1998 Census of Pakistan
The 1998 Census of Pakistan, conducted from March 15 to March 31, marked the country's fifth national population census since its independence in 1947. It reported a total population of approximately 132.35 million people, reflecting a significant increase from previous census figures. The census aimed to gather comprehensive demographic data, including age, gender, and socioeconomic status, and served critical roles in resource allocation, policy planning, and electoral representation. The enumeration process faced challenges, including political sensitivities and logistical issues, partly stemming from historical tensions with neighboring India. The 1998 Census highlighted regional disparities and ethnic diversity, informing discussions on national identity and governance in Pakistan.
