakistan's case, we are the fifth largest country in terms of population. 

Population may not have been such a big issue had we not been grappling with a myriad of issues. We have unemployment issue of even educated people. Our economy is not stable. Our education system is outdated. We lack resources to educate our young generation. 

We have politicians who lack the capacity of policy making. Somehow, we could have better managed these issues had we been able to restrict our uncontrolled population growth. 

With all these prevalent issues, there is no reason to increase the number of people living in a certain area.

These people would be useless to work anywhere in the fast changing world where robots or whatever name they are given will be common in our daily lives.
