every year, we’re adding almost 4 million more.
Pakistan is running out of time, and space.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-8lhP2_AeU
Right now, the country has around 255 million people. And every year, we’re adding almost 4 million more.
That’s roughly more than 300,000 people every month, and over 76,000 babies every week.
If we keep growing like this, Pakistan’s population is expected to double in about 45 years.
So what’s driving this growth? Why is Pakistan growing faster than its neighbours? And what does this mean for jobs, schools, water, and the future of young Pakistanis?
Let’s break it down.

Pakistan’s population is expanding at one of the fastest rates in the region, and experts warn this surge is intensifying the country’s climate vulnerability. Rapid urbanisation, shrinking water supplies, deforestation, and increasing pressure on food and energy systems are compounding the effects of extreme weather events.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnVjklKJc0o
Communities already grappling with floods, heatwaves, and drought now face heightened risks as demographic pressures strain public services and infrastructure. Climate researchers say that without integrated population and sustainability planning, Pakistan may struggle to build resilience in the face of accelerating climate shocks.
Mahin Azam Khan unpacks this crisis in a conversation with Lubna Naz.

The Western world is in decline. Immigration is tearing apart the social contract, and causing ethnic tensions. Young people cannot find work, and can no longer afford a house. Debt is crippling governments and households.
In his Tuesday, August 26, 2025 class to his Beijing high school students, Professor Jiang explains that these trends are caused by the aging crisis, in which rich pensioners are dictating policy to the detriment of everyone else.
He predicts that the gerontocracy will lead to the rise of militaristic and authoritarian governments.
Population collapse is a topic area I didn't really care about until recently. But frankly, it represents the issues my generation and the next generation are going to face. Understanding these core problems and up coming catastrophes - we can create a path of understanding about the world that we live in. Now, why should we even care if it doesn't affect us in this very moment?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7DZJ7w3K1g
Why Human Population Collapse is a Good Thing
The decline of human population is often viewed as a positive change due to several reasons:
Resource Allocation: A smaller population can lead to more efficient use of resources, such as energy and water, as fewer people will require more of these resources per person.
Environmental Impact: Fewer people can contribute to a healthier planet by reducing the ecological footprint and conserving natural resources.
Economic Growth: A smaller population can lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources, benefiting everyone, including the elderly and the disabled.
Sustainability: Population decline can prompt societies to adopt sustainable practices and policies that prioritize environmental conservation and social equity.
These factors contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future, where the needs of the planet and its inhabitants are met without compromising the health of the environment.
Increasingly, I believe that there is a Yahwist collective subconscious process at work which is deliberately trying to trash Earth beyond saving in order to spur Westerners to expand into outer space ASAP.
Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world, is facing a crisis: a growing shortage of food and water. How do you feed a population of 113 million people – estimated to grow to 160 million over the next 25 years – when even water is running short? The Nile, Egypt’s lifeline, is under stress. The government is drilling deep into the Sahara to tap underground aquifers and urging families to have fewer children. But are these measures enough?

India has 12x the population density of the US. That means you could have more than half the world’s population living in the US and even then only be as crowded as India - crowded but totally livable. Shut yo ass up about “muh immigrants are taking over” tripe
According to the UN, the world’s population stands at just over 8.2 billion. However, a recent study suggests the figure could be hundreds of millions or even billions higher. This news might sound terrifying, but it is important to remember that anxieties about overpopulation are rarely just about the numbers. They reflect power struggles over which lives matter, who is a burden or a threat and ultimately what the future should look like.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/are-there-billions-more-people-on-earth-than-we-thought-if-so-it-s-no-bad-thing/ar-AA1FPjZ5?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=b6edfd1bdc1d4a24ed2e8f3f491b3933&ei=156
The world’s population reached 1 billion just after the turn of the 19th century. The number of people on the planet then began to grow exponentially, doubling to 2 billion by about 1925 and again to 4 billion about 50 years later. On 15 November 2022, the UN announced the birth of the eight billionth human.
As it is not possible to count every single person in the world, the UN’s population figures are calculated by dividing the Earth’s surface into a grid and using census data to estimate how many people live in each square. This method provides a rough estimate, but until now it was thought to be reasonably reliable.
A recent study by Dr Josias Láng-Ritter and his colleagues at Aalto University in Finland discovered that UN estimates undercount the number of people living in rural areas by more than 50%. This is because census data in the global south is often incomplete or unreliable outside big cities. Consequently, UN figures probably underestimate the world population by hundreds of millions or several billion...
