Pew Survey: Pakistanis Strongly Believe in Working Hard to Succeed

[Developereo]

Deeds, not words.

There are those who talk big, and then there are those who quietly do what needs to be done. If I had to pick a country for 'no nonsense hard work', it would be Germany or Japan.

 

[Vinod2070]

That's a good sign.

All the best. Wish you good luck.

Double-counting: GDP overestimated, may be slashed by 10%

India has restated its GDP more often than Pakistan. The advance estimate of GDP growth for 2000-01 was 6%, this was revised to 5.2% in 2001, was reduced to 4% in 2002 and then raised again to 4.4% in 2003! The estimate for the 2006-07 agri-GDP growth figures was updated from 3.9 to 6 per cent around the end of January 2007; a rare, but by no means unique, occurrence. But agriculture is not the only culprit. The Index of Industrial Production Manufacturing for Dec ‘06 growth reported in Feb ‘07 was 11.9 per cent, it was then revised upwards to 13.4 per cent and now final estimates in May are at 14.5 per cent.

How reliable are India`s GDP and other figures?

The need of the hour is smart work not hard work.

That's a novel idea...especially coming from India where 60% of the population works in agriculture with a very low productivity...so low that 200,000 farmers in 10 years have taken their own lives because they couldn't even feed their families.

About 60% of India's workforce is in agriculture. Textile industry is the second biggest employer, accounting for a fifth of India’s exports, and employs almost 10 percent of India’s workforce, or some 35 million people, and has the potential to add another 12 million new jobs --dwarfing the 1-2 million jobs created by the much-heralded IT and BPO sector, according to a World Bank report.

Haq's Musings: Agriculture and Textiles Employ Most Indians and Pakistanis

I strongly disagree... We Pakistanis are the most Lazy people I've ever seen in my life... I've worked in 4-Different organizations with dealings from lower level personnel to higher ranked authorities including foreigners... we Pakistanis are lazy and most of us are aik number ke Kaam Chor... on the other hand, I found Chinese, Americans and Turks to be the hard working lot.

I am not sure where you have worked but my experience has been very different.

I believe I have worked a lot longer than you have and worked with many nationalities and I have found Pakistanis in the private sector companies to be just as hard working and dedicated as anyone else.

So what is the point you are trying to make, India sets targets and compares with actuals! Nothing wrong with that I hope.

You are trolling here with the same usual non-sense, to reply for the sake of it.... What he told is 60% is not doing smart work, So they should turn their woes to good for the sake of the nation.

You didnt disprove any thing I said...
China also followed same path as us till 1980s while we only adopted 'capitalism' from 1990s...
What is Hindhu rate of growth..?
When India was growing at 8-9% pakistan was at 4 percent.now there is an economic crisis and Indias growth rate is 6.5%.
What about yours...
please continue to post Bs like Indian journalists(who have seen 80 floor skyscrapers) was amazed and stunned to see 30 floor 'skyscrapers'rofl in pakistan

if you dont know hindu rate of growth then you shouldnt be talking economy, and forget about sky scrapper lets compare the road network...lol..you dont compare two countries by how many BMW you see on road but how many donkey carts you see

but If you really want to get stunned then you should visit Pakistan and see how bad this failing state if doing, many have been stunned

What do you know about "tu quoque" - a logical fallacy? Read up a bit on that to realize that your flimsy rebuttals are on a weak footing.

Secondly, not shying away from acknowledging India's mistakes, does poor performance by the neighbour justify bungling up of numbers in pakistan? It's like saying - shooting myself in the foot is perfectly fine, as long as the other guy shoots himself in the head.

Teenagers, unable to control hormones and incapable of releasing tension, resort to such gimmickry. Being a senior member here, one would expect a little more from you.

I could be mistaken, but in my personal opinion, it is ill-advised for expats to salvage what's left of their country by talking it up Simply because the contradiction could not be more obvious.

The very act of abandoning pakistan, carries an implicit admission of having deemed the home country as lacking opportunities, growth ans safety.

As for comparisons with India, i'm not much of a statistician or an economist, but the very fact that mumbai, alone, has a GDP (which if taken in addition to the local underground economy) greater than that of Pakistan, inspires some doubt in the legitimacy of calls to make such comparisons.

From the same survey

74% Pakistanis feel that country's economic conditions (which 91% feel are not good) will remain same or worsen in next 12 months

77% Pakistanis feel they are same or worse off than 5 years back

Why are you making stuff up?

The survey says that only 12% of Pakistanis are satisfied with the current direction of the country. However, 23% believe that Pakistan's economy will get better in the next 12 months. 26% expect it to remain the same and 43% (not 74% as you claim) think it will get worse.

Dude.. Pick up your specs and read again..

Only 9% Pakistanis feel the current National economic conditions are good

Only 26% Pakistanis expect economy to get better and hence 74% expect it to remain same or get worse (100-26)%..

About 60% of India's workforce is in agriculture.

According to World Bank(2010)- Agriculture is 51.1% & Industry is 23.4%.

Textile industry is the second biggest employer, accounting for a fifth of India’s exports, and employs almost 10 percent of India’s workforce, or some 35 million people, and has the potential to add another 12 million new jobs --dwarfing the 1-2 million jobs created by the much-heralded IT and BPO sector, according to a World Bank report.

Textile Sector export revenues were $33.3 Billion during 2011-12 while the IT Sector export revenues stood at $77.9 Billion during the same period.Nice try belittling the Indian IT sector

What was wrong with the post regarding 'Hindu' growth rate? What ticked you off so badly?

Its a fact that for most part of the three decades of 60 to 80s, Pakistan achieved a growth rate between 6 to 7.5%. This made the Pakistan middle class having better living standards than rest of South Asia.

India started catching up in 90s. Because India had a better industrial infrastructure, it gained the ground much rapidly.
