Social problems in pakistan and their Solution By Allah Dad Khan

2. Social Problems of Pakistan
• The Pakistani society has become prone to diversified
social problems for which social scientists are coming
up with appropriate scientific skills to address the
social pathologies and Anthropologists are at the
forefront in such a pursuit. However the Academia and
International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs)
during the last two decades have done ample work and
brain storming for the alleviation of social problems
and uplift in the socio-economic status of the masses.
This effort encompasses both the theory and the
practical and Anthropology as a discipline is well
equipped in both.

3. 1.Human Population Growth
• These range from life-threatening to simply disruptive. They include:
• Over 1 billion people do not have enough food and safe drinking water.
• Global warming is disrupting our ecosystems and threatening billions of people
with dislocation.
• Energy sources, from wood to oil, are becoming scarcer and harder to reach or
extract.
• Due to population pressures, people now live in areas that are basically unsafe.
Hundred of thousands of people died in 2010-2011 because they lived on
floodplains in Pakistan or by the tsunami-prone coast of Japan.These regions were
sparsely populated 30 years ago.
• Population growth shares complex ties to poverty and inequality, exacerbating the
gap between the wealthy and the poor, and complicating access to Earth's finite
resources.
• In the U.S.alone, sprawl destroys 2.2 million acres of farmland, ranchland and
forest every year.
• Americans spend an average of 55 workdays (2200 hours) per year stuck in traffic

4. The solutions are things we should be
doing anyway
1. Empower women and families to plan how
many children they want.
2. Education and job opportunities, especially
for women
3. Awareness of environmental and social cost
of overpopulation
4. Social norms
5. Economic forces

35. 4.Water Crisis ( Reasons)
• While economic stagnation, terrorism and religious
intolerance remain in the spotlight, the South Asia scholar
Anatol Lieven warns that water shortages "present the
greatest future threat to the viability of Pakistan as a state
and a society." Regrettably, the discourse on the subject
remains both delusional and misdirected.
• In 66 years since independence, Pakistan's per capita water
availability has declined from 5,000 cubic metres to less
than 1,500 cubic metres, according to a 2009 report.
Currently Pakistan provides about 1,000 cubic metres of
water per capita - about the same level as Ethiopia. At this
rate of depletion, by 2025, Pakistan's water shortfall could
be five times the amount it can presently store in its
reservoirs.

72. 18.Internal and international migration
• Labor migration from rural areas is a conspicuous phenomenon in developing
countries. Due to lack of employment opportunities and insufficient income from
farming in rural areas, migrating to the urban areas or overseas for work is one of
the limited options available to poor villagers. This paper analyzes labor out-
migration based on data from a survey of migrant-sending areas in rural Pakistan
and aims to identify household characteristics that influence migration decisions.
The study finds an inverse U-shaped relationship between landholding size and the
probability of migration in the case of external migration. Since external migration
is a costly process, small landholders may not have the funds to finance migration
and thus be less likely to migrate. Moreover, external migration of villagers who
can afford it only serves as a temporary measure of development. Villagers who
work abroad eventually return to Pakistan. This ends the flow of remittances,
pushing their households back into poverty and underdevelopment. Therefore,
external migration without the possibilities of diaspora formation abroad is not a
solution. More constructive policies of development, like skill formation that
equips the villagers with sustainable income-generating capabilities, are
indispensable.

77. 22.Transportation
• Identifying and solving transportation problems is one of the chief
tasks confronting governments in developing countries like
Pakistan. Despite large expenditures on urban transport systems,
the current transportation problems in developing nations continue
to worsen because of bad planning, lack of governance, and
corruption. Therefore, developing countries like Pakistan, have a
major crisis on their hands. Urban transport problems in Pakistan
are mostly managed by building larger and better roads, but
building roads is not the solution. Road projects need to be part of
an over-all transportation plan that includes traffic management
and bigger and better transit systems and public transport. The
principles of sustainable transport encourage utilization of low cost
public transport capable of performing well in mixed land use and
densely–populated Pakistani cities.

78. 23.Human Traficking

79. 23. Human trafficking
Pakistan is a source, transit, and destination country
for men, women, and children subjected to trafficking
in persons, specifically forced labor and prostitution.
The largest human trafficking problem is bonded labor,
concentrated in the Sindh and Punjab provinces in
agriculture and brick making, and to a lesser extent in
mining and carpet-making. Estimates of bonded labor
victims, including men, women, and children, vary
widely, but are likely well over one million. In extreme
scenarios, when laborers speak publicly against abuse,
landowners have kidnapped laborers and their family
members

80. 23.Human Traficking Solution
• In 2009, all 250 Pakistani UN Peacekeeping Mission forces
received training in various government training academies
that included combating human trafficking. The
government also took measures to reduce the demand for
commercial sex acts, some of which may have been forced
prostitution, by prosecuting, but not convicting, at least 64
clients of prostitution. Government officials also
participated in and led various public events on human
trafficking during the reporting period. In February 2010,
the federal government hosted an inter-agency conference
for more than 30 federal and provincial officials that
focused on practices for identifying and combating child
trafficking, transnational trafficking, and bonded labor.
Pakistan is not a party to the 2000 UN TIP Protocol.[1]
