Human development Index of Pakistan By Districts

[Raheel Khan_1]

Has anyone seen this?

This is from 2005. Couldn't find the latest one.

Islamabad is the most developed with a very high HDI of 0.8 -1 , Followed by Lahore and Karachi. Punjab seems to be the most developed while balochistan is the least developed.

Human Development Index: Pakistan remains stagnant at 146

By Ismail Sheikh
Published: July 24, 2014

Pakistan continued its dismal performance in the field of human development as it failed to improve its position on the Human Development Index (HDI) over the past five years.

According to the 2014 Human Development Report “Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience,” published on Thursday by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Pakistan remained among the group countries with low human development as it remained on same position as of last year, showing little sign of improvement.

Pakistan, which was ranked at 146 out of a total 187 countries on the index, scored 0.537 points on HDI, showed improvement of mere 0.002 points from last year’s score of 0.535.

The country showed some improvement in life expectancy at birth as it improved by 0.9 in 2013 to 66.6 from 65.7 in 2012.

On the gender inequality index, Pakistan slipped four spots to 127 from last year’s ranking of 123 as it scored 0.563 on the index as opposed to 0.567.

But Pakistan was part of a dismal overall human development situation in South Asia. While Bangladesh and India both showed some signs of improvement, the likes of Afghanistan worse off.
Bangladesh, which was last year at par with Pakistan on 146, has moved to 142 this year. India, which was on 136 last year, has moved one rank up to 135. Nepal is ranked at 145 while Afghanistan at 169.

The report added that 52 per cent of Pakistanis live in poverty. The HDI’s Multidimensional Poverty Index — an alternative to income-based poverty estimates — shows that the proportion of population living under the multidimensional poverty in Pakistan has increased by almost three per cent in one year.

Meanwhile, people living under multidimensional poverty rate in neighbouring Bangladesh and India has reduced to 47.8 and 51.1 per cent from last year’s count of 57.8 and 53.7 respectively.

was talking about the latest HDI by districts in Pakistan.

 

[Nilgiri]

was talking about the latest HDI by districts in Pakistan.

If its from 2005, that means the HDI numbers were from the old system and so cannot be directly compared with any numbers today.

The trends would probably remain the same one would think.

 

[NP-complete]

A Pakistan and an indian came up with HDI as a way of measuring how developed a person is. Development here means the way in which Aristotle was more developed than a slave of his time. Or how Europeans dominated other nations because their individuals were more developed. But this thing is hard to measure. The most developed people in Pakistan are south Punjabis but this index has different scores. A more developed person can understand bigger things and master more advanced skills, that's how south Punjabis are compared to the rest of Pakistanis.

They skipped out the best areas. G-B and AJK have very high literacy rate. The entire regions of the 2 provinces is probably green or dark green.

my great grandfather (or his father, i keep forgetting) was a kashmiri who was a hindu convert to islam. his daughter was apparently one of the first educated women of that area wherever he belonged. he wrote a book, got a victoria cross, and travelled across south asia among other things. but thats irrelevant since we've been in karachi for 3 generations now.

So are you denying that you ever said the following (emphasis on the bold part) ?

They skipped out the best areas. G-B and AJK have very high literacy rate. The entire regions of the 2 provinces is probably green or dark green.

-they skipped the best areas and not some of the best (according to you) areas.
-high literacy rate is okay, but they've got very high literacy rates ?
-not just green, dark green ?

AJK is very much relevant to you sir. The bias is clearly visible. And I've seen it in other posts of you as well. But this was just way too obvious.

Yeah you've been journalist-ed !

(don't get offended)

Literacy is only a part of HDI, Senitation, health and transport Infrastructure, income levels all contribute to determine the HDI.

no im not denying saying that. im just denying that i said it out of bias since im not in the slightest related to kashmir (though my family once was). I identify completely as a maila Karachiite :p the reason i praise g-b and ajk are because they're among the most peaceful, modern communities with great emphasis on education, as compared to elsewhere in Pakistan. there is no bias since neither am i kashmiri nor are any of my relatives anymore.
you a kashmiri journalist?
