Bangladesh is a good example of what to DO to get out of "Least Developed Country" status - vs Pakistan.
Bangladesh has focused on making it easy to do business in the country and has cracked down on Islamic funadmentalism
Yes, there are poor people earning $1 a day working in clothing factories in Bangladesh - but the alternative is $0 per day. And these ladies are sending their kid (not kids) to school so the next generation is better
And note "kid" - the Bangladeshis have halved their # of children per woman to about 2, their child poverty levels have gone down heavily while their literacy levels have risen
Pakistan did the opposite and even though it was in a better position in 1971, today Bangladesh is surging ahead and is an example for other countries to follow
Excellent data! See my post #34.
