Point being that there isn't evidence that Pakistan:

* doesn't see 'family planning' as increasing population

* has religious traditions incompatible with any interpretation of 'family planning'

If Pakistan has a strongly increasing population then it will be in good position to take advantage of depopulation in China and elsewhere.

It isn't quite "religion" as much as it is vast numbers of the poorly educated population using "religion" to support their highly conservative views. Religions, including the dominant one in Pakistan, have a component of social responsibility.

Pakistan too has a trend of decreasing birth rate with increasing economic power across the economic classes of people, even though all ascribe to the same religion.

Is 'family planning' not socially responsible?
