Pakistan - the most urbanized country of South Asia

Study of Pakistan's population in the latest report of UN's population fund.
Pakistan is the "most urbanized" country of South Asia, because 32% rural population
already has migrated to urban areas with dreams of better future. Due to this
migration, on one side in urban settlements the serious problems of shelter,
environment and employment are re-surfacing then, on the other side urban facilities
and services are interrupting badly. These are the words said in a report of United
Nations, prepared with the collaboration with the Population fund of the international
organization. According to the report, the reason behind 24% increase in urban
population of Pakistan is not only people coming from the rural areas but apart from
that its also foreign migrants. The number of these foreigners are said to be 2 to 3
million, majority of these are Bangladeshis. Apart from these, 3 million Afghan
refugees are also present. Natural rate of increase in the population of urban areas is
consistently 2.6%, but with all this the swiftness at which population of cities are
increasing it is sensed that Pakistan's population would reach 220 million till 2020.
Whereas 33% population dwell in urban areas, that's why a growth rate of 3.5% is
noted, and clearly the speed at which the population of cities are increasing, the need
for urban facilities and services are also being required accordingly, now the situation
is that about 50% of the total population is living in houses composed of only one
room, where there's no reasonable facilities for health care, cleanliness and no
system of sanitation.
It is said in this United Nation's report that there has already been 7 times increase in
the urban population of Pakistan. In 1951 the total population of Pakistani cities were
6 million, which increased to 340 million in 1998. Unfortunately with the speedy
increase in the urban population, the basic urban facilities weren't provided with the
same speed. Due to the unchecked increase in population, illegal settlements (Kachi
aabadian, jhonpriyan) and its establishments is increasing, urban problems are
becoming more cumbersome and complex.
Those urban areas where such (Jhuggi) tent villages are formed, poverty is present
there in its worst cruel and ugly shape, where different types of social problems are
nurturing, which includes usage of drugs, increasing number of child laborers, and
also attack of AIDS and other sexual diseases.
Migration from rural areas to cities, is also destroying the environmental balance and
eco system. Emission of smoke from cars and factories, is also increasing which has
stimulated tremendous increase in air pollution. Small illegal industrial zones are
created in-between urban settlements, the smoke emitting from these, as well as the
industrial wastes are becoming very dangerous for the health of such urban
settlements.
In this report, the three basic sources of (naql makani) migration are discussed in
detail. Among these three sources, from one province to the other province, from
villages to cities and migration on international level. The migration happening from
inside the country are called for, that before the census of 1998, approximately 4
million people had migrated and among those; more than two-thirds were going into
the cities, and now they are 63% of urban population. Their total population is 5 to 6
% in the urban areas of the four provinces. As compared to the other three provinces
two or three times more people migrate from Punjab, and in Punjab from one rural
area to the other rural area, migration is seen on the rise.
Since 1950, maximum people migrating into Sindh are from Punjab and NWFP, and it
continues. 70% people migrating into Sindh doesn't belong to this province whereas
60% people have migrated between the provinces of NWFP and Punjab.
In this report the imbalanced division between the population of the provinces is also
elaborately discussed. Baluchistan, which has 44% area of the whole country, only
5% population of the whole country is residing / living on it and there only 19 people
per square kilometer live. On the other side is Punjab, whose population is 55% of
the whole country, only 1/4th of the total land came in its share.

Where's Pakistan Standing?
Where's Pakistan Standing?

From the traditional claims of development to the realities of human development
index................. A tale untold
We would become Asian tigers.......... country's foreign currency reserves exceeds

7.5 Billion......... very soon Pakistan will cut loose IMF and World Bank's
stranglehold....... our image has improved the world over............ elimination of
poverty and illiteracy is one of the priorities of the government........ Pakistan is
going to become a role model like Singapore and Malaysia...........!!!!!!!!!
These are the official claims, which are propounded day and night through the loud
speakers of the government machinery. Our eyes are accustomed with reading the
official statements coming out in the media. On the other side, an ordinary citizen
measures these claims of development through his personal scale without indulging
himself in the web of figures. But every time he sees himself more deprived and his
future darker. And he is forced to think, why are the doors of progress and prosperity
always closed for him? The country is progressing while the citizens are falling pray
to hunger and misery. Why is the word prosperity a mystery, which always hides
itself from the eyes of the poor.........?
Improving Pakistans image and economic prosperity, if seen in the international
context other than the official thinking, it becomes evident weather we are going
towards growth or downfall? To ascertain what an ordinary Pakistani has gone
through the last two or three years, in getting basic facilities like health, education,
shelter and food, is only possible when a n impartial agency measures our scale of
development and analyze it.
Recently the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has issued a report on the
member countries regarding human development index (HDI), a measure of human
development. 175 countries have been included in the list. Pakistan has been placed
at 144th position with respect to human development. The depressing aspect of this
report is that in Pakistan a common man's development rate is even less than the
development rate of many under-developing and poor countries of South Asia. It can
be understood by the fact that Maldives is placed 86th, Srilanka 99th, India 127th,
Bhutan 136th, Bangladesh 139th, and Nepal 143rd in the list. Place given to Pakistan
in this report clearly indicates the dismal situation of an ordinary Pakistani. The idea
of individual's own development, carries wide meaning in itself, under which an
individual/human is given moral, social, political and cultural rights protection and
such a calm environment is created that carries forward his abilities in positive
direction to make him a useful member of the society. The motive of United Nations
Development Program is to analyze the speed of basic necessities, human
development and prosperity provided by the countries to its citizens. So it wouldn't
be useless to say that a country's economic development and political stability is
meaningless until an ordinary man's development isn't possible. It can be said with
utmost certainty that in this report two institutions of Pakistan i.e. education and
health aren't included, if these two services were also to be analyzed then its possible
that we would have been placed much deprived/ down wards in this report as regards
individual human development.
If we take a look at the nations who rule the world today, we would see the they
gave utmost importance to individual human development. If a nation's citizens are
educated and healthy, then collective progress can never be undermined. Education,
that opens up doors of prosperity, plays a vital role in enhancing human wisdom, how
far have we given impetuous to this can be ascertained through the following facts.
According to the official statistics, the present literacy rate is 54%. (These people are
also included, who only know reading and writing) Which means half of our
population is illiterate. According to the official claims this rate will increase to 60% in
2006, whereas many poor and developing countries of the world have already
crossed this rate.
In 2000 literacy rate in Pakistan was 47.1%, which means during the last four years
we were able to increase only 6.9% literacy rate and in these four years our increase
has only been 1.62% per year, whereas on the other side our increasing population
rate has been 2.3%. Why has been our rate so slow, the main reason behind it is the
avoidance of education in the budget. Only 1.7% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
was spent from 1997-98 to 2001-02 on this issue however last year 2003-04, 9.5%
(2.5% in province) was allocated for Federal and Provincial educational side. For the
current year 2004-05 2.7% of GDP is allocated for it.
Health care, is the basic necessity of human beings. Bad situation of government
hospitals in the country is in front of us. Keeping in view the increasing population
our policy makers haven't given any attention, which was required. Scarce health
care facilities for poor and the middle class has become a big human disaster. In
bigger cities like Karachi, Lahore and various places, poor people of the vast rural
areas stay in the hospitals for months leaving behind their livelihood, amongst which
women and children in large numbers and included. Health has always been avoided;
it can be monitored through the fact that total public expenditure on health care was
32.80 Billion for the year 2003-04 which was only 0.73% of the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) and 2.96% of Federal and Provincial governments. In the current
financial year 9.90 Billion has been allocated by the Federal Government for health
care, which is only 1.09% of the gross national expenditure. If the expenditure spent
on health is compared with the defense expendeture/spendings, then; this year
defense spending have been allocated 194 Billion Rupees, which is 21.6% of the
GDP.
Money allocated for education and health clearly indicates how adequate the poor
people are served in the fields of education and health in the future Pakistani society
and what is the ordeal/situation of a common man...............!
Average age is also termed as an important aspect of United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP). Average age in Pakistan is 64 years, which is relatively less in
comparison to the other developing countries of Asia, for example in Srilanka average
age is 74 years, 73 years in Malaysia, 71 years in China and 70 years in Philippines.
In Pakistan infant mortality rate is 82 out of 1000 infants, which is termed as highest
in Asia. One thing is to be noticed that in poor countries like Bhutan and Nepal the
mortality rate is 60 and 63 respectively per 1000 infants whereas in Pakistan
mortality rate amongst children of less than five years of age is also the highest in
Asia.
In Pakistan, the dangerous increasing average of infant mortality rate and on the
other side the decreasing rate of average age for Pakistan tells us about the meager
facilities that are given by the Government in health sector and the place where an
ordinary man of our country is standing........!
Our Government Officials never get tired of propounding that the country is
progressing. On the other hand, a backward and poor citizen of the country is forced
to think what kind of progress is this, which isn't reaching the masses and how much
time would it take to reach them.
Education is such a blessing that it not only promotes/instigates wisdom in a man but
also shows the way of economic prosperity. Largely the cast exposed to the curse of
ever spreading unemployment in the country are, those who are educated but they
didn't had the chance to excel in a specialized discipline/field, due to which they
couldn't get the desired status, and as a result in the last ten years an educated
unemployed class is created in the country, who are adversely frustrated because of
no employment. Behind the increasing crime rate in Pakistan such youngsters seems
involved, who unwontedly have made crime as their professions. It can be assessed
through the data of criminals arrested in the country that amongst these the number
of educated people is much more, who have started walking on this track just for
livelihood. Increasing problems of the young people and the data of educated
youngster criminals, what kind of development is it showing? It is certainly useless to
hope for prosperous and developed Pakistan through the frustrated young lot.
Under, the Department of Statistics the Pakistan Integrated Household Service
(PIHS) in 2002-03 has compiled an interesting report about the comparison of
education in poor and rich classes, in light of which; 25% poor people are those who
are educated whereas 71% children were enrolled during 1998-99 at Primary level in
Pakistan, this number has increased to 72% during 2000-02 with only 1%
improvement. According to the survey 100% children of rich class and 56% children
belonging to poor families left school. In this regard, this year Punjab Government
has enforced compulsory admission policy in primary schools, which is a
commendable step. This report has stated that if 100% children are registered in
secondary school education then 75% of them belong to rich while 23% belong to
poor class, likewise this numeric increases to 83% rich and 17% middle and poor
students at Metric level.
It should be clarified that 28% poor children admitted at primary level are those who
leave school before reaching 6th standard. Main part played in children leaving
schools is poverty of the parents. This problem in the country is specially grave in the
rural population. Increase in children due to lack of education and wisdom, leaves the
head of the large family financially unsound so he can't provide education to all the
children that's why they are pushed into labor depriving them of education at primary
level which is left incomplete. According to a detailed survey the number of working
children in Pakistan is far more greater than the poor and developing countries, we
have laws relating to child labor but labor taking owners of various factories, hotels
and parks are joking with these laws, and degrading it.
In 2000, at the start of the new century our government in United Nations had vowed
the self esteem of an ordinary citizen and human welfare, in which impetuous on
education and reduction in poverty were declared as two basic elements, but with the
passage of time instead of decrease in the aforesaid objects it seems to be increasing
more aggressively. Problems of rural and urban population in the country, certainly
gets more different according to the resources. In a report of economic survey,
increasing rate of unemployment in the rural and urban populations are discussed,
according to that total population of Pakistan in 1995 had an unemployment rate of
5.37% which has increased to 8.7% in 2004. Unemployment rate in rural areas was
4.80% in 1995 which has increased to 7.55% in 2004, whereas the unemployment
rate in urban population was 6.90% in 1995, which has increased to the dangerous
level of 9.80% in 2004. The darkest side of the bad effect that unemployment in
brought to our country is that, young educated class of the country having not
realized their true place in the society are leaving for USA, UK, Canada and other rich
countries and the educated youngsters who couldn't go abroad, are working on the
philosophy of work wherever you get the job, and are keeping their candles burning
at home.
Poverty and human development are closely associated to each other, when poverty
increases human development would stop, and decrease in poverty would trigger
prosperity and progress. Standard of poverty in the world is one dollar income per
person per day. In our State 1/3rd population is living under adverse poverty line
where as, on the other side those countries who have much less GDP than us, the
living standard of a common man is much better then Pakistanis, Srilanka is a perfect
example where literacy rate is 95%.
Pakistan's image has improved and is improving in the comity of nation's? At what
speed Pakistan's growth rate is rising? (Shara-e-Namu). Certainly these are the
subjects which has a direct relation to our prestige and indignation, on the other side
people also think that the problems which haunt them for more than half a century,
when will they solve? The country is improving its image in the international world
and progressing though only in official files and statements but when will the
standard of living of the masses really improve? When will the class differences
disappear in providing the basic facilities like education and health care? When will
the distance reduce in reaching a Public hospital by a villager having an accident?
When will the young people get rid of the curse of unemployment? Until when will the
youngsters continue to burn their candles at home with the dark light of criminal
world, gutted by unemployment? What kind of progress is this; where the county
progresses but the citizens fall prey to move disparities.............. When will a poor
Pakistani really experience progress? When will it be........?
