From the above data, we can conclude that:  

China has the highest population size closely followed by India. The population of Pakistan is very small and it constitutes about one tenth of population of China or India. The Density of population is lowest in China and highest in India. One child norm in China has lowered the growth rate of population in that country. The sex ratio is low in all the three countries as the society is biased against women and male dominated. The fertility rate is highest in Pakistan and lowest in China whereas China has the highest degree of urbanization as compared to India and Pakistan.
