WA

Are you planning to set up an NGO in Pakistan?

Anyways Pakistan is the 26th largest economy in the world in terms of purchasing power, and the 47th largest in absolute dollar terms

a) divide 160 million by 5 or 6

b & c) - atleast 35 million

Pakistan has a 35 million strong middle class. In addition, we have a growing upper & upper middle class, estimated at 6.8 million in 2002 and projected to grow to 17 million people by the year 2010, with relatively high per capita incomes

d) - The 24% population below poverty line. Poverty levels have decreased by 10% since 2001

All these figures mean little when you read something as depressing as this

Do your own damn homework.

If you don't have any valuable input, I'd appreciate it if you kept your mouth shut. No wonder you're in GBay.

Re: The real Pakistani economy?

Seems like you wanna prove some point by asking this otherwise how would we know: "In your opinion, out of every 10 males in Pakistan, if a family emergency rose or something similar and they needed $500 (PKR 40,000), how many would have immediate access to it."

Lets here the real reason for the post. Don't be shy. We can handle it.
