==Vital statistics== As Pakistan lacks a national [[Vital statistics (government records)|vital statistics]] system that publicly disseminates data, all of the following information is made from estimates, which are constantly being revised. The [[United Nations]] estimated that in February 2021, only 42% of births in Pakistan were [[Civil registration|officially registered]], making it the world's most populous country where more than half of births remained unregistered.<ref name="UNRegistrationEstimates">{{cite web |title=Coverage of Birth and Death Registration β 2021 |url=https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic-social/crvs/documents/2021-coverage.xlsx |website=Coverage of Birth and Death Registration β 2021 |publisher=United Nations |access-date=8 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123203454/https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic-social/crvs/documents/2021-coverage.xlsx |archive-date=23 January 2022 |date=February 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> The United Nations was unable to estimate how many deaths were officially registered.<ref name="UNRegistrationEstimates" /> ===Demographic and Health Surveys=== Surveys taken by the Pakistani government or intergovernmental organisations are seen as the most reliable method of keeping tabs on birth, death, fertility, and infant mortality rates in a country without a reliable vital registration system.
