In 2016, there were approximately 19.2 thousand millionaires in Pakistan. The number of individuals owning one million U.S. dollars or more in Pakistan is expected to rise to 26.9 thousand by 2026.

HNWI forecast in Pakistan

Individuals with investible assets of at least one million U.S. dollars in current exchange rate terms are considered high net worth. The number of high-net-worth individuals in Pakistan is expected to rise overall between 2022 and 2028, settling at just under eight thousand individuals.

Countries with the highest millionaire rate

In 2021, Switzerland had the highest rate of millionaires in the world, with 16.4 percent of the adult population owning assets worth more than one million U.S. dollars. Luxembourg came in second, with 16.2 percent of the population being millionaires, and Iceland came in third. Furthermore, over 22 million people in the United States were among the world's top one percent of ultra-high net-worth individuals in 2021. China came second, with over five million top one percent wealth holders worldwide.

In 2015, Pakistan saw the biggest number of citizens leaving the country to work abroad, totaling approximately 947,000. The years between 2012 and 2016 witnessed the largest levels of labor migration from the country, with at least 620,000 traveling abroad each year. Some of the lowest levels of labor migration from the country were recorded in 2020 and 2021; this was largely due to the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

What are the leading destinations for Pakistani migration? Pakistan has a sizable population of over 220 million people. Countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council are popular destinations for Pakistani migrant workers due to their proximity and ease of access. For example, most of the labor migration to the United Arab Emirates in 2022 came from Pakistan. Citizens from Pakistan work in a wide range of fields, including both skilled and unskilled professions. However, most skilled workers from the country often opt for careers in Western Europe or North America due to higher wages and currency exchange rates.

Vital to the economy Pakistani citizens working abroad play a key role in their nation’s economy. The unemployment rate in Pakistan has significantly increased in recent years. Therefore, the country is heavily dependent on remittances coming from citizens working abroad. Over the years, the value of remittances received in Pakistan has continued to increase, witnessing only a small dip in 2022. These remittances help workers support their families back in Pakistan. Additionally, they aid in shoring up the country’s foreign currency reserves, which is vital for international trade.

In 2022, India overtook China as the world's most populous country and now has almost 1.46 billion people. China now has the second-largest population in the world, still with just over 1.4 billion inhabitants, however, its population went into decline in 2023. Global population As of 2025, the world's population stands at almost 8.2 billion people and is expected to reach around 10.3 billion people in the 2080s, when it will then go into decline. Due to improved healthcare, sanitation, and general living conditions, the global population continues to increase; mortality rates (particularly among infants and children) are decreasing and the median age of the world population has steadily increased for decades. As for the average life expectancy in industrial and developing countries, the gap has narrowed significantly since the mid-20th century. Asia is the most populous continent on Earth; 11 of the 20 largest countries are located there. It leads the ranking of the global population by continent by far, reporting four times as many inhabitants as Africa. The Demographic Transition The population explosion over the past two centuries is part of a phenomenon known as the demographic transition. Simply put, this transition results from a drastic reduction in mortality, which then leads to a reduction in fertility, and increase in life expectancy; this interim period where death rates are low and birth rates are high is where this population explosion occurs, and population growth can remain high as the population ages. In today's most-developed countries, the transition generally began with industrialization in the 1800s, and growth has now stabilized as birth and mortality rates have re-balanced. Across less-developed countries, the stage of this transition varies; for example, China is at a later stage than India, which accounts for the change in which country is more populous - understanding the demographic transition can help understand the reason why China's population is now going into decline. The least-developed region is Sub-Saharan Africa, where fertility rates remain close to pre-industrial levels in some countries. As these countries transition, they will undergo significant rates of population growth

In 2022, Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims worldwide with around 241.5 million. This was followed with around 225.6 million Muslims in Pakistan and 211.16 million Muslims in India.

Islam is the major religion in many African countries, especially in the north of the continent. In Comoros, Libya, Western Sahara, at least 99 percent of the population was Muslim as of 202. These were the highest percentages on the continent. However, also in many other African nations, the majority of the population was Muslim. In Egypt, for instance, Islam was the religion of 79 percent of the people. Islam and other religions in Africa Africa accounts for an important share of the world’s Muslim population. As of 2019, 16 percent of the Muslims worldwide lived in Sub-Saharan Africa, while 20 percent of them lived in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Together with Christianity, Islam is the most common religious affiliation in Africa, followed by several traditional African religions. Although to a smaller extent, numerous other religions are practiced on the continent: these include Judaism, the Baha’i Faith, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Number of Muslims worldwide Islam is one of the most widespread religions in the world. There are approximately 1.9 billion Muslims globally, with the largest Muslim communities living in the Asia-Pacific region. Specifically, Indonesia hosts the highest number of Muslims worldwide, amounting to over 200 million, followed by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Islam is also present in Europe and America. The largest Islamic communities in Europe are in France (5.72 million), Germany (4.95 million), and the United Kingdom (4.13 million). In the United States, there is an estimated number of around 3.45 million Muslims.

Census Blocks from 2010 were spatially joined to Census Block Groups from 2020 to compare the population and housing figures. This is not a product of the US Census Bureau and is only available through City of Wichita GIS. Please refer to Census Block Groups for 2010 and 2020 for verification of all data Standard block groups are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-character census block number. For example, blocks 3001, 3002, 3003… 3999 in census tract 1210.02 belong to Block Group 3. Due to boundary and feature changes that occur throughout the decade, current block groups do not always maintain these same block number to block group relationships. For example, block 3001 might move due to a change in the census tract boundary. Even if the block is no longer in block group 3, the block number (3001) will not change. However, the identification string (GEOID20) for that block, identifying block group 3, would remain the same in the attribute information in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles because block identification strings are always built using the decennial geographic codes.Block groups delineated for the 2020 Census generally contain between 600 and 3,000 people. Local participants delineated most block groups as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau delineated block groups only where a local or tribal government declined to participate or where the Census Bureau could not identify a potential local participant.A block group usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one block group and block groups are uniquely numbered within census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, block groups never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian areas.Block groups have a valid range of 0 through 9. Block groups beginning with a zero generally are in coastal and Great Lakes water and territorial seas. Rather than extending a census tract boundary into the Great Lakes or out to the 3-mile territorial sea limit, the Census Bureau delineated some census tract boundaries along the shoreline or just offshore.

The number of billionaires in Pakistan is forecast to reach four in 2026. In 2016, there were just three individuals whose net worth exceeded one billion U.S. dollars in Pakistan.

Leading billionaire cities

According to the Hurun Global Rich List 2022, Beijing had the most billionaires in 2022. In total, 144 billionaires lived in China's capital. Furthermore, 121 billionaires resided in Shanghai, while 110 were in New York. Many of the world's billionaires are concentrated in a few megacities. A look at the primary industries of billionaires globally helps to explain the importance of traditional global business capitals such as New York, London, and Hong Kong. The inclusion of Chinese cities on the list can be explained partly by the country's industrial conglomerates' strong performance in recent years.

The effect of COVID-19 on the wealth of billionaires

Elon Musk was the billionaire whose fortune grew the most due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From September 2019 to September 2022, Elon Musk increased his net worth by 231.1 billion US dollars. Google’s Larry Page added the second highest value to his net worth during the period under consideration, with an increase of 37.5 billion dollars. In contrast, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth decreased by nearly 12 billion US dollars during the same time.

In 1800, the population of Indonesia was estimated to be approximately 16 million. The population of the island nation would grow steadily over the course of the 19th century, as the Dutch colonial administration launched several initiatives to modernize the region. After reaching 38 million people in 1900, the population of Indonesia would continue to grow until the 1940’s, when the Japanese occupation of the country would see between four to ten million Indonesians moved away from the island nation to be made to work on Japanese military projects, and in combination with wartime famine, this would result in the death or displacement of up to four million Indonesians by the end of the Japanese occupation in 1945. Despite this, Indonesia's population continued to grow throughout these years.

Following the Second World War, Indonesia claimed its independence from the Netherlands, and achieved this in 1949. In the second half of the 20thcentury, the population would continue to grow exponentially in size through the remainder of the 20th century, although the growth rate would slow somewhat in the 1980s, the result of a decline in fertility rate throughout the country which some studies suggest may be attributed to improved access to birth control and improved mass education. In 2020, Indonesia is estimated to have just over 273.5 million people living within its borders, making it the fourth most populous country in the world (behind the U.S. and above Pakistan).
