Something About Company
“The overall vision of the Punjab Population Policy 2017 is “promoting prosperous, healthy and knowledge based society where every family is planned, every member nurtured and all citizens are provided with the opportunity and choice to attain improvement in the quality of their lives.”
The province of Punjab with an estimated population of over 103 million (2016) is facing the challenge to address issues like economic development and poverty reduction. While accommodating more than 50 percent of the total population with 26 percent of the land area of the country, it receives the major impact of rapid population increase. Population density at present is estimated at 490 persons/sq. km. Such a heavy load, in the backdrop of low socio-economic indicators, not only dilutes results of development efforts, it also creates unacceptable level of demand on limited resources to meet requirements of additional population. Generating more resources for improving living conditions thus becomes a difficult task. In the past, high population growth has significantly added to the community living below poverty line. Based on present growth patterns the population of Punjab is expected to double after 36 years. It is feared that the economy would not be able to sustain this growth, and no improvement in the quality of life seem possible even under the most favorable assumptions. The present population trend is, therefore, a matter of deep concern.
