Average Pakistani per capita is $1193

[Shazzad123]

I can't believe that the average Pakistani per capita is literally a 1 week wage for the average truck driver in America

You can work at McDonalds on minimum wage for 2 weeks in America and make more than a average Pakistani does in the whole year

$1193 is extremely bad

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD

This will lead to low IQ, less height, less muscle mass, more malnutrition, higher stress levels and possibly even death in some cases too

The average Pakistani is living on a thin piece of thread

There needs to be some manufacturing plants set up ASAP

Any type of self made innovative ideas will be seen as progress

Most lands start off as manufacturing hubs before moving on to highly qualified service sector economy

No wonder Pakistanis don't mind going to the Gulf to work as construction workers.

Anything is better than this average

No point in building fake Bahria Towns with such insane low numbers

An average white person in the west wouldnt even tolerate living in such low numbers. A Hitler conservative would have been born by then.

We can learn some tips on textile manufacturing plants from Bangladesh

They produce most of the world's textiles nowadays

This is an arbitrary number based on official income and without considering the barter economy.

60 % population lives in rural areas where they grow their own food and other basic necessities furthermore real matrix is PPP income in which Pakistan is not that bad. While u r ight average income is lower than average truck driver but what about expenses? Here in Pakistan u can get a meal enough for man as low as 0.3 dollars. Roti is somewhere around 7 cents.

So measuring income at market prices is misleading.

Its not like that pakistani are dying of hunger. Even in biggest of metropolis like karachi (which is very expensive in comparison to rest of the country) there r services providing free food to all and there r number of such organization. So pakistani are well off

However our income is still very low and we needs to work to hard to reverse that.

So instead of figuring out ways to improve your numbers. You're going to accept the fact that most of Pakistan is a rural based economy which can't provide basic services to its citizens such as up to date healthcare facilities, welfare systems, educational institutions which teach stuff that is useful besides being a 3rd rate doctor or 3rd rate engineer.

Having low expectations is a huge fault of the average population in the region apparently

Also most Pakistanis are not growing their own food

The average Pakistani height has fallen by 4 inches

Most people get taller as the years go on, Pakistanis are apparently getting shorter. Height is an indicative of malnutrition levels in the region or overall development of a land.

A newly graduated, a degree holder is working on income more or less of a butler/janitor. A Taxi driver or a person with a running food stall on average makes better income.

Yes because our graduate are studying course atleast 5 decades old. Can u say similar thing about graduates of proper universities like LUMS, iba, ned, qua8d.e.azam university ?

The average per capita in war torn Iraq and Papua New Guinea is more than Pakistan

Pakistan is comparable to South Sudan where there is rogue militas and decades of war like the janjaweed and darfur genocide issues

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD

Imagine being so poor that you're next to failed tribal warfare states

 

[Big Tank]

That's true. Our per capita gdp is way low. Even Iran being under sanctions has 5500 USD and the people live better life as compared to us. Not complaining but Pakistan is very ill-managed and resources are wasted.

Even we own way less cars than other countries.

The universities you named cannot intake millions of people passing grade 12 or choosing higher studies. The system collapases because everyone wants to go to or teach for a so-called overrated PROPER university while those left behind choose business over education upon graduating. some do excel among them regardless..

You do know that there is NO standard method to calculate GDP per capita which each country follows. Each country has it's own method and the said organisations have to accept the figures of each government. That means that GDP per capita figures are easy to manipulate and subject to fraud:

Here is a link to a PHD study that confirms this. It contains citations and cross references with confirmed, genuine and authentic sources:

GDP per capita is the average income of people in every country converted into US dollars

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Yes but the methods used to calculate those figures vary from country to country and are open to manipulation and falsification. There is NO STANDARD, FAIR method that each country follows. Here is the evidence that proves this:

Indus civilization, the earliest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent. The nuclear dates of the civilization appear to be about 2500–1700 BCE, though the southern sites may have lasted later into the 2nd millennium BCE. Learn more about the Indus civilization in this article.

What does this link prove?

Its just history

It proves the way that governments manipulate and fudge their gdp per capita figures. Read it ALL carefully.

Read last line of my post. Where did i deny that our income is low and we need to work on it.

I am just saying that comparing our income with US on the market price is totally invalid as prices in USA are way to high.

In terms of PPP our per capita income is 4550.

So while setting standard low is bad but projecting yourself bad then the actual situation is also wrong
