Abstract

Pakistan has lagged behind other developing countries of comparable income levels in its social indicators. Had it achieved the literacy rate of Sri Lanka and the health status of Thailand, the country's per capital income would quite conceivably have been at least twice the current level and the incidence of poverty much lower than what is prevalent today. So while we have, therefore, missed the boat, it is still not too late to regain lost grounds.
