Unemployment---6.8% (2008 est.)-------------7.4% (2008 est.)
-------------------7.2% (2007 est.)-------------5.6% (2007 est.)
Again, we see that unemployment was significantly lower in Pakistan compared to India in 2007, until the extremely poor 2008 year.
Poverty-----------25%--------------------------24%---------------
Pakistan has slightly lower poverty levels than India as well. By the way, the WB and independent Pakistani institutions have calculated the 2008 Pakistan poverty rate to be around 17%, which is a significant improvement.
17% Poverty rate in Pakistan - World Bank
The rest of the numbers largely bear out my argument that the per capita indicators are largely close, with Pakistan ahead in some and India in others.
It would be interesting to see how Pakistan's HDI index is impacted with the more current numbers I provided on the per capita GDP and if the WB estimated poverty numbers are accepted.

Achievements are meant to be broken - the point is that plenty of evidence has been presented documenting Pakistani achievements. You need to look beyond your anti-Pakistan agenda and bias to recognize that. |
