Before you say India is only 106th, India acquired much more poverty stricken regions pre1947. Even

The annual Legatum Prosperity Index has released its rankings for 2013, declaring Norway to be the most prosperous country, while putting Pakistan near the bottom with a rank of 132 in a total of 142 countries listed, according to their report .
LPI s Pakistan profile  suggests that Pakistan slipped from 107 in 2009 to 132 in 2013, but this is partly due to the addition of 32 new countries in the 2012 Prosperity Index. Most of the data used is from 2012 while some is older.
The percentage of exports that make up high-tech goods (1.8%) were much lower than in other countries (9.2% average), as was the size of foreign direct investment. The inflation rate for 2012 was listed as 9.7%, against the world average 6.2%
Curiously enough, the percentages of Pakistanis saying they had basic access to food and shelter, confidence in financial institutions and satisfaction in their living standards were always close to the global average.
As expected, safe for americans to travel to cuba civil war casualties were high in Pakistan. Sixty percent of people said they did not feel safe walking alone at night, whereas around 10% said they had been assaulted or had their property stolen within the past 12 months.
Compared to over 70% in the world, only 36% people in Pakistan said they were satisfied with the freedom of choice safe for americans to travel to cuba available here. But compared to the world average (68%), a slightly higher number of people (70%) said the country was a good place for ethnic safe for americans to travel to cuba minorities to live in.

This is our reality which our mullahs and military have bought upon us. This unfortunately has not sunk in most peoples heads. And we expect that when we talk to countries like the US that we should talk as equals. They probably laugh their heads of.
It reflects upon the leadership in Pakistan, keep it up and you will be at the bottom one of these days.There is corruption in every sector and institution of Pakistan and those who benefit from it are the riches people in Pakistan and most of them are doing business in Dubai where there no questions asked where did they get the loot.
People tend to handle safe for americans to travel to cuba the social conundrum through one dimension of focusing their energies on Primary education but the problem is not only quality education but also the lack of opportunity after they complete education.
We see the solution to this problem in a completely different way, instead of a top down or bottom up approach, a bridge should be built from the center. By educating and creating opportunities for children who have passed some primary education. The key audience for this hypothesis can be students who have passed metric but cannot afford higher safe for americans to travel to cuba education or are forced to work due to their current social or economic constraints.
The principle of this hypothesis is based on Social Business Principle, where young people can work and learn at the same time, the project being self-sustaining and reinvesting later in other social issues such as primary education, safe for americans to travel to cuba health, financing, etc.
It is based on the outsourcing and off-shoring model, where people can work online on projects (Such as data entry and data punching, graphic designing, software development [later stages] and earn a better living). Learning would commence in a college/university safe for americans to travel to cuba style environment.
Though, there have been other such initiatives in the past, most of them are related to establishing a cottage industry, safe for americans to travel to cuba followed by micro-franchising. We're planning not to setup a product industry, but a service industry, which primarily focuses on the important of technical education, such that it becomes a trend builder for future generations.
This will not only create jobs but help the students economically which is a short term solution. In long term it will create a better quality of life for the whole group and this will pass on to their families, to which the society can look up to as being an advantage of being educated and Self Sufficient. This might stop the school dropout rate and the youth will continue their studies and be part of this group of individuals. It will create an example for all the other students to follow their lead and lead them to a path of better living and well being in the society.
Wake up call for corrupt generals. Stop dictating foreign and defence policy and stop wasting safe for americans to travel to cuba precious resources on weapons of mass destruction. Sign no war pact with India and concentrate on economic development.
While v Pakistanis have the courage to look into our faults and criticize our shortcomings, some of the Indian s like this so called Imran of Azad Kashmir don t have the courage to come forward safe for americans to travel to cuba straight always conniving malice in disguise what a looser
The thing with such surveys is that they aren t too transparent. Like for example if they took 1000 people from, lets say, Dera Bugti, the results would turn out to be really gloomy. But if they took 1000 people from Islamabad, the results would be much different. Pakistan really needs to fix the regional disparity in my opinion.
Time is not far that pakistan will take over there place to 142, if the situation continue like this.This is what happens, when they consider Zaid Hamid,Hamid gul and hafeez saed as there national hero.You situation will not improve unless and until stops spreading hatred towards others safe for americans to travel to cuba for your own failure.You have to fix your problem and don t expect any one to fix your problem.
@Imran: your wish can t be true but the bigger problem here is now you are a Pakistani safe for americans to travel to cuba and you should do your best to make yourself safe for americans to travel to cuba and your nation safe for americans to travel to cuba proud rather than saying such innocuous words about your own country. It is our fault that pakistan is down there. A country is made from people and if people would wish like yours, then it is gonna be there for life. Own you country first and then talk.
Social Charity sector reads People in Pakistan turned out to be more charitable and helpful to strangers than in the rest of the world. A higher percentage of them happened to be married and religious too , and still given a rank of 130 in the survey. Quite a paradox, says so much about the neutrality of the survey.
@Chiniot Se: Your comment is exactly what is wrong with our nation. We live in a state of denial. Look at the raking methodology which is partly described in this article and is available safe for americans to travel to cuba on their website. It will be clear to you that the ranking is generally based on data which can be collected very easily. safe for americans to travel to cuba e.g. no. of hospital beds per 1000 people, enrollment rate of girls vs. boys in schools, life expectancy, confidence in the honesty of elections/government etc. By the way, the same london based agency has ranked Bangladesh, a Muslim country better than so called kafir countries India and Haiti. Please wake up to the reality that Pakistan actually has a lot of problems which will eventually lead to disintegration of our country if the general public does not realize that we do have serious problems.
Talking of economies, Pakistan is the 27th largest economy of the world with a GDP of $514.6 billion (2012 est.)(PPP). Ahead of Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Sweden, safe for americans to travel to cuba Bangladesh safe for americans to travel to cuba and ahead of almost 145 countries of the world. And the above mentioned survey stats are people opinion, and what they think about different aspects of the country.
These surveys are feel good factor for smaller countries like Luxembourg, Austria, Finland, Sweden, safe for americans to travel to cuba Denmark etc. The population safe for americans to travel to cuba in these countries are less than 6-8 million(per country). Smaller countries are obviously going to get better welfare related stats because of their low population. Ironically USA ranks 20th in the survey, below many countries of the world and Singapore, with one of the highest per capita income is not in the top ten. No wonder the survey is done by a London based, non-partisan company.
Before you say India is only 106th, India acquired much more poverty stricken regions pre1947. Even now when the South and West of India lead in economic growth Indian Punjab remains among the most prosperous states. And Punjab is the core of Pakistan.
This is true face of Pakistan. They always think Pakistan is better than India with less poverty etc etc.. But in truth, India has gone way ahead of Pakistan in almost all fields and never compare Bangladesh with a huge country like India. Suppose safe for americans to travel to cuba If you want to give Re. 1 to all citizens of India, you need 1.3 billion rupees. There are huge developments happening in India, one example being the 20 odd new cities they going to build on Delhi-Mumbai corridor. The poverty level has come down to 22% from 37% during the last 10 years.
@Another safe for americans to travel to cuba Pakistani: trolling safe for americans to travel to cuba or lol ing is for all to see. Against the global avg of 68%Pakistan scores 70 % on good place to live for ethnic minorities . Even the diehard Pakistani must be laughing !
I don t know what the heck you are talking about, at least we are self critical but you guys live in the land of milk and honey. Any thing wrong with you Indians are the fault of Pakistan or Pakistanis. Just look at the comments of you people day in and day out about the faults of Pakistan. I don t know where do you get time to scan Pakistani papers and then write nasty comments. I have yet to read any Indian paper and let alone write nasty comments, I am not hateful like you people are and just keep it up, even those who favor normal relations with India are beginning to understand the mindset of your people and the country. Pakistanis do not need India, our trade is mostly geared toward west and you guys could keep your cheap sub- standard merchandise in India.By the way I have guts enoubh to use my own name and identity to write any comments, safe for americans to travel to cuba you people take other people s names specially Muslim names to write nasty comments.
report on TOI says india dragged down mainly because of safety and
