Look at Fig. 4.1, a line graph that shows population change in Pakistan from 1950 to 2020. From Fig. 4.1 only, identify: the birth rate in 1950 (per 1000 people); the death rate in 2010 (per 1000 people); the year in which the natural increase was highest.
State how the rate of natural increase is worked out.
State two effects of a rising percentage of older dependents (people aged 60 and over) in Pakistan’s population structure.
Study Fig. 4.2, a bar graph that shows the net migration rate for Pakistan between 1981 and 2021. Net migration = number of immigrants - number of emigrants. Using Fig. 4.2 only, identify: a year when immigrants outnumbered emigrants; the net migration rate in 2011 (per 1000 people).
Explain two reasons why people may emigrate from Pakistan. You should develop your answer.
