Your level of maturity and attitude is sad.....as is your level of English. How old are you? Cook up with??
Gender-gap is not crap - it's one of the primary 'soft' metrics used by investors (not three-minute Google experts) to measure the level of how 'civilized' a country is and how attractive an investment destination it is, everything else (in your words GDP, HDI, GINI index, GDP PPP, i.e. Googling catchwords) and infra maturity being more or less equal.
Women are the primary driver and labor force in low-cost industries like Textiles and Shoes - that is how Taiwan, Korea and most recently China, came up the ladder to being middle-income economies. Pakistan has to do the same. Weapons exports won't do it. Pharma may - but so far South Asian countries other than India have been lackluster in it. So if Pakistan wants to be a middle-income economy at some point there will be some hard choices to make. I say this as a well-wisher, otherwise why would I care?
In South Asia both Pakistan and India trail Bangladesh in this Gender-gap regard and their labor costs are also significantly higher than Bangladesh. Now guess where foreign investment (especially - escaping from China) is going to go?
As small as Bangladesh is, it has over fifty SEZ's almost ready to go, most of them full of export factories, making everything China itself makes. The number of SEZ's will cross one hundred soon.
There are multiple low cost logistics channels to carry containers back and forth from ports (inland river-ports, rail-container logistics and of course semi-truck). And all containers available from ship to factory-dock in a matter of days, not weeks. We've been planning and building this for over two decades now. You (or other Pakistanis here) hardly have a clue.
Even Pakistanis I have spoken to have agreed with me worrying about these factors.
Why do you think hundreds of Pakistani investors have set up textile mills, or just dyeing and weaving units in Bangladesh? We didn't ask them to come, they did it themselves. We are running a power surplus for over five years now. In five more years we will be adding another 15,000 MW to the grid at a minimum.
Trying to engage you in sane productive discourse was a mistake because you are incapable of according or getting respect. You have been ignored and reported.
