7.5 % annual growth in India = 70% of total GDP of Pakistan !!

@legbreakgoogly

Only the top table is 2001/-2 data. The latter 2 tables are from the 2005 report.

The % below NATIONAL poverty estimats is old. Below $2/$1/day data is correct.

This is very old data -
1990-2003.

Re: 7.5 % annual growth in India = 70% of total GDP of Pakistan !!

Read the references for the 2nd 2 tables. Clearly says "From UNHD Report 2005".

Very acceptable data, mate.

Brother, on the top of 2nd table it says - "Data refer to the most recent year available during the period 1990-2003."
I think the references mean that the Report was made in 2005, with the data from 1990-2003.

UNDR 05 is as acceptable data as we are going to get. Those entries not from 05 are acknowledged, but its few.

@narayan

Captain1, you have shown wisdom before in your arguments and understanding of the others point of view, I expect the same wisdom here. The poverty has reduced from 36% to 25% in last decade or so. I think its a pretty good achievent. Now if the poverty in Pakistan has also reduced, some some percentage (less than India or more than India deos not matter) then it is on the right path. Thats all I can say.

I agree that whatever % of poverty is reduced on any side of fence is good, I only wanted to say if Pakistan is reducing poverty faster than India then India should learn from Pakistan and vice versa.

Those ar the UN figures I believe? and probably the reason so many India’s are so very hot under the collar these days leading them to post pathetic threads like this. When trying to compare themselves with Pakistan they forget to mention that India’s population is 7 times bigger than ours!, and they should be making proportional comparisons like the UN have above.

India’s popluation count is no less than 570.7777777% ahead of Pakistan’s. Well done India. :k: :k: :k: :k: :k: :k:

@legbreakgoogly

Also one must not forget to compare nations with those of a comparable size, for Pakistan that is nations of 150-200 million people, not a state with 1.2 bn people.

Well actually, India's population is more like 1.02 bn and not 1.2 bn. The difference between .02 bn and .2 billion is the population of Pakistan.

I guess all South Asian nations are striving to alleviate poverty stricken people and like no one is better or worse than the other.

**World Bank validates Pakistan’s poverty estimates **

WASHINGTON, June 23 (APP): The World Bank has validated the Government
of Pakistan’s official poverty estimates as recently published in the
Pakistan Economic Survey, 2005-06, says a WB statement issued Thursday.
“The Government has maintained consistency with past measures using the
same poverty line and inflation indices as used for the 2000-01
estimates,” the Bank statement said. Using this same methodology, it
added, “the latest Government estimates show poverty to have fallen
from 34.4% to 24%.” “Several international agencies, including the
World Bank have validated this result independently.” "It is clear that
poverty has indeed fallen sharply between 2000-01 and 2004-05.

Now please go away and let me have a little luff for the day…

I think you have difficulty to comprehend.I’ll make it easier for you.
It said the estimates and methodology had been endorsed by development partners, like the WB**, the DFID of the United Kingdom, the Asian Development Bank and UNDP’s expert Prof Nanak Kakwani.**

The World Bank Country Director for Pakistan John Wall told Dawn that his institution had no hesitation to endorse the numbers arrived at by the CRPRID to avoid confusion and it had adopted the government’s definition of poverty line.

Re: 7.5 % annual growth in India = 70% of total GDP of Pakistan !!

Yes India has a lot to do, and it is doing so, going in the right direction. The growth prospects of India a far more positive than most other developing economies.
Its good that Pakistan has also done good. I am really happy for my pakistani brothers and sisters.

The article below shows that India (and also Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) is going in the positive direction.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5116596.stm?ls
In 1996, India had a per capita income of $380, Pakistan $480, Bangladesh $260 and Sri Lanka $740.
Compare these with the figures in the latest WDI (which pertain to 2004).
India’s per capita income has risen to $620 and has overtaken Pakistan’s $600; and the relative gap with Sri Lanka, which now has a per capita income of $1010, has narrowed. Bangladesh which currently has a per capita income of $440 has grown reasonably well and so has lost out with India more marginally.

The latest report is by (WDI) World Development Index please refer to that… Besides CIA is not geared to crunch economic data thats not their filed of expertise.

Equally surprising is that 35% of India’s population lives on less than $1 a day, which is comparable to Bangladesh’s 36% and much worse than Pakistan’s 17% and Sri Lanka’s 6%.

Population of India = 1100 million = 36% living in poverty = 396 million
Population of Pakistan = 166 million = 17% living in poverty = 28 million.

So if we must use the Indian method of counting i.e. not basing their comparisons on proportionate share (like the rest of the world), but raw numbers instead then:-

India’s poverty count is no less than 1317.7777777% ahead of Pakistan’s. Again - well done India huh? :k: :k: :k: :k: :k: :k: :k:

@Reza Pahlavi

Population of India = 1100 million = 36% living in poverty = 396 million Population of Pakistan = 166 million = 17% living in poverty = 28 million.

There are 2 ways to reduce % people below poverty line -
1. Make the standard of living of the people better.
2. Reduce the standard of calculating the figure.
If 17% is the new figure then I would say Pakistan is employing 2nd method.

For India the figure is 26%.

Re: 7.5 % annual growth in India = 70% of total GDP of Pakistan !!

Those figures are from the WDI 2006, nothing to do with govt of Pakistan.

After all that growth still 35 percent on 1 dollar a day while only 17 percent in Pak.... yeah, pal that is growth alright..... keep it going you are crowing for last 15 years and nothing is gona change...

Why would Pakistan be competing with India economically… A ten year has nough insight to know the futility of competing economically, so no need to pat yourself on the back…

Re: 7.5 % annual growth in India = 70% of total GDP of Pakistan !!

unless the military & political animosity between I & P are resolved, economic comparisons are of little value (other than saying I is better than P and getting some Pakistanis angry).

And the m&p animosity will not be resolved until the cross border terrorism sponsorship is terminated

and cbt will not be terminated until military rules Pakistan

military rule in Pakistan will not be terminated until musharaf retires
