Orientation Day – July 11 – Unites reform supporters, leaders and organizations to tackle population challenges. It acts as a dialogue and process platform, which aims to create a better future. Its purpose is to raise awareness about the global population’s problems and their impact on development. The theme designated for this year is to tackle global challenges: focus on population issues. This theme emphasizes the need to tackle various global challenges, including sustainable development, climate change, poverty and inequality. On this day, it will also be noted how sustainable development goals are linked to the dynamics of the population, especially health, education and poverty.
In 2025, the global population is at a historical height, which is more than 8.2 billion people. That number reflects the annual increase of about 71 71 million people. Although this growth (0.89 % annually) is slower over the past decades, the world still faces challenges for citizenship, resource consumption, environmental impact and economic inequality.
More than 40 % of women worldwide cannot freely make decisions about reproductive health. One in four in the low and middle -income countries is recognizing their fertility to women. Due to pregnancy or birth complications, a woman dies every two minutes.
As a result of the growing population, resources have faced more poverty through stress, which reduces per capita income, increasing competitiveness for jobs and potentially increasing high food prices. Poverty repeatedly stimulates high fertility rates as families can have more children to compensate for high mortality or as a form of social protection. In this way, it can bring more poverty by creating a vicious cycle.
One of the results of increasing poverty is extremely hunger and malnutrition. It is a hindrance to sustainable development and creates a net where the poor community cannot easily escape. Hunger and malnutrition means less productive people, who are more at risk of disease and often fail to earn and improve their livelihood.
The World Bank updated its international poverty lines last month (June 2025) to reflect changes in the global price level and the new Power Parity (PPP) data, to ensure more accurate and relevant global poverty globally. The purpose of these reviews is to improve poverty measurement and trace methods around the world, especially in the context of growing economic conditions and the availability of better data. As a result of updates, a new international poverty line per person per person is a new poverty line, which replaces the last 15 2.15 poverty line based on the 2017 PPP.
The new poverty line for lower middle -income countries is now $ 4.20 per day, which is more than $ 3.65, which affects 44.7 % of Pakistan’s population. The extreme poverty line has also been converted to $ 3 a day, affecting 16.5 % of Pakistan’s population, which is significantly higher than the previous $ 2.15. This will potentially increase the poverty rate in the country.
Pakistan has far -reaching consequences of poverty, which affects various aspects of life, including health, education and overall social stability. It helps a reduction in high rates, social disorders and moral values. The trends and inflation of the damaged population have had a negative impact on the poverty level in the country.
The World Bank reports that in 2024, Pakistan’s poverty rate has increased to 25.3 percent, which has increased by 7 percent points compared to 2023, with an estimated 13 million more people falling below the poverty line. This indicates a significant increase in poverty levels in the country. The report concludes that although economic stability is very important, it is prevailing to remove systematic inequality in order to get rid of sustainable poverty.
The upcoming World Bank’s poverty, equity and flexible diagnosis for Pakistan will provide significant context for translating these latest poverty estimates. This report is a detailed update about poverty, inequality and non -financial results, investigating key drivers of poverty and providing a future agenda to increase prosperity and flexibility for the people of Pakistan.
Almost all SDGs check poverty in a way or other path. In particular, round 1, “emphasizes the need to eliminate poverty in all its forms everywhere.” It aims to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030 and reduce poverty. It has to ensure basic services, social protection and access to resources for the poor and the weak, as well as to create flexibility to climate and other economic, social and environmental shocks.
Pakistan’s 240.485,658 population is making it the fifth most populous country in the world. Since a large population has a deeper, cross -sectarian impact on the country’s socio -economic growth, Pakistan needs a change to promote family planning for poverty level examination and change the expected sustainable development goals by 2030.
Many factors are contributing to the rapid increase in Pakistan’s population. One of them is the low literacy rate among women and girls. There is a basic fellowship among the girl going to school, even for a short period of time, and in her life there are fewer children who do not go to school. The increase in population has led to a lack of water, electricity, jobs, infrastructure, public transport, health, education and other social benefits.
More populations in Pakistan have a negative impact on poverty and unemployment rates, as the job market struggles to maintain harmony with the growing workforce. Inadequate access to reproductive health services and family planning information, especially in rural areas, is aided by this issue.
According to the World Bank, for every one thousand children born in Pakistan, 50 deaths before reaching their first birthday. The maternal mortality rate is 186 deaths in 100,000 living births.
To tackle global challenges related to population affairs, sustainable development, resource management and a multi -faceted approach are needed to focus on social equality, which includes better access to education and health care, empowering women, promoting family planning and increasing economic growth. International cooperation is also very important for sharing knowledge, resources and excellent methods. Pakistanis need to work together to empower communities, spread awareness and eliminate poverty and ensure a sustainable future.
