ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan National Human Development Index (HDI) report released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) shows Punjab ahead of all other provinces.

Overall, the report categorises Pakistan at a medium level of human development.
Punjab province was allotted the highest HDI points for Pakistan – 0.732,
followed by Sindh (0.640),
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) at 0.628 and
Balochistan (0.421).

Immunisation rate stands
at 89 per cent for Punjab,
78 per ecnt for KP,
73 per cent for Sindh and
51 per cent for Balochistan.

90 per cent females and 89 per cent males in Punjab are immunised while for KP the figure stands at 79.5 and 77 per cent respectively. For Sindh, the immunisation rate is 72 per cent for females and 74 per cent for males while for Balochistan, the figure is 52 and 50 per cent respectively.

Six districts in the country have been categorised as highly developed,
four of which are in Punjab.
For the category of high medium-human development,
Punjab has the largest share at 19 districts.
78.3 per cent of people in Punjab express satisfaction with health services, 73.2 per cent in Sindh, 72.7 per cent in KP and 65.8 per cent in Balochistan.

With regards to education, average schooling years
in Punjab stand at 10.1 years,
9.7 years in KP,
8.3 years in KP and
7.4 years in Balochistan.

Living Standards
Balochistan also has the lowest levels of living standards at 33.9 per cent.
Punjab: 83%
Sindh: 67.6%
KP: 67.1%

Punjab, Sindh and KP have 83 per cent, 67.6 per cent and 67.1 per cent respectively.

Punjab is consequently considered as High Medium Human Developed,
Sindh and KP as Medium Human Developed and
Balochistan as Low Human Developed.

In addition, Punjab has a youth literacy rate of 73.6 per cent, 67.7 per cent in Sindh, 63.5 per cent in KP and 50 per cent in Balochistan.

However, gender seems to play an important role in youth literacy, with considerable levels of disparity found across the country. Male literacy levels in Punjab is at 71 per cent but 55 per cent for females. The figure for Sindh is 70 per cent and 49 per cent for males and females respectively. For KP males have a 71 per cent literacy level but 35 per cent for females. Finally, Balochistan has 61 per cent for males but 25 per cent for females.
With regards to Youth Development, Punjab again stands at the top with 0.57 points, followed by Sindh at 0.538 points, KP at 0.394 and Balochistan at 0.373.

For poverty and unemployment, Balochistan is the poorest with 0.394 points, followed by KP at 0.25 points, Sindh at 0.231 points and Punjab being the least poor at 0.152 points. Likewise, unemployment rate in Punjab is 5.2 per cent, 7.9 per cent for KP, 4.8 per cent for Sindh and 3.9 per cent for Balochistan.

yes it is expected that Punjab have higher HDI than other provinces (as most of districts are more literate and have good business base) .. HDI formed and get change in long term for any area and take more than or even 15 years to get change ...

KP far behind Punjab, reports UNDP

LAHORE - The policy of mega projects have been proved very effective in Punjab for public welfare and development and it has become the centre of the public debate ahead of the general elections, says a UNDP report.

“Punjab is known as a province building large infrastructure, roads, underpasses, overpasses, bypasses, power stations, metro bus systems, orange train and other means of mass transit. On the other hand, there are companies for clean drinking water and waste management,” it adds.

As opposed to this, the image of KP painted by its government and the ruling party is limited to the imaginations of development. They have laid emphasis on delivering services, changing the way education is imparted and health is accessed and delivered.

The report further says better governance instead of larger development spending is the aim. In short, the objective in KP is on human development. The UNDP’s recent Pakistan National Human Development Report, however, tells a different story. Its human development rankings take the steam out of the engine of human development paraded by the ‘tabdeeli band’.

All over Pakistan, there are only six districts ranked as high-human development districts. Four of these districts are in Punjab and none from KP. The next category is high medium human-development districts. Four KP districts make it, but against 19 districts from Punjab, a report in a section of media says.

The report says no province of Pakistan earns the top ranking of high human development. Punjab is ranked one category below as a high medium human-development provinces. Even here the KP province as a whole lies in the lower ranking of medium human development.

The report adds two main components of human development are health and education. Punjab is leading in both. In health, the immunisation rate in Punjab is 89 per cent, higher than KP’s 78 per cent. The satisfaction with health facilities in Punjab was measured at 78 per cent, again higher than 73 per cent in KP.

Education too is a disappointment for KP. Expected years of schooling in Punjab are 10.1 compared to KP’s 9.7. There is a big difference in mean years of schooling. KP’s 3.3 years is well behind 4.6 years in Punjab, the report further says.

Winning votes in the coming elections is a lot about wooing the youth bulge in population. The UNDP report is themed around youth. It ranks regions by youth development. Youth Development Index puts K-P in the low achievers.

KP is not only behind Punjab, it falls far behind even south eastern Punjab, the report concludes.

It is really funny how people compare a stable govt with a new govt who has to clean all the crap of the previous predecessors ...

Let us analyze:

CM of Punjab:

NS under IJI (1985-1990) = 5yrs
IJI (1990-1997) = 7yrs
SS under Noon (1997 - 1999) =2yrs
Koosa and SS (2008-2009) = 2yrs
SS under Noon (2009 - current) = 9 yrs

Taking into account only Tinday brothers that is 15 yrs of monarchy!

If we take the last 9yrs under Noon - CONTINUOUSLY .... one would assume Punjab to be on the moon by now! But sadly, it is lacking confidence and comparing itself to a party that got its first shot and has only made 5 yrs!

So turjabah of 9 yrs is comparable to 5 yrs meaning something is wayyyy wrong with Punjab!

Yes its expected because N-league doesn't only build motorways as UNDP shows. HDI can be changed even in 2 years.

Not to forget the invasion that have happened in all of punjab from other provinces. Public hospitals, schools etc are filled with people from other provinces. While Khattack and Syed Shah are busy looting KP and Sindh money instead of spending on human development.

Even South punjab is ahead of KP and Sindh in UDNP report. And PPP/PTI talk about south punjab when they can't bring their own provinces on par with it.

Human Development Reports
National Human Development Report 2017: Pakistan

Country/Territory:
Pakistan
pk-nhdr_image1.jpg

The Report focuses on the youth as a critical force for shaping human development, because Pakistan currently has the largest generation of young people ever in its history, with about two-thirds of the total population under 30 years of age. This includes children under 15 who will be tomorrow's youth. While, youth cohort defined as those between 15-29 years of age, currently forms nearly a third of the country's total population. As a section of the populace that is transiting to adulthood, this ‘youth bulge' will prove to be either a dividend or a disaster for the country, depending on if Pakistan invests in youth by providing them with quality education, quality employment, and meaningful engagement opportunities. However, it is imperative to invest in the youth now, today, while they are still youth; not only to enhance the personal wellbeing of the youth but also to enhance the country’s human development.

The Report seeks to understand Pakistan’s human development challenges and opportunities from the prism of youth. It focuses on how to improve human development outcomes – by empowering young people, addressing the root causes of the obstacles they face, and by proposing innovative ways to surmount these challenges. Offering first-rate analysis and evidenced-based policy recommendations, the Report looks at three key drivers of youth empowerment: quality education, gainful employment and meaningful engagement.

Well its like 1.5 years old..... in my humble opinion not much diff would have made anyway..... PTI have performed better compared to the last GOV of KPK.... a report of 2018 will reflect the real picture / comparison with other provinces ... but for now lets accept the reality that Punjab is ahead...

Give PTI 36 years in KPI then compare actually change in five year should be considered and compared Punjab was ahead of rest of Pakistan from the known history
