Islamabad: Pakistan, positioned between the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean, is tasked with managing the needs of its vast population through precise and inclusive data collection.
According to United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA collaborations with local institutions like The Centre of Excellence on Population and Wellbeing Studies at NUST emphasize the importance of data in demographic studies and policy-making. Research at the center reveals critical insights into population trends, such as the higher likelihood of gender-based violence in certain demographics and the positive impact of maternal education on child health.
These findings underscore the necessity of comprehensive data systems that can guide effective resource allocation and ensure equitable development across Pakistan. As the nation faces rapid population growth, the integration of detailed, actionable data will be vital in transforming demographic challenges into opportunities for national progress.
