Amazing tweets and posts on social media are coming from the educated people especially from youth social media accounts about UNDP “Pakistan National Human Development Report PKNDHR 2017”. I would like to ask a simple question from the educated people that Did you read this report? I am sure that the answer would be “No”. “This latest report has extremely important findings about Pakistani youth in particular.

Pakistan is transitioning from an agriculture economy to industrial economy. The country spends most of its budget on national security and infrastructure, a very low proportion of budget is allocated for social services such as education and health.
