GDP Growth , Unemployment, poverty, inequlity The GDP growth rate of a country Thats a combination of revenue, services, expenditure, manufacturing of final commodities. If the growth a country is rise its mean That increase in investment in a country if increase in investment then the unemployment is low and employment oppertunities is rise. There will be more income of individual, the countrys exports also rise and forigh direct investmment is rise the country.
Unemployment Unemployment occurs when a person who is actively searching for employment is unable to find work. Unemployment is often used as a measure of the health of the economy. The most frequently cited measure of unemployment is the unemployment rate. This is the number of unemployed persons divided by the number of people in the labor force. Unemployment rate can be defined by either the national definition, the ILO harmonized definition, or the OECD harmonized definition. The OECD harmonized unemployment rate gives the number of unemployed persons as a percentage of the labor force (the total number of people employed plus unemployed). As defined by the International Labor Organization, unemployed workers are those who are currently not working but are willing and able to work for pay, currently available to work, and have actively searched for work.
In Pakistan situation Unemployment rate is as follow: Years Unemployment rate (% of total labor force) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 6.87 7.82 8.27 8.27 7.69 7.69 6.2 5.325 5.202 5.46 5.55 5.95
Last 10 years the unemployment is high in 2002 and 2003 because the political instability and emergency is enforce by army. The lots of people is unemployed , the investor withdraw his money . the invest was goes thats way the unemployment is created. In That era the dictor was ruling.
Poverty As many as 45.7% of the entire population is living under the poverty line, according to a doorto-door survey carried out by Benazir Income Support Programmed (BISP). The results sharply negate the outcome of another official survey which calculated incidence of poverty at 12%. The 80 million people live below the poverty line. The survey did not include Federally Administrated Tribal Areas where it was delayed because of the security situation. BISP needs Rs106 billion next year just to feed 40 million people, currently covered in the programmed. However, the finance ministry has budgeted Rs 60 billion, which is only 56.6% of the demand. The US would soon provide $75 million under Kerry Lugar Act for the BISP. The federal government has provided Rs126 billion to the BISP in the past four years while an amount of Rs26 billion was given by the foreign lenders.
Inequlity The government has made the agriculture policies more aligned to the international practices that would help bring better distributions in incomes and provide a remedy of the situation. Secondly, he added, the government considerably enhanced the expenditure on the social safety nets that would help the poorest of the poor of the country. Growth without equality would enhance gap between haves and have-nots adding poverty cannot be alleviated without removing inequalities. Pakistan has a low share of spending on social safety nets and with the rolling out of the BISP such spending increased from 0.3 per cent of the GDP in 2003-04 to 0.9 per cent, including selected subsidies meant to assist the poor. This spending is a very low amount compared to other developing countries, points out the analysis Pakistan towards an integrated national safety net system.
The study notes that both in the private and public sector there are various social safety nets but they are inadequate and for better coordination there is a need for an umbrella organization in the private sector. The study calls for establishment of rural migration centers to process visas, work contracts, and loan arrangements for prospective external migrants. The system of migration needs to be regularized. The government may enter into agreements such as the agreement signed with Malaysia. The public expenditure crucially depends on the availability of the public revenues. Since government is withdrawing withholding taxes they must be replaced with proper income taxation so that the indirect taxes on products consumed by less well-off are withdrawn. Major sufferers of poor governance are the common masses who are denied justice and there is poor delivery of services. Poor governance results in distorted priorities, poor policy formulation and ineffective implementation with serious implications for social welfare. Three main areas of governance are civil service reforms, judicial & police reforms and devolution.
Pakistan recorded a Government Budget deficit equal to 5.50 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2011. Government Budget in Pakistan is reported by the Government of Pakistan. Historically, from 1990 until 2011, Pakistan Government Budget averaged 4.36 Percent of GDP reaching an all time high of 8.80 Percent of GDP in December of 1990 and a record low of -6.30 Percent of GDP in December of 2010. Government Budget is an itemized accounting of the payments received by government (taxes and other fees) and the payments made by government (purchases and transfer payments). A budget deficit occurs when a government spends more money than it takes in.

Size and Trends in Current Deficit The current account deficit stood at $ 3,394 million during July-April 2011-12.This deficit in the current account was largely caused by the widening of trade and services account deficit.
However, continued support from current transfers in the form of workers remittances helped in containing further increase in the current account deficit during the period under review. The trade deficit expanded mainly due to the 14.5 percent growth in imports and the 0.1 percent increase in exports; thereby widening the trade deficit by 49.2 percent during the period. The major factor behind the widening of the trade deficit was the sharp rise in the import bill during July-April 2011-12 which increased due to the higher international prices of crude oil
Pakistans monetary policy aims at stabilizing economic growth through a number of channels. It influences the future expectations of economic activity and inflation. A sound fiscal position is important for achieving macroeconomic stability. This occurs through efficient resource allocation and the mobilization of domestic savings. Because of this, the central bank through its monetary policy and strategies plays an influential role. The global financial crisis that erupted in late 2007 not only produced the severe worldwide economic contraction, it has also hampered the ability of central banks to successfully manage the economy. In reaction to the crisis, markets of developed economies responded in a variety of ways, such as creating measures aimed at specific sectors, as well as more general stimulus packages aimed at keeping financial institutions buoyant. On the other hand, economic activity in emerging and developing economies remained relatively vigorous on account of strong internal demand. The global economic activity rebounded in 2010 on the back of better macroeconomic performance and continued accommodative macroeconomic policies. Unfortunately,
performance slowed later in the year because countries with large public and private debt burdens faced serious problems accessing sovereign debt markets. Consequently, heightened concerns about long term debt sustainability in various parts of the world have posed additional risks, not only to financial stability, but also for the ability to access safe assets.
