Limited Resources
Rapid
population growth with rate of 1.98
% annual is taking a toll on Pakistan's
resources, with land, water, and energy all being scarce. Per capita
availability of arable land is already among the lowest in the world, and as
the population balloons, this problem will only worsen. There is also a water
crisis looming for Pakistan. Water resources are already over-exploited and
will only become more difficult to manage as the population grows. Energy
shortages could follow if oil and gas imports continue to rise as well.
Solution for all of these problems is family planning services and increasing
access to education for women. Unless measures are taken to slow down
population growth, Pakistan may find itself struggling even further in the
future.
