Linking Poverty and Population

Re: # 6

thats because india has been growing rapidly now for well over a decade, while the 90`s was essentially a lost decase economically for pakistan. however, pakistan is now well on its way to playing catch up. in fact, it will be interesting to see whether india will be able to sustain its growth rates, which it must do since even 24% (as you claim) of the indian population comes to a huge number, as there are now 1 billion indians. you can do the math yourself. pakistans poverty rates will come down very quickly over the next few years. the musharraf government has begun tackling the problem very innovatively. its not a matter of if, but just when.

This from the BBC, and if pak`s on this here site were to be believed, everything was absolutely a-ok over yonder in pakland...????.....a bunch of liars, eh, you paks???.....I quote the venerable BBC.................

Pakistan given inflation warning

One third of Pakistan`s population lives in poverty
Financial institutions have warned that Pakistan`s high rate of inflation may eat into the country`s ``robust`` economic growth.
Inflation was at its highest since 1997, International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials said. State bank figures show inflation could hit 8.8% next year.

The warning comes after a similar caution by the Asian Development Bank.

All three.And, i blame the womenfolk.They use sex as a tool and childbirth as a weapon to possess their men.And, instead they lay waste entire nations and societies.Like they do ours.

``As things stand, in Pakistan, the percentage of those living below the poverty line is at over 34 per cent. ``

Yes. But the interesting aspect of this seems to be that the supposedly `educated` Pakis themselves have no idea of this gnawing problem of poverty in their country. Even a poor country like India has much lower concentration of poverty (24%) than Pakistan .

high population rates have been a nuisance for pakistan for quite a few years. its a pity nothing has been down to really counter it.

sure its come down from 3% ro 2% but further improvements are required.

The population and poverty are directly proportional, and cause the decline in the standard of living.

However, in South Asia, it is used as an excuse and a political weapon. Other nations with much higher population density have a very high standard of living compared to South Asia.

It`s poverty that is the cause of population growth. Not vice versa.
