4 out of 5 Pakistanis say country headed in the wrong direction: survey

AFP/Aamir Qureshi
Four out of every five Pakistanis believe that the country is generally headed in the wrong direction, the latest survey by research company IPSOS showed.
More than 1,000 people from all over the country participated in the survey which was conducted between December 1 and December 6, 2020.

The findings were released on Tuesday for the last quarter (Q4) of 2020 and compared people's responses from the same period a year ago.
The survey showed that last year, in the fourth quarter, 21% people believed that the country was headed in the right direction, while 79% thought the opposite.
This year has seen a very small improvement, with 23% saying they believe Pakistan is on the right track and 77% thinking it is not.

Financial situation
This year, 36% people said that their current personal financial situation is weak, 13% characterised it as strong while 51% said it is neither strong nor weak.
By comparison, last year, 38% had said their financial situation is weak, 5% had termed it strong and 57% had put it in between.
This indicates a slight improvement in personal finances with a 2% drop in the weak category and an 8% rise in the strong category.

Province-wise assessment
When a province-wise assessment was done, it was found that a “poor financial situation” is prominent across all the provinces.
Inflation ranked the highest among the top 4 contributors to the situation.
In Sindh, the second highest contributor was viewed to be unemployment (20%), followed by COVID-19 (17%) and poverty (16%).
In Punjab, 23% people felt the province’s poor financial situation stems from unemployement, 8% thought it was due to COVID-19 and 14% believed poverty has a role.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 18% felt unemployment is the leading cause, 12% attributed it to COVID-19 and 8% felt it was plain poverty that was behind the province’s financial situation.
In Balochistan, 25% people responded by blaming unemployment, a mere 2% felt COVID-19 played a role, and 25% felt it was poverty that has led to the province’s dismal state of financial affairs.

Patwari network survey.

 

[I S I]

If Indians are worried for us then it's good news.

 

[hualushui]

Every Pakistani website has a group of Indians who comment

 

[Han-Tang]

Every Pakistani website has a group of Indians who comment

and Indians care for Pakistan and China more than their own country.
lots of love from India!!! LOL

 

[IceCold]

If Indians and Patwaris are so concerned about our country headed in the wrong direction, I have nothing to worry than.

Shitty Sample = Shitty Survey Results

Pakistan is headed in the wrong direction, at least economically. It is increasingly in debt and beholden to China which is exploiting its state to further increase its influence in the country. The main reason is there are no jobs for the growing workforce. The private sector is undeveloped and foreign investment is scant. Every Pakistani tries to get a job with the government, leading to a bloated bureaucracy.

Socially, Pakistan is also losing its sense of morality and religious values, something which even Imran Khan admitted in his interview with Hamza Abbasi. Western decadence is taking root among Pakistani youth through social media and even mainstream media (the entertainment industry).

Politically, Pakistan is increasingly becoming an authoritarian police state, with less freedom of the media and press. PEMRA regularly censors media coverage of major events that take place in Pakistan. Journalists are occasionally abducted and vanished. Religious minorities like the Ahmadis are also persecuted in Pakistan with discriminatory laws that criminalize their religious beliefs and its propagation.

Geopolitically, Pakistan is increasingly isolated. It has frosty relations with its old Gulf Arab friends, with the United States and the West in general. As India continues to grow economically into a regional power, Pakistan will have to devote more of its budget to the arms race to keep up with India's progress, but that will only serve to bankrupt Pakistan further, just as the USSR was drained in its arms race with the US though it couldn't keep up and eventually collapsed.

 

[Imran Khan]

when they have this survey ? i should be join them

 

[Cherub786]

I asked you before. Could CPEC be avoided if Imran Khan was PM in 2013?

- PRTP GWD

I don't remember being asked, and I have no clue as to the answer, so would rather not speculate

 

[Death Professor]

Pajeet, worrying about Pakistan instead of their own Farmers and their protests. I guess, we must be going in the right direction then.

The highlighted was the sole purpose of your cheap banter, as an Indian you don't have a voice so you creatures need a Pakistani forum to kiss your own backside. No one in Pakistan gets lynched for eating their diet. It's India which is running like a headless chicken after OIC decided to include IOK in it's agenda....today even Nepal is showing India the middle finger but then there's a reason your own Justice Katju called Indians out and I'm sure the idiots percentage has increased well over 90% by now.

Yes, but they get lynched for *allegedly* committing blasphemy. Like that bank manager in Khushab district, whose own guard shot him simply because he said it's not necessary to read Sunnat prayers after Fard prayers!

Or Tahir Naseem, a US citizen, who was murdered openly in court, simply because he claimed to be a prophet!

So how is Pakistan any better than India when it comes to this kind of religiously motivated violence and discrimination?

No doubt there are bad apples in every society, may i remind you India is also one of the biggest Beef exporter and if you must, it's only in India, they kill low caste as sport.

Yes, and I also remember a story of three Pakistani doctors who refused to save the life of a Christian Chuhra who had fell into a sewer manhole and was covered in filth because it was Ramadan and they were fasting.
Lanat on that roza which takes away your humanity. What is the purpose of keeping fast in Ramadan?

Pakistani sewage worker dies after 3 doctors on Ramadan fast refuse to touch him - World Watch Monitor

A Pakistani Christian sewerage cleaner has died after three doctors refused to treat him till his sludge-covered body had been washed; they said their Ramadan fast would be invalid (“makruh”) because he was “unclean” and also belonged to a low caste.
