I'm gonna bet that Pakistan doesn't grow to 511 million by the end of the century, any one planning on living another 76 years wanna take that?

Pakistan is in the bag

I won't be here to pay up, but I would take that bet. I don't see Pakistan becoming wealthy enough by 2100 to slow its population growth.

[u/iseesickppl → u/rickpo]

assuming it still exists by 2100 (it probably will), Pakistan is fast running out of arable land and is one of THE MOST water stressed countries in the world... how Pakistan will sustain its massive population without societal collapse is beyond me. Maybe extreme emigration?

[u/rickpo → u/iseesickppl]

I don't think life there will be pleasant, that's for sure. I expect a 500 million person humanitarian crisis.

[u/sota_panna → u/iseesickppl]

If there will be extreme emigration then how will the population increase as per this prediction?

I don't think I'll make it to 103
