What the data shows

  • Pakistan: 35.9M in 1950, 511.0M in 2100 (projected) (14× higher). The latest estimate is 247.5M in 2023.

About this chart

Pakistan's population has multiplied across the UN record: about 35.9 million in 1950, 154.9 million in 2000 and 247.5 million in 2023. The country ranked 15th in the world in 1950 and is 5th in the latest estimate, and the UN's medium projection has it climbing further with no turning point on the chart.

The projection reaches about 277 million in 2030, 372 million in 2050 and 511 million in 2100, so the maximum falls on the final year. That would lift Pakistan to 4th in the world in 2050 and 3rd in 2100. Data are from UN World Population Prospects 2024: estimates through 2023, medium-variant projections after.
