About this indicator

Source
International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Records the number of inhabitants of Pakistan and how it changes over time. The official figure is produced by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) and underpins a wide range of economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, population density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Derived from population censuses and updated between census years using births, deaths and net migration. It is usually released as a headcount referenced to an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape Pakistan's potential growth, its large labour supply, domestic demand and the strain on public services and infrastructure. A young, expanding population supports demand but requires rapid job creation.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series, and inter-census figures are estimates that can be revised once new censuses or better migration data become available, an issue that is particularly sensitive in Pakistan given refugee movements.
