FOREWORD

The Population Census Organisation issued its Bulletin No. 1 on the 2~h July, 1981. That Bulletin· contained previsional data on population and ~x-ratio upto the ievel of administrative district. It also contained the population of twelve most populous cities

of Pakistan.

In this Bulletin further breakdown of the already published data of the province of the Punjab is given upto Sub-Division/Tehsil level by sex and rural/urban distribution. Moreover, the population of urban areas i.e. Municipal Corporations, Municipal Committees, Town Committees and Cantonments have been shown in the respective Sub-Division/Tehsil.

The total population of the Punjab Province at the time of 1981 Census was 47 .116 million. It con~tituted 56.24% of the population of Pakistan at that time as

compared to 57.59% in 1972 Census. The population of this province has increased at.an average annual growth rate of 2.70% as compared to the national average of 2.99%.

I The population of th is province since 195 ~ is given as under : -

Year Population

1951 20,542,692 1961 25,462,336 1972 37,610, 159 1981 47, 116,000

The sex-ratio (males per hundred females) in 1981 was 111 as compared to 116 in 1972.

The population density has increased to 229 persons per kilometre in 1981 · from 183 persons per kilometre in 1972.

The urban population has increased from 24.42% in 1972 to 27.59% in 1981. The average annual growth rate of urban population during 1972-81 was 4.19% as compared to 4.56% during 1961-72. · ahore is the biggest city in the province where the

population was 29.2 lakh in March, 1981 as compared to 21.7 lakh in September, 1972.

The other cities with population of more than five lakh are Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan and Gujranwala. We have followed the administrative criterion of determining urban areas, i.e. treating those areas as urban which have been declared to be Municipal Corporations, Municipal Committees, Town Committees by the Provincial Government, and Cantonments.

However some areas, like Daud Khel having population more than 30,000,

Manawala Jodh Singh, Lilla, Musa Khel and Vehoa with population more than 10,000 and Shaun, Dogri Kalan, Dajal, Mangowal, Qaidabad, etc. with population more than

5,000 having urban features have, therefore, been left out from the count of urban areas

because they have not been declared as Town Committees. If the population of these areas

were to be added then the percentage of the urban population would be hi2her.

Dated : 12th December, 1981.
