Pakistan’s working-age population displayed a continuous rise from in 1990 to in 2022. This increase reflects Pakistan’s youthful population structure and high birth rates, which sustain a growing labor force despite economic and political challenges. The steady growth indicates a positive demographic trend that could support economic development if matched with job creation and skill development. This demographic dividend represents an opportunity for Pakistan to harness its young workforce for economic growth, though it will require focused policies to improve employment and productivity outcomes.
