From policy perceptive the number one problem is population, there are too many mouths to feed and our economy can not take this weight. Our population is growing at a rate so high that we are unable to respond adequately. For instance, despite HIV/AIDS outbreak in rural Sindh there is no family planning programme being implemented. This is leading to more HIV/AIDS, especially in the newborn.
The inequalities are are becoming a problem because of the growing population. People who are stuck in poverty and they have no means of producing any income are having more children. These people also face a nutritional deficiency, but they are still having children causing high stunting rates.
More people means more waste, which is directly linked to environment.
