Re: World Bank: Pakistan Risks Crisis
CM, Saieem,
One other thing I have been thinking about when it comes to the subject of well being of people and the role of inputs.
We cannot always and in fact, in a increasing number of cases, conclude that increasing investments and expenses in some areas necessarily mean better outcome.
Just because US spends billions more now than 10 years ago in health care doesn't mean, the poorest strata gets better health care now.
Or just because India and Pakistan hire 1M more workers in the government that the services improve.
That is why measures of end result (such as the HDI) make more sense for this discussion than single dimension input numbers such as GDP, FDI etc.
Under that, we all have a looooong way to go
