Islamabad's population of 2.36 million continues to grow, with an annual growth rate of 2.8 percent. This trend reflects how Islamabad has become a rapidly urbanizing center, attracting significant inter-provincial migrations. The report notes that a gender gap persists across population dynamics, specifically in areas like Information Communication Technology access, CNIC registration, and opportunities for marginalized groups, such as women, children, transgenders, persons with disabilities, religious minorities, and Afghan refugees.
