Easiest method to understand the Economy

IF you want to know about economy, you should familiarize the term GDP(Gross domestic product)

What is GDP?

Gross domestic product or GDP is the market value of all goods(e.g Cars , bikes, houses, grocery, in short, all tangible items) or services(e.g Doctors, Engineers,  Lawyers, Your barber etc) produced in a country within a certain period like in one year

GDP of Pakistan in year 2016-2017 was $304.95 billion (which means market value of all goods and services produced in Pakistan in 2017 was $304.95 billion or $304950000000

GDP of Pakistan in year 2015-2016 was $288.65 billion

GDP per capita:

GDP per capita means average income of a single person 

It can be calculated as

                                             GDP  in certain period (like in a year)

  GDP  per capita              =  ______________________________ 

                                              Population in certain period

 GDP of Pakistan in 2016-2017 was $304950000000

Population of Pakistan in 2017  was   197015955

                                    

                                    $ 304950000000

  GDP per capita     = __________________    =   $ 1547.8 this is the per capita income in Pakistan 

 

                                     197015955

This is simply understandable that the country with higher GDP per capita is more prosperous but the country with high GDP has large economy in world ranking. Pakistan has $304 billion and America has $19.2 trillion  .

America has almost $ 59000 GDP per capita which is too much higher than Pakistan.

I am sure that you can understand the economy by reading this but let me clear one more thing

GDP growth rate:

GDP growth rate is calculated as          Present GDP - Previous year GDP

                                                               ___________________________     * 100

                                                                

                                                                          Previous year GDP

                                                              GDP in 2016-2017   -  GDP in 2015-2016    

    GDP growth   rate                 =           __________________________________    * 100

                                      

                                                                        GDP in 2015-2016

                                                   

                                                     =         $304950000000 - $288650000000

                                                                ___________________________       * 100

                                                                        

                                                                             $278650000000

                                                     =              5.64 %

Difference between BC and AD, What is hijri year?

BC and AD

BC:

BC means Before Christ, It simply means before the birth of Hazrat Essa( AS)/ Jesus which is approximately 2000 years.

AD:

AD means Anno Domini, some people think it means after death but no, it simply means anno Domini means in the year of  Lord/ after the birth of Jesus as per Christians think.

As BC is almost 2000 years, 500 AD means 500 years after 2000 years.

Hijri years:

Hijri years are the years in the lunar Islamic calendar. It is calculated after our beloved Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (SAW) has done migration/Hijrat from Makkah to Madina. In 622 AD, our beloved Prophet has done migration , 624 AD means 2 hijri year.

Imran Khan's first announcement

Imran Khan has announced that the government will make a task force to bring laundered money back to Pakistan

I appreciate the decision of Imran Khan, the debt on Pakistan is increasing day by day which leads to very poor economic condition of Pakistan and which can also  put bad impact on our sovereignty.

Corruption has damaged our good will.

There is a great need to bring anti corruption policies at higher level and control the corruption from grass root level. Transparency international has calculated that Pakistan has lost Rs 8.5 trillion from corruption, tax evasion and bad governance.

I appeal to Mr Imran Khan to not only control corruption but also save government resources and money through promoting simplicity, because in the recent past, I have seen a too much wastage of government resources which ultimately lead to poverty.

Just think for Pakistan

Water Crisis in Pakistan

Water is the most important thing in our life and no life is possible without water but sadly for some reasons, Pakistan is running dry.

United Nation development programme (UNDP) and Pakistan council of research in water reservoir (PCRWR) reported that, Pakistan could run dry by 2025.

(PCRWR) has reported in 2016 that Pakistan has crossed the "water stressed line" in 1990 and "water scarcity line" in 2005 but despite two big dams Mangla and Tarbela which were made by Ayub Khan, no government has done enough for meet the requirement of water that we need today, as the population of Pakistan increases at a rate of 1.9% per annum, so the demand for water also increasing.

What is done has done and can not be change, so, we  have to look for the future and has to do something to overcome water crisis. Our ground water table is constantly decreasing and we don't  have enough dams to store water. As you know Dam is the costliest project and these kind of projects can not be made with donations but Chief Justice of Pakistan has take initiative to make two Dams Diamer Bhasha and Muhammadan with donations.

Supreme Court opens an account in State bank for this purpose and given account number on various sites, Please ensure your participation in dam's donation , If you don't have enough resources then, just send the message to 8000 by writing dam in it and Rs 10 will be donated, any person who own a mobile phone can afford this much donation. Remember, that miner donation can make a  huge difference at the end.

This is all I have to say,

Just think for Pakistan,

Thanks

Imran Khan is elected as a prime minister of Pakistan

Today was a  big day for Pakistan because elections to become prime minister was held in Parliament.
Mr. Imran Khan founder of PTI secure 176 votes from members of national assembly.
Mr. Shahbaz Sharif  President of PML-N secure 96 votes from members of national assembly.

I congratulate Mr. Imran Khan to become a prime minister of Pakistan. In his leadership, Pakistan has won the only 50 overs world cup in 1992. His mother Shaukat Khanum had a cancer due to which he was determined to made a cancer hospital which can give free medical treatment to poor. After too much hard work and determination, In 1994 Shaukat Khanum hospital came into existence in Lahore with public donations.

In 1996, he made Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) and contest election in 1997 from two seats and he loose  both of  seats, whoever think of a person who can not get  any seat in 1997 become the prime minister of Pakistan in 2018, this is all about his hard work, determination and consistency which at last pays him off.

I acknowledge his determination but at the same time I appeal him to deliver as he promised his countrymen to deliver. we have so many issues like :

Health;
Education;
Water Crisis;
Energy crisis;
Economic issue;
Unemployment etc

He has to do a lot to solve these issues. I appeal him to invest on human development rather than development projects as he promised  public.
Please just think for a Pakistan,

Thanks

Uneployment in Pakistan

Unemployment in Pakistan is an other big issue which I want to discuss with you. It is one of most serious issues which we are facing. The population of Pakistan is increasing at the rate of 1.9% per annum , this means more than one million people enter the job market every year, so, with the increase in population unemployment also increases.

Average unemployment rate for year 1985-2016  = 5.47%

Lowest unemployment rate in year   1987             = 3.10%

Highest unemployment rate in year   2002            = 7.80% 

Causes of unemployment :

1) Population Growth;

2) Poor Education System;

3) Energy Crisis;

4) Lack of merit system;

5) Lack of investor's interest towards investment in Pakistan

6) Bad Government policies.

Unemployment cause a serious threat to economic growth.

I appeal to government , please change policies towards unemployment because I have seen various projects doing by Chinese companies, these companies just came with their own staff and they don't want to hire our staff for big posts which causes unemployment in our country.

As I am a Civil Engineer, I do face difficulty in getting a job related to Civil Engineering, then think about the people "who do not have technical education"?

There is a lot of saturation in almost every department. I request to Government to create jobs for better living standards of our people.

Human development and living standards of our people should be main priority of our government.

Thanks

Illiteracy in Pakistan

Literacy:

Literacy in Pakistan means "person who is capable of  reading simple text from  news paper or magazine in any language and do simple mathematical calculations such as subtraction, addition etc is considered as literate.

Literacy rate of Pakistan is 58% which is alarming in which half of the men are illiterate and two third of the women never had the opportunity to go to school. Most of the Governments did not give priority to education and they always allocate less budget to education as compared to other sectors.

Let us compare Pakistan's education budget and development budget of Punjab :

 Pr-Primary, Primary and Secondary Education Affairs Budget for FY 2018-19:

1) Government has set aside Rs10.12 billion for pr-primary and primary education affairs.

2) Rs 12.4 billion for secondary education affairs.

3) Rs 71.2 billion for territory education affair

Punjab budget for development for fiscal year 2017-18:

Rs 635 billion is allocated for annual development program for Punjab.

As you see, our governments are focusing more on development programs rather than education.

Our country is a developing country not a developed country so we need to invest on human development and not on big projects. 

Most of the schools in rural areas have very low standards, we don't need to make new schools, just bring existing schools up to the mark because our future depends on "how much we invest on human development"?

We need to understand that only literate society can understand the social challenges and bring the change in our country.

Some thing to worry about

My name is Saif Ali I am basically a Civil Engineer and as a true Pakistani, from childhood I wanted a change in my country but  as I grow up, I suddenly realize change will never come as we are thinking.

     First of all let us understand"What is change"?

A change is the process through which something becomes different, it will  not come through better government, instead it will come when people tends to change themselves.

I want to share some of my experiences with you, I visited several place where free food is provided to poor and people were fighting for the food, I really feels bad for these people, this is not the case I want to discuss because these people didn't get any opportunities in life as they never have opportunity to educate themselves and when any opportunity comes in their way, they want to grab  through any means.

But I suddenly confuse when I visited the functions related to Engineers and Medical doctors, the same situations were in their functions, they just wanted the food through any means and left their education behind, so, What is the difference?

If the people in our society don't want to change themselves, How can we expect change from others?

The famous proverb is:

         "The leaders will be same as the people in their leaderships are"

Most of the educated people in our society are very uneducated because the only difference between educated and uneducated person is his Character, if he don't have good character, he is not an educated person.

Just focus on things which you can control easily and change your mentality and world will automatically be change for you.
