Population Challenges in a Changing World: An Overview of the 22nd Annual Research Conference of the Population Association of Pakistan

Abstract

The Population Association of Pakistan (PAP), established in 2000, continues to emphasize the crucial relationship between population and development. The population and development programs in Pakistan have not progressed as steadily as in most of the countries in the region or other Muslim-majority countries such as Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, and Turkey. PAP provides a platform that offers an opportunity to bridge the various social sciences disciplines including economics, public and social policy, statistics, demography, public health, sociology, geography, and anthropology to deliberate upon solutions for pressing population and development related issues of Pakistan in this changing world
