NA resolution seeks to curb population growth

The National Assembly has passed a resolution calling for urgent and comprehensive measures to bring down Pakistan's population growth rate to sustainable levels.

The resolution was moved by central leader of PPPP Syed Naveed Qamar in the House.

Recognizing the grave implications of the alarmingly high rate of population growth revealed in the 2023 Population and Housing Census, the House acknowledged its adverse impact on the state's ability to improve citizens' welfare, particularly in providing fundamental rights such as education, healthcare, employment, housing, and shelter.
