There is a high level of anxiety among Pakistani youth due to issues happening around the world, in the country, and in their personal lives. They are most concerned about the state of the economy, unemployment, costs of living and healthcare. Over 80% say the recession has impacted them personally. While anxious about the present, many are also pessimistic about the future economic conditions. This is largely attributed to a lack of confidence in the current government and its ability to improve the situation. Pakistani youth are heavily engaged with technology and own multiple electronic devices, though they see distraction as a form of entertainment rather than participation.

MDC and LDC Populations Worksheet
Demography is the statistical study of human populations, especially with reference to size, density, distribution, and vital statistics (relating to births, deaths, marriages, health and disease, etc). In making population projections for different countries, demographers look at the profile of the countries’ residents. They ask: What are the ages of the people? How many are men? How many are women? Using this information, they construct “population pyramids” (a.k.a. age histograms) like the ones the class will use in this activity. These graphs illustrate the configuration of a country’s population as shaped by 70 to 80 years of economic, political and natural events.
Procedure:
You will find information about the populations of two countries; the United States and one other country picked from a list on the last page.

The document is a survey of 514 policy influencers at the federal, state and local levels conducted between April 23-29, 2020 regarding their perspectives on COVID-19. It finds significant partisan divides, with Republicans more likely to see the virus as blown out of proportion and prioritizing reopening businesses, while Democrats see it as a serious threat and want stricter conditions met before reopening. However, there is also some common ground, with both sides agreeing governors not the federal government should decide reopening timelines, and that the economic recovery will be gradual rather than immediate. Key issues like education funding and budget crises are priorities for both parties.
Report: Understanding Policy Influencers’ Priorities in a Post-COVID WorldGloverParkGroup
The Glover Park Group has been hosting regular in-depth conversations with Americans to understand how they are feeling amidst COVID-19. We also wanted to gauge how those who are actively influencing policy are reacting to the pandemic and how it will impact the policy landscape moving forward.
The document summarizes the findings of an online discussion with 314 American voters about navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. Key points include:
- Americans expect a long road ahead with social distancing and anticipate a possible second wave. They want significant progress like a vaccine or widespread testing before returning to normal.
- They support antibody testing and a staggered return to work but have questions about feasibility. Tracking apps face skepticism over data privacy and potential discrimination.
- Americans are watching closely to see how companies treat employees in terms of pay, benefits and safety. They credit leaders who have helped communities and donated but will judge those who don't follow through on values.
This document discusses the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 U.S. election. It notes that the pandemic has led to postponed primaries, a delayed Democratic National Convention, canceled campaign rallies, and increased campaign advertising. Polls show Biden leading nationally but some battleground states like Florida are close. Vote by mail is supported by most Americans but opposed by some Republican leaders. Key swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan that Trump narrowly won in 2016 could decide the election again. Issues related to healthcare and the economy are likely to play a larger role in campaigns due to the pandemic.
The document summarizes the key insights from an online discussion with 210 American voters about their views and concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the main points that emerged include:
1) Voters are worried about both health risks and economic impacts, but prioritize protecting lives over the economy. They appreciate essential workers who are risking exposure but feel more should be done to support them.
2) Businesses' responses during this crisis will shape their reputations long-term. Voters expect companies to support workers, communities and the greater good over profits.
3) The pandemic has increased calls for stronger social safety nets and paid leave. Voters will remember which entities helped or hindered relief efforts.
Super Tuesday results significantly changed the dynamics of the Democratic primary race. Joe Biden had a very strong night, winning 10 of the 14 states and exceeding expectations. His momentum was boosted by endorsements from other dropping moderate candidates. Bernie Sanders did not expand his coalition as hoped. Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg both underperformed and have since dropped out. The primary is now a two-candidate race between Biden and Sanders, with Biden holding a narrow lead in delegates. However, over 1,000 delegates are still up for grabs and a contested convention remains possible if no candidate receives a majority.
As the midterm elections have come and gone, we can now look back on the issues that voters cared about most, where voter opinions lie on key issues, and more. Our Research team compiled the most pertinent results in their Midterm Election Recap deck.
In this latest public opinion landscape, GPG's Research and Insights team look at tax reform, DACA, gun control, and the Russia Investigation, as well as a look ahead to the 2018 midterms.
Donald Trump's first 100 days in office saw mixed public opinion reactions to his actions and policies. His approval ratings declined over his first 100 days, making him the first president in the last 60 years to attain a net disapproval. Specific policies like the travel ban and attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act faced intense public scrutiny and disapproval. However, the public supported his Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch and strike on Syria, while being more cautious about investigations into Russian interference and ties to Trump's campaign.
This document provides a summary of public opinion on several issues faced by President Trump between May and October 2017. It includes Trump's approval ratings over time, opinions on responses to events like Charlottesville and hurricanes, and views on policies like the Paris Climate Accord, North Korea, health care, and gun control. Most Americans disapproved of Trump's response in Charlottesville. They also generally opposed withdrawing from the Paris Accord and disapprove of Trump's handling of North Korea and health care. After recent mass shootings, most support stricter gun laws. Looking to 2018, Democrats have a slight advantage in generic ballot polls for Congress.
The document contains summaries of several polls of Trump voters on various policy issues. According to the polls:
- Trump voters favor increased federal spending on issues like immigration enforcement, the military, and infrastructure over cuts to programs like foreign aid and welfare. They also support maintaining spending on areas like the environment, healthcare, and education.
- A majority of Trump voters support action on climate change, environmental protection, and renewable energy over pulling out of the Paris Agreement or reducing regulations. However, many also support expanding fossil fuel production.
- Around half of Trump voters believe it should be easier for public figures to sue news media for unfavorable coverage, and support cuts to federal funding for public media.
Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election in an upset, defeating Hillary Clinton despite polls showing Clinton as the likely winner. Trump was able to win key Midwestern states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin that typically vote Democratic by mobilizing white voters without college degrees. Although Clinton appears poised to win the national popular vote, the electoral college results gave Trump the presidency. Down-ballot, Republicans maintained control of the Senate while Democrats narrowed Republican margins in the House.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the 2016 US elections that were held on November 8, 2016. It summarizes the key races and metrics heading into election day. For the presidency, national polls showed Hillary Clinton with a small lead over Donald Trump. For control of Congress, Republicans led in the House while races for the Senate were very close with some key battleground states that could determine party control. Overall voter dissatisfaction with the direction of the country was high according to polls.
This document provides an overview and analysis of polling data from the 2016 US presidential election one week before election day. Key findings include: Clinton maintains a national lead over Trump in polling averages, though the race has tightened; Clinton leads Trump in 5 of 9 battleground states; the Senate race could go either way as several races are very close; and Republican Senate candidates are generally polling better than Trump in key states.
The document provides an overview and analysis of the 2016 US election as of July 2016. It summarizes polling data showing Clinton leading nationally but some swing states are close, and both candidates are viewed unfavorably by most Americans. While more voters say Clinton has the right experience, majorities also think she is too willing to bend rules and the email scandal raises judgment questions. Looking ahead, the presidential debates and final 100 days of the campaign will be important as few voters say their minds are made up.
The document provides an overview and analysis of the 2016 US election as of July 18, 2016. It summarizes polling data showing the Republican party is divided following primary battles, with a majority of Republicans preferring another nominee over Trump. While Trump has stronger support than past nominees, only about half of Republican voters believe the party will unite solidly behind him. The majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of both Clinton and Trump. Most do not see Trump as qualified but want a president to take the country in a new direction. Interest in the election is high with many feeling it really matters who wins. Nationally, polls show Clinton leading Trump. Key upcoming dates are noted along with most voters not looking forward to the
This document provides an overview of public opinion in America and Europe regarding international affairs and Brexit. It shows that Americans generally have favorable views of European countries like Germany, France, and Great Britain. Most Europeans also see the US positively, though some see it as a major threat. Both Americans and Europeans agree that ISIS is a top threat. The document also examines views on issues like global engagement, economic ties, and immigration. Regarding Brexit, polls show support fluctuating with some polls showing a lead for remaining in the EU while betting markets favor remaining. Reasons for leaving or remaining in the EU are also explored.

Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
