Introduction

Today Pakistan is facing a lot of problems but some are very common in our society which are destroying our society.

Some major problems are following

IlliteracyEnergy CrisisHealth IssuesEconomy CrisisOver Population

TerrorismInternational

Illiteracy

Education is the right of every men and women.

But in Pakistan half of its population is illiterate.

Even for those who are termed as “Literate” are only able to read and write, which in today’s technology oriented world is still considered as illiteracy.

Energy Crisis

Electricity is the major Problem Pakistan facing today.

The main problem with Pakistan’s poor power generation is the rising demands for power and lack of efficiency.

Health Issues

According to Ministry of Health, there are 127,859 doctors and 12,804 health facilities in the country to accommodate for over 170 million people.

Many Pakistani doctors and medical professionals migrate to other countries, Pakistan is the fourth highest source of International medical graduate doctors in the United States of America.

There are good government hospitals which are low-cost but offer only basic medical treatment, and private hospitals provide expensive medical facilities.

Economy Crisis

Due to internal political disputes and low levels of foreign investment have led to slow growth and underdevelopment in Pakistan.

The economic condition of Pakistan is going down and down.

Over Population

The total population in Pakistan was last recorded at 188.2 million people in 2014 from 45.9 million in 1960, changing 310 percent during the last 50 years which is very alarming.

Terrorism in Pakistan has become a main and greatly harsh phenomenon in recent years. The whole world looks at Pakistan as a land of terrorists.

Pakistan has suffered losses of 80 billion dollars, 50,000 lives and more than 28,561 people sustained injuries in several blasts in the war on terrorism over the last 10 years.

Terrorism

International Influence

The use of unmanned drones to carry out missile attacks against suspected terrorists is a clear violation of international law and directly violates the sovereignty of Pakistan.

With every strike made estimates are that 50 innocent civilians are also either killed or injured, including women and children.

Corruption

Pakistan has been ranked as 126 out of 175 countries in Transparency International’s (TI) yearly assessment of corruption Perception Index (CPI) .

Pakistan is 50th most corrupt country in the world.

Poverty

According to an analysis conducted by the government of Pakistan the poverty has increased roughly from 30% to 40% during the past decade.

Consider 40%of a country’s population is earning their life below the poverty-line.

Every third Pakistani is living his life below the poverty line.

Baluchistan which is considered as the land of mineral is facing a serious issue of poverty, 52 % of total population in Baluchistan living below the poverty line, 33 % of Sindh population are living below the poverty line followed by KPK having 32 % ratio.

Punjab which is considered as the urban area also having 19 % population which are living below the poverty line.
