    Causes And Effects Of Fluctuations In Australia's External Stability

    The Current Account Deficit (CAD) is recorded when the debits in the current account (imports and income payments to overseas) are greater than the credits (exports and income payments from overseas).

However, in recent years the deficit has been falling and in 2011 it was just 2.25 per cent.…

    Differentiate Among the Current Account, Balance of Trade and Balance of Payments.

    Differ from the current account; what accounted in the balance of trade is the difference between a nation's exports of goods and services and its imports of goods and services, with the assumption of all financial transfers, investments and other components are being ignored. A Nation is said to have a drop in its trade if it is importing more than it exports. The balance of trade forms part of the current account, which includes other transactions such as income from the international investment position as well as international aid. If the current account is in spare, the country's net international asset position increases correspondingly. Equally, if the current account decreases, it will result in a drop in the net international asset position.…

    Inflation, Unemployment and Poverty: Still Major Problems of Pakistan

    Since Pakistan came into being, it’s going through hard times. From newly born country to getting sixty four year old country, sometimes it has given sacrifices and sometimes remained victim of inapt political system. For the long time, it is facing number of challenges and conspiracies which has weakened its foundations and so is the structure.

    Population Growth in Pakistan

    Population Growth in Pakistan

    In early 1994, the population of Pakistan was estimated to be 126 million, making it the ninth most populous country in the world. Its land area, however, ranks thirty-second among nations. Thus Pakistan has about 2 percent of the world's population living on less than 0.7 percent of the world's land. The population growth rate is among the world's highest, officially estimated at 3.1 percent per year, but privately thought to be closer to 3.3 percent per year by many planners involved in population programs. Pakistan's population is expected to reach 150 million by 2000 and to account for 4 percent of the world's population growth between 1994 and 2004. Pakistan's population is expected to double between 1994 and 2022. These figures are estimates, however, because ethnic unrest led the government to postpone its decennial census in 1991. The government felt that tensions among Punjabis, Sindhis, muhajirs (immigrants or descendants of immigrants from India), Pakhtuns, and religious minorities were such that taking the census might provoke violent reactions from groups who felt they had been undercounted. The 1991 census had still not been carried out as of early 1994. The 1981 census enumerated 84.2 million persons. Population Distribution and Density Pakistan's people are not evenly distributed throughout the country. There is an average of 146 persons per square kilometer, but the density varies dramatically, ranging from scarcely populated arid areas, especially in Balochistan, to some of the highest urban densities in the world in Karachi and Lahore. About 68 percent of the population lived in rural areas in 1994, a decrease of 7 percent since 1970. In contrast, the number of people living in urban areas has risen substantially, resulting in an urban growth rate of 4.6 percent between 1980 and 1991. More than half of Pakistan's population is below the age of fifteen; nearly a third is below the age of nine. For cultural reasons, enumerating the precise number…
