Poverty in Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the HDI, 60.3% of Pakistan’s population lives on under $2 a day, compared to 75.6% in nearby India and 81.3% in nearby Bangladesh, and some 22.6% live under $1 a day, compared to 41.6% in India and 49.6% in Bangladesh

I disagree that pakistan has less potential than India. if the governance issues are solved Pakistan can be a much more viable economy compared to India which has a huge economic disparity. The number of poor living under $2 and $1 are much higher in India. While boasting the wealth of top 100 wealthiest people in India, most of my Indian friends tend to forget that number of miserably poor in in India (living below $1/day) is almost double compared to Pakistan. Indians think that around 20% middle class is the whole of India. Around 50% odd extremely poor are also a part of Indian nation..

If Japan, which is similar in geographic size to Pakistan but with almost none of natural resources can have the 3rd largest economy with only 120 Million people (approx), then why can’t Pakistan with all its natural resources, ease of trade, including with two massive markets directly on its door step, do something similar?
