And by having projects instead of spoon feeding people will we have jobs.
And FYI, I've been to Pakistan. I know the situation and I study economics. The woman who works in the kitchen for 4-5 hours faces less amount of work than seen here in west. When we had women come to our home and do work, they got breaks when they wanted, steal money, eat food without paying, drink, their kids would come, we'd take them on vacation. Now do you see this in the west? In the west, you slack off, you get fired.
The 15% poverty survives due to the help of gov't, which is very tiny nonetheless. Pakistan cannot help its poor people, because there's just too many of them and its not a strong economy like Canada. The point I was making, poverty exists in Canada YET gov't does not help the poor enough and purchases expensive F35s, space program and so on. The F35 program runs into tens of billions of dollars. Instead of purchasing F35s, which it not need, for $71 billion (liftime cost), it could've given the 5 million poor Canadians over $10,000 each.
What Pakistan can do is invest in jobs/education.
There is a saying something like this
Feed the man fish once or teach him how to fish and he'll eat rest of life.
Finally, I'm not abusing home country here. Neither did I beg pakistan for bread and butter. And I owe to this country more than pakistan for it gave me health and education, yet I wish to work in Pakistan after receiving education. You're part of the problem which holds back the country. You rather have India spoon feed everyone instead of going for space exploration, science, technology and so on. Because hey, until poverty is reduced, we shouldn't advance at any cost.
Don't open the mouth too much without knowing enough.
