Where is pak with 200 million people, Why Pak/India/china graduates are not innovative??

[Shah01]

You can be innovative or original only if you're willing to take risks. Nine out of ten, a person is not going to take a risk is if there is no cushion of stability for them to land on.
Innovation and financial stability go hand in hand. People in the developing and up and coming economic nations, for the most part, tend to play it safe when it comes to their career choices or any business risks, leaving very little room for innovation."

In Asia basic needs are not fulfilled for everybody so our time goes mostly for that.

Agree with you guys.

Pretty statistics and charts do not tell the whole story....Ask a poor person about innovation who does not have enough to feed himself and/or his family. And that maybe true for most of those 200 million people. Maybe there would be 10% who would have enough for their basic needs and some saved up.
The next question would be the literacy rates. There is no comparison with a nation having a 95% plus literacy rate and a nation with a 60% literacy rate (where quality of education is also bad). For comparison UK spends almost £90-100 billion on education yearly (catering about 64 million people) and Pakistan only spends about £0.65 billion on education yearly (catering about 200 million people). This difference in investment alone will make up the vast difference in innovation.

Stability and security. A stable political system with security brings in investment and SMEs flourish which are the backbone of innovation. Developed countries have this but some developing countries lack this together with protectionism.

Priorities, We have different issues to discuss like poverty, jobs and corruption. Thinking about how to make a car fly is way out of reach.

yep it's true Pakistan is seriously lagging behind hopefully we will improve in time but remember we were born in 1947 so are still a baby compared to most western countries also our literacy rate is barely 60% and a huge chunk of that are children or very young people who have not come of age yet. We will get there slowly-I do admire Israel for this though .

Not so much for Pakistanis.

When is the last time you visited pakistan ?

LOL! SG is small but doesn't mean that we are not innovative. We went from a fishing town to a developed country very fast and that to without "OIL".

But SG has major issues. One of them is why do white people doing the same job as everyone else get paid more? It seems that every non white is considered to be second class citizen.

You will find that is the case but than again you are probably someone who has never worked there, just randomly commenting because I hit a nerve with you.

Multi-factorial and one of them are the people themselves. Some people's have a more creative talent than others. Must have a genetic component.

We are facing brain drain. Highly educated and researchers often leave country and adopt citizenship of other countries
