Comment by Riaz Haq on October 31, 2024 at 8:47pm: Pakistan’s Top Talent Is Leaving the Country in Record Numbers

Economic hardship has pushed skilled workers to move abroad, hollowing out banks, hospitals and multinational companies.

So he left his highly coveted government job and moved back to North America — to buy time and complete another advanced degree.

World Bank: Pakistan is 88% Urbanized

The World Bank researchers have recently concluded that 88 per cent live in urban areas. Their conclusion is based on satellite imagery and the Degree of Urbanization (DoU) methodology. The official Pakistani figures released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) put the current level of urbanization at 39%. The source of this massive discrepancy is the government's reliance on administrative boundaries rather than population density and settlement patterns, according to the World Bank…
