Conclusion

Through all of my research and work done on Pakistan, I have found the enormous potential for Pakistan's economy.  Currently, Pakistan has the world's 7th biggest population and 28th in the world in GDP.  Pakistan is a more rural country it should be with most of its labor force being devoted to agriculture (43%).  Pakistan is trying to urbanize but is doing so at a very slow rate.  One of the biggest problem is about 30% of the workforce is coming from children 14 and younger.  With kids having to work at such a young age that they are not getting the proper education with only a 7 year education expectancy.  With most of the country's labor being agriculture, it is not even being done efficiently, since a lot of the farmers are not very well educated so that they do not know how to use the technology available to farm more efficiently and cannot afford to learn.  When Pakistan can better solve this problem and the people be used more efficiently in other lines of work Pakistan can become a major world power.  As of right now, Pakistan has struggled recently with the recent drought killing a lot of the corn crop and causing them to have to import more corn since they cannot produce enough.  Also the military conflict on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border has caused unrest in that part of the country and forced some people to move from their homes.  Even after all of this, Pakistan has all of the potential for a promising future.
