There is an urgent need to create awareness among the masses about the consequences of unsustainable population growth on the socio-economic wellbeing of the people.
This was stated by Federal Minster for Information & Technology, Shibli Faraz at the 5th meeting of the Parliamentary Forum on Population.
The meeting was organized by the Population Council with support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Islamabad and was attended by members of the senate, legislators from the national and provincial assemblies, including Gilgit-Baltistan, from across all major political parties.
The federal minister, who is also the chairman of the PFP, said “Unsustainable population deprives people of equitable opportunities for accessing health, education, nutrition, gainful employment and leading a prosperous life.”
