Pakistan does not appear to have a very high standing in the world today. The people within the country are not living for a very long time, and the time they spend alive is not worth much, seeing as most of the citizens are illiterate. In actuality, they are not well educated in anything. Majority of the jobs found within Pakistan are primary sector jobs, farming, which is not a highly rewarding sector of jobs. Besides the lack of good jobs, the pollution and energy problems in Pakistan are holding the country back. The air and water pollution caused by the use of natural gas and hydroelectricity. These pollution problems are generally overlooked and could potentially become worse if nothing is done soon.

I do not see Pakistan having a very high standing among other countries in the next 50 years. The country does not seem interested in becoming more successful. No real attempts to bring in more service jobs have been made, and there is no way the country will become very powerful with only farming jobs available. Also, the lack of education of the Pakistani people will keep the country from becoming successful. People should definitely be well educated to get ahead in life, and in the world. Finally, if the problems with pollution are left unsolved the country will not get far. If the pollution in Pakistan becomes worse than it is already, the life expectancy of the citizens will drop even lower than it is currently, and there will not be a significant number of people within the country to even attempt to better the situation. In conclusion, if Pakistan does not try to better the country, they will be on a steady decline.
