Pray for me reader

Economic Obstacles

Economic Obstacles 1
Deficiency of Capital and Foreign Exchange
There is scarcity of capital and foreign exchange in Pakistan
Lack of capital and foreign exchange are a big hurdle in way of economic development
Per capita income is very low i.e., $ 1095
Foreign exchange reserves of Pakistan are just $ 13.0 billion.

Economic Obstacles 2
Backward Natural Resources:Developing countries including
Pakistan have rich and many resources. But due to backward state of technology these resources are un-utilized under-utilized or miss-utilized
Share of natural resources to GDP is less than 1 %.

Economic Obstacles 3
Backward State Technology:Use of backward technology is
another problem of economic development
Due to use of backward technology productivity level of our labor and its efficiency is very low
Productive quality and quantity is also inferior due to use of old means of production

Economic Obstacles 4
InflationThe year-on-year CPI inflation has declined
to 2.1 percent in April 2015 from 8.2 percent in June 2014 (source monitory policy of May)
Government should maintain this inflation rate other wise Inflation decreases purchasing power of people their consumption increases and saving decreases. Low saving leads to less investment and a country remains poor and backward.

Economic Obstacles 5
Dependence on Agriculture 68% population is living in 46,894
villages. Their main occupation is agriculture that is at backward stage.
Old methods of cultivation, less credit facilities, unorganized markets and limited irrigation facilities are factors, which are hurdle in the process of economic development

Social obstacles

Social obstacles 1
Illiteracy Only 63 %(est 2012) population is
literate in Pakistan. Due to illiteracy our farmer and industrialists are ignorant
Efficiency and productivity level of our labour is poor due to illiteracy
Use of modern techniques of production is impossible due to illiteracy.
11
Social obstacles 2
Low Standard of Living Our population is backward and its
growth rate is as high as 4.04 % (est 2014)
Poor population is not provided appropriate facilities to make high standard of life
Low level of living, low income, inadequate housing facilities, poor health etc. are some of important social obsticles.
12
Social obstacles 3
Joint Family and Caste system Joint family system is also one of the
main obstacles in the way of economic development
In joint family system all the members of the family do not work. They depend upon one another
Similarly, due to caste system rich and superior class do not work hard.
13
Social obstacles 4
Consumption Oriented SocietyMost of the population of Pakistan is
consumption oriented. People have to make huge consumptions due to demonstration effect
Due to Superiority locality, friends and relatives people have to adjust their consumption styles. Consumption of people is very high due to fulfillment of customs, traditions and habits.
14
Social obstacles 5
Under developed Human resource Labor force is illiterate & unskilled Not up to mark for physical health.
Short Comings in Technology According to latest Research 6% to 5%
population is dependent upon agriculture We have outdated methods for agriculture. Although there is advance machinery out there. Due to this Lack of export and more import due
to this losing our foreign exchange.
15
Social obstacles 6
Severe shortage of Medical facilities.According to latest statistics of 2009
Facilities Statistics
Doctors (2009) 139,555
Dentists (2009) 9,822
Nurses (2009) 69,313
Health visitors (2009) 10,731

Social obstacles 7
In united states alone there are 17000 doctors of Pakistan’s origin.
Many Pakistan’s doctors are choosing to migrate to other countries due to whichShortage of highly qualified doctors
17
Social obstacles 9
We can clearly observe that our Medical facilities are inadequate to handle this much population.
Family planning is not as efficient as it suppose to.
Increase in population is result in increasing in Children hence they are consumer only not a contributor to Pakistan's economy.

CULTURAL OBSTACLES
21
Cultural obstacles 1
Customs and Traditionspeople spend huge portion of their
incomes on customs and traditions Sometimes they have to take part in
the arrangements of rural festivals that reduce their savings
People have to spend more on marriage, birth and other local festivals in our country.
22
Cultural obstacles 2
Low Participation of WomenAlmost 49 % population is female in
Pakistan and out of them only 20 % takes an active part in economic activities
little participation of women in economic activity that is also an obstacle in the way of economic development.
23
Cultural obstacles 3
In-efficient EntrepreneurDue to illiteracy and lack of training
institution in our country entrepreneur is in-efficient
In-efficient entrepreneur is a cause of economic backwardness. Illiterate entrepreneur cannot maintain the proper record of his business to earn maximum profit
24
POLITICAL OBSTACLES
25
Political instability 1
Political instabilityInstable political conditions
No unity among political parties
Political riots, dharna’s caused a decreased in stock exchange our trade hence decrease in dollar price.
26
Political instability 2
Mis-use of AuthoritiesMis-use of authorities and powers is
a big problem in the way of economic development
Mis-use of authority leads to corruption and favoritism
there is no regard for talented, intelligent and brilliant brain.
27
Political instability 3
Insincere LeadersPolitics in Pakistan creates insincere
leaders
Political leaders have no interest with the welfare of population but their own interest
The Feudal involve in politics for the sake of status and power
28
ADMINISTRATIVE OBSTACLES
29
Administrative obstacles 1
Corruption In developing countries most of the
officers are included in the curse of corruption (i.e case of Exact company)
hey have to make corruption due to any big administrative or political pressure.
30
Administrative obstacles 2 Favoritism and Nepotism Nepotism means selection according to
relationship, not according to ability In developing countries like Pakistan,
there is favoritism and nepotism
Which is causing economic backwardness. Preferences are given to the friends and relatives for the jobs.
31
Administrative obstacles 3 Lengthy Legal Process In developing countries law and order
and legal process is very lengthy and costy
To obtain social justice, people have to waste their income and time
People have to depend upon the mood of the officer for their work in Pakistan
32
Administrative obstacles 4 Mis-use of Authorities In our country, use of authorities is
not reasonable. Officers use their powers for their personal interest
They give first preference to their own benefits and second preference to the public welfare.(again example of EXACT)
33
Administrative obstacles 5 Law and Order Improper situation of law and order is
also a problem in the way of economic development
Law and order conditions are not satisfactory in case of Pakistan
Hope that current government will focus on them and rectify them.
