According to the Pakistan Economic Survey the war had affected the country’s exports, prevented foreign investment, and slowed down the overall economic activity. The Economic Survey says, “This situation disrupted Pakistan’s normal economic and trading activities which not only resulted in higher costs of business but also created disruptions in the production cycles, resulting in significant delays in meeting the export orders around the globe. As a result, Pakistani products have gradually lost their market share to their competitors. Consequently, economic growth slowed down, demand for imports reduced with declined tax collection and introductions of foreign investment. Investment outflow and negative trends of out sourcing of capital in Pakistan have further added to the woes of dwindling performance of the export oriented industry.” The war on terrorism reduced tax collection and caused major additional security spending. It also damaged the tourism industry and destroyed military and civil infrastructure. Reports state Pakistan’s tourism industry suffered a loss of 44 million dollars. The survey revealed thousands of jobs could have been created but thousands of jobs were lost due to the destruction of tourism and the increase in funds to support displaced people

    In Pakistan, people are stricken with poverty, the economy is unstable, and there are no opportunities to fulfill one’s goals. The U.S. economy is abundant and ripe with jobs. The only attribute is that one has to go out and want a job. Pakistan is more of a follower than a leader. It essentially adopts America’s ideals, but does not attain them.

Just recently, the tourism in Puerto Rico had gone up from 7.3% of GDP to 8.4% and was expected to rise to 10.7% in 2027.

  • Shi & Singh Case Analysis

    320 Words  | 1 Pages

    According to Shi & Singh, "only 32% of physicians currently practice primary care, much below the recommended minimum of 40%...almost one-quarter of the primary care workforce are 56 or older...and less than one quarter of medical students are choosing primary care" (Shi&Singh, 2015, p.132). Obviously this is a huge issue for the future, as current primary care physicians are aging and there are not enough replacements. This would surely induce an imbalance in the medical field, leading to a further maldistribution in the health care sector. This situation further hurts both patients and hospitals, especially in rural areas where only 9% of physicians practice (Shi&Singh, 2015, p.133). An imbalance also occurs between primary and specialty

    In the past few decades, rape in Pakistan has become a serious issue. It is such a huge problem that the United States is not doing anything to help. The main reason the US is not helping is that many people do not know how serious this problem is. It is difficult to get statistics on abuse and rape from Pakistan. Since their government is very religion based, they do not always treat it as a crime. Pakistani people tend to be very religious, therefore they go along with the government and do not see rape the way we do (Ashfaq).
