ACCORDING to the sixth census report, Pakistan`s estimated population is 220m.
Pakistan thus has become the fifth largest populated country of the world. It is a developing country but lacks resources.
The government should launch a population control campaign. The media can play a vitalrolein thisregard.People must recognise the seriousness of this matter as in Pakistan the contraceptive usage is only around 30pc (Dawn) while, according to the World Economic Forum Report (2012), contraceptive prevalence in a developed country is 74pc.
Maybe we can learn from China and limit the number of child to two by each couple.
