Economic Problems Faced by Pakistan

Pakistan with a population of 182,143,000 in 2013, it is one of the most populated countries in the world, but it is also one of the least developed (poverty in Pakistan) (WHO reference). Poverty is a prevalent issue through out Pakistan: “about one quarter of the population lives below poverty line” (Poverty in paki). Pakistani’s living in poverty being less common in the urban areas, and more common in the rural areas with about half of the rural population still under the category of absolute poverty (Poverty in paki). Poverty in Pakistan and throughout the world impacts the population’s ability to live healthy lifestyles. Without the means to acquire adequate nutrition, health care, and services, these people are unable to meet their individual health needs. Due to the link with poverty and health, it has remained priority in almost all national plans of Pakistan (Pakistan poverty).

Islamic societies similarly fail their people in the realm of economics. Unemployment in the Muslim world is high, and youth unemployment is the highest in the world at 23.2%.⁵ Muslim youth are deprived of meaningful work and the ability to build a future. Unable to focus on a home, many turn to the streets in protest. Muslim women are particularly affected, and experience up to 75% unemployment.⁶ This loss of female creative capital further contributes to economic stagnation, and social suffering.

Proud parents happily celebrating as their children are able to move onto a university level education, and continue into the job world well-equipped and ready to bring in a substantial income. Families escaping poverty after generations of impoverished relatives. If only life in Pakistan reflected this utopia. The reality is that thousands of tired, hungry children still struggle to get to school and receive a proper education. Families cannot send their kids, and the cycle of poverty proves inescapable. Until the government intervenes, there is no way for the country to pull itself out of an impoverished state and bring prosperity for future generations. With minimal federal intervention, Pakistan could swiftly increase the standard of living and level of education for its citizens. Every day, more and more young girls and boys could be trekking to newly constructed school buildings with a lunch in hand and the realization that they will learn substantial and relevant information with their newly appointed teacher. Literacy rates will spiral upwards, and the poverty strain will ease slightly. Although it will take time, this improved world can be achieved through the assistance of the federal government to already existing groups working to alleviate

1. Gen. In the world Pakistan is a county that is facing one of the most critical conditions of terrorism. Pakistan is on an urge of war against the terrorism since more than 15 years that has been killed thousands of innocent citizens and several hundred of soldiers and law and enforcement agencies' personnel during fighting against terrorism. This irritation has not only affected the peoples of Pakistan, but it has been also very bad effects upon the economy of Pakistan. These things have made the economic situation of the state unsteady and unsecured.

Most people in pakistan are very poor, some of them don't even have a place to live. Unlike Malala’s family have somewhere to live but it won't there’s. The pashtuns people never been outside of their village or district. All there seen is Hindu kush mountain because they have mountains on their

There are two main patterns within a democracy that can cause a backslide into a “gray zone” (Carothers). The first is feckless pluralism syndrome where a country has a substantial amount of freedom, holds regular elections, and power is exchanged between two parties. Nevertheless, political elites from major parties are corrupt, self-centered, and only work in their party 's self-interests. Exchange

It’s been more than 68 years of so called independence but yet we are not free. Although we were assigned with a new territory and a new title yet we haven’t stood up on our own. Pakistan is enormously confined within a foreign group of countries. And they manipulate us as they want and we are bound to follow them. A country prospers only when the basic requirements, food, clothes and shelter, are rendered to its citizens. But to do so, first we have to liberate our homeland from foreign affairs. There are a number of factors that are responsible for the downfall of Pakistan. Let’s have a look on 10 primary reasons behind the downfall of Pakistan:

Pakistan is afflicted with many economic problems such as unemployment, inflation but at the heart of it all lies the biggest problem which is incompetent management and unequal distribution of resources. Hence, for Pakistan, globalization is a boon.

As time passed, conditions in Pakistan worsened. Terrorists bombed mosques and churches, they threatened people to the point where every child was scared to leave his/her house . Robbery, corruption, strikes, revolts, and fights were everywhere.

On 14th August 1947 we received freedom and got a separate homeland named “Pakistan”. But on 16 December 1971 after the war we lost our one hand that is East Pakistan. The separation has many causes which are following :

As Alexander Wendt said, “anarchy is what states make of it”. In order to demonstrate why Pakistan’s pursuit of becoming a nuclear weapon state is constructivism, it is vital to understand the history between Pakistan and India.

Since the initiation of the Third Wave of Democracy, several countries have attempted to form a democratic system of governs. We take note that not all have succeeded. At the dawn of this era, democracy was being applied to countries with no prior history of a governing body that was place by the people for the people hence success of such a system could not be guaranteed because of the innumerous variables that existed in each country. People being the highlighted factor of variance, it may become easier to understand how countries such as Pakistan and Nigeria, both countries prior to the Wave had no local governing machinery. Pakistan further endured a partition from India which resulted in not only an instant religious and

According to Andrew Janos, “the price of economic progress has been political turmoil”. (Janos, pg. 21) If the Modernization Theory holds that countries tend to become more democratic the more they modernize, then political turmoil is to be expected in democracies. Certainly this can occur in both parliamentary and presidential systems: as Linz argues, the presidential system concentrates too much power on the president, resulting in “winner-take-all” politics (Linz, pg. 56) and the polarization of political parties. This is evident in the United States, where the president is elected separately and Congress is divided between the opposing Democrats and Republicans. Conversely, the parliamentary system in Britain, as well as that adapted by the former British colonies of Sri Lanka and Nigeria, has had its fair share of single-party hegemony and political abuse. (Horowitz, pg. 78) Democracy is therefore not a perfect form of government when put in practice, and much of its

So many people are living below the poverty line. Day by day poverty is increasing in the rural areas. If we see in the late 90s and if compare the economic conditions of urban and rural areas of the country it became more significant. This trend has been credited to an uneven impact of the financial go-slow in the rural areas affected by low economic development failure in public sector development spending and lower worker payment. There are also major differences in the different regions of Pakistan that donate to the country’s growing poverty.

It is commonly referred to as the "life line of the country", by aiding in large scale movement of people and freight throughout Pakistan. Recently a Pakistan railway is in crisis. This persistent failure owes to absence of a clear direction for the organization, a pessimistic organizational ethos
