Poverty

Uneducated population unattractive to foreign  business Difficult to recruit foreign businesses Only 38 million of 142 million make up work force 7% unemployment, but 34% of people in poverty No foreign investment Pakistan remains poor

Deeply linked to the massive debt and poorly educated people, is the large portion of Pakistan's population that lives in poverty. With an average of 2,000 dollars of GDP per person (adjusted for purchasing power parity), the average citizen is forced to live off very limited resources. This is reflected in the fact that 34% of the population lives below the poverty line, despite a mere 7% unemployment.  Pakistan's lack of fiscal resources is yet another barrier against foreign investment.  Without foreign investment, Pakistan lacks the resources to bring about positive economic development.  Without positive economic development, Pakistan is unable to attract foreign investors.  Without foreign investors... you get the point.
