...POVERTY A MAJOR ISSUE Poverty is lack of basic human needs like health, education, clean water, nutrition etc. It is a condition in which one income is not sufficient enough to fulfill his basic needs. It is curse and something like nobody would want to own. In Pakistan it is not a yesterday born issue, it is eating up Pakistan and now it has spread out its circle to a larger radius now. Historically it began just with independence because of lack of proper resources at that time. In 1980 there was a slight decline in its level but the level again risen up after 1990 and till now it is rising with fluctuation of time. Currently about 35% of Pakistan population lives below the line of poverty. Mostly people of rural areas live below the line of poverty and two third of our population live in rural areas. Scenario is also not different in urban areas where 40% population of urban area live below the line of poverty. Currently poverty is the cause behind many critical problems in Pakistan on one hand but it is also outcome of many other problems. There are a lot of reasons behind poverty. Mostly people blame politics and politicians as one of the reason for prevailing poverty. Some call it lack of good leadership, some call it bad government policies and some call it bad politics but they all are same in one. Politicians are some time not sincere for eradication of poverty and some do not have proper plan for its solution. The policies adopted by different government only cause...

...University of central Punjab Project title: Unemployment in Pakistan Assigned by: Rizwan Pasha Assigned to: Ali Haider 0043 Abrar Hussain 0057 Waleed Adil 0066 MBA 1-B Definition of 'Unemployment' Unemployment occurs when a person who is actively searching for employment is unable to find work. Unemployment is often used as a measure of the health of the economy. The most frequently cited measure of unemployment is the unemployment rate. This is the number of unemployed persons divided by the number of people in the labor force. Unemployment in Pakistan: It is a universal problem, even the most advanced & prosperous countries of the world like USA, Britain & Japan are confronted with this problem. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to provide jobs to all. Honestly speaking, this problem exists in our country in an alarming degree. It is a fact that one person out of ten is out of work in Pakistan. The problem is serious in our country because we have unemployment among all the sections of our society among the educated & uneducated, among the skilled & unskilled. It is most unfortunate that highly qualified & professional persons like doctors, engineers & teachers are without jobs. It is painful to see them wandering from door to door in search of jobs. Many of them have gone abroad and are serving the people of other countries. It is estimated that more than a million people are entering the...

...Gender and Health Gender is a crucial element in health inequities as it influences the control men and women have over the determinants of their health, including their economic position and social status, access to resources and treatment in society. Decades of active lobbying by non-governmental organizations and women’s rights advocates have had a major influence in ‘gendering’ health policies, such as the shift in focus from family planning to reproductive health paradigms and the global acknowledgement that violence against women is as much a health issues as a social issue. The Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, in his seminal book ‘Development as Freedom’, emphatically stressed the relationship between women's education, social status and overall child and maternal health when he made education and health as the two basic capabilities that makes life meaningful and the enjoyment of freedom possible. Analysis of economic and socio-cultural context is an important component of health policy analysis because contextual factors significantly influence the health policy process and the overall health of population directly and indirectly. Paying attention to contextual factors helps in understanding the role of the state, society and market forces influencing health agenda, health planning and implementation, and even more important health outcomes. Health as a sector best typifies the fallacy of the trickledown theory – that despite periods of high economic growth and activity...

...Abstract The aim of this work is to look into urbanization trend in Pakistan and its socio-economic implications. The study would examine the effectiveness of a range of remedies applied in Pakistan, and as to how other countries are dealing with the problems arising due to urbanization. Based on analysis of the case of Pakistan and cross-country experiences, an attempt will be made to suggest remedies based on regulatory framework and various economic instruments to resolve the urbanization related issues. Urbanization is generally considered as a means and an end towards development. In Pakistan as well, the transition of a substantial portion of population to a largely urban population and the development of mega-urban regions/centers is being viewed as an engine of economic growth in the Government’s ‘New Growth Framework’. The success of this Growth Framework depends, to a large extent, on the speed with which the urban centers are transformed into dynamic, knowledge-based, productive, healthy and efficient centers. Urbanization is the process of a country becoming more industrialized from a previously agricultural dominated society; it is a cyclical process involving three essential aspects: behavior, structure and demography.

...Benjamin Conner University of Kentucky PLS 103-002 Pakistan is a country that is advanced compared to other countries around their own region. That region is the Middle East region. Agriculture in Pakistan covers both livestock and crops. When a country becomes wealthier they are able to raise and eat more meat, but I will mostly be talking about the agricultural state dealing with crop production and how that affects Pakistan through many aspects. They are a country whose biggest crop production comes from the cereals rice and wheat. Pakistan has the ability to be a major contributor in international trade, but at the same time they need to watch out for their own people. Pakistan is vulnerable because many people throughout Pakistan are close to food insecurity, while others already live in this state. Pakistan is still a developing country, but has taken great strides and is getting closer each day to being a developed country. According to the World Factbook of the CIA, Pakistan has a population of 190,291,129 people that is increasing at a rate of 1.551%. This percent has been lowered which is important for countries to become stable, but can still be even more. Religious leaders have been encouraged to help with family planning (Quetta 2010). This in turn would help maintain population in the religious sectors which includes a large portion of Pakistani’s population. Another factor of population in Pakistan is the Taliban and al Qaeda terrorist. They live in...

...Federal Ministry of Health: A Study into the Information Management System and How Best the Ministry can Implement FOI Ordinance 2002 Consumer Rights Commission of Pakistan (CRCP) Centre for Civic Education, Pakistan (CCE) Implementation of Freedom of Information Ordinance 2002: A Case Study of Ministry of Health 1. Freedom of information is impossible to conceive in the absence of elaborate and efficient information and data management systems. Only when such systems are in place and are effectively implemented, it can be expected that information or data required for various purposes can be retrieved and put to use to support policies or relevant decisions. Lack of such systems creates a totally undesirable situation, which leads to uninformed decisions and policies, and the consequent failure of service delivery by related agencies. The significance of information and data management is, therefore, well established, and is given utmost importance in the developed countries. It is also crucial to make citizens’ right to know feasible and operational as data and information must exist and be properly indexed before it could be made accessible to the requesters. However, many developing countries suffer from serious difficulties in connection with information and data management systems. The related problems range between sheer nonexistence of crucial data to its poor maintenance, non-indexing, and loss. This state of affairs has serious implications for relevant...

That is the reason why they disclose the hidden facts of it and its structure and have made remarkable progress in many walks of life. Children are the flowers of heaven. They are the most beautiful and purest creation of God. They are innocent both inwardly and outwardly. No doubt, they are the beauty of this world. Early in the morning when the children put on different kinds of clothes and begin to go to schools for the sake of knowledge, we feel a specific kind of joy through their innocence. | | But there are also other children, those who cannot go to schools due to financial problems, they only watch others go to schools and can merely wish to seek knowledge. It is due to many hindrances and difficulties; desperate conditions that they face in life. Having been forced to kill their aspirations, dreams and other wishes, they are pressed to earn a living for themselves and for their families. It is also a fact that there are many children who play a key role in sustaining the economically life of...

BACKGROUND Economically, Pakistan was a very poor and predominantly agricultural country at the time of its independence in 1947 from British South Asia. During its first four decades, Pakistan's economic growth rate was better...
