The data suggests otherwise.](https://galluppakistandigitalanalytics.com/2026/01/30/has-pakistan-become-a-coffee-nation-the-data-suggests-otherwise/): While tea is consumed by nearly 100% of households, coffee consumption stands at just 6% among the top income quintile. Though there is a reasonable growth from 1% to 6% for this quintile since 2018 Has Pakistan become a coffee nation? The data suggests otherwise. Using data from the Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) conducted by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, we at Gallup Pakistan Digital Analytics examined the percentage of households that reported buying tea or coffee in the last 30 days—a strong indicator of actual consumption rather than mere aspiration. Tea (2018 → 2025):– Across all income groups, 98–99% […]

For nearly three decades, the number of doctors emigrating from Pakistan remained relatively low and stable. But over the last 10–15 years, the trend has clearly broken. Recent official emigration data shows:• Annual doctor emigration rising from a few hundred in the early 2000s• Crossing 1,000 per year around 2010• Touching nearly 4,000 doctors in recent years This is not a sudden spike. It is a structural trend. Behind these numbers lie:– Frustration with working conditions– Limited career progression– Security and quality-of-life concerns– Global demand actively pulling our trained workforce […]

Doctor Numbers Rise — But 15–25% of That Rise Walks Out Each Year Using official data, we compared: ✔ annual increase in registered doctors with ✔ formal emigration of doctors 📌 In most years, the number of doctors formally emigrating is equivalent to 10–25% of the annual increase in registered doctors. 📌 In some years (2014–16, 2023), the outflow is especially high relative to growth. 📌 Even when production accelerates (2021–24), emigration remains large in absolute numbers. So the issue is not only how many doctors Pakistan produces. It is also about:how many remain […]

In 2024, 40,000 Pakistanis were issued Schengen visas — a figure that remained largely unchanged from 2023.

Could it be possible that some of our earlier unhealthy dietary habits are changing and we should not be as alarmist as we are? New long-run analysis of HIES data (2005–2025) shows that per-capita consumption of wheat has been on a gradual decline for two decades. This is not a sudden shock; it is a long-term trend.

In 1931, the two cities were nearly the same size. By 1998, Rawalpindi’s population had crossed 1 million, while Sialkot stood at just under 500,000. This gap is not about success versus failure. Sialkot is one of Pakistan’s most productive cities — export-led, industrial, and globally connected. Its growth has been steady, organic, and rooted in manufacturing rather than migration. Rawalpindi, on the other hand, grew as an absorptive city […]

Population Council has done a mapping of most vulnerable districts in Pakistan and here is the top 20 To me what really strikes is how there is one district in KP which came in top 20 vulnerable and its also the same district where there is billions of Rs of corruption exposed recently with bizarre amount of cash and gold recovered from a clerk of government of KP. The saga of corruption in Pakistan has deep consequences for its people ! 
- [Education of mother and under 5 mortality in Punjab](https://galluppakistandigitalanalytics.com/2026/01/27/education-of-mother-and-under-5-mortality-in-punjab/): Education of mother and under 5 mortality in Punjab. Maternal education remains one of the strongest predictors of child survival in Punjab. The MICS 2024 data show that under-5 mortality declines steadily with higher levels of education: from 67 among mothers with no schooling to 34 among mothers with higher education. This near 50% reduction reflects the powerful role of education in shaping health behaviors, awareness, and autonomy. Educated mothers are more likely to recognize danger signs during pregnancy and childhood illness, seek timely medical care, access antenatal and postnatal services, and demand quality healthcare for their newborns.

PBS released the latest Labor Force Survey 2025, reporting that the average monthly wage has increased from Rs 24,000 in 2021 to Rs 39,000 in 2025. On paper, that is a 62.5% increase — and it sounds like strong wage growth. But is life actually easier for the average Pakistani worker? To answer that, we must look at real wages, not nominal rupees. According to PBS’s own CPI (base 2015–16):Prices increased from 154.9 in 2021 to 280 in 2025,meaning the cost of living rose […]

Even India – with very similar patriarchal norms – looks dramatically different. New data from Pakistan’s Labour Force Survey 2024–25 conducted by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics shows a striking pattern: Only 6.7% of Pakistani men report doing any household chore such as cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, or arranging the house.For comparison:India: 26% of men do household work on a typical dayUnited States: 74% of menPakistan: 6.7% of menDespite cultural similarities, Indian men are almost four times more likely than Pakistani men to participate in household chores.

The latest Labour Force Survey 2025 exposes a stark truth: unemployment in Pakistan rises with education level. People with no education face an unemployment rate of just 4.7%, but this rate more than doubles for educated youth — reaching 12.6% for intermediate graduates and 11.7% among those with Master’s, M.Phil or PhD degrees. And the situation for women is even more alarming. Key Insights from LFS 2025 Those with little or no schooling see relatively low unemployment:No Education: 4.7%Below Matric: 6.2%Matric: 8.6% But unemployment surges for the more educated:Intermediate: […]

But what exactly are they doing? The LFS provides a breakdown of gig activities by occupation and gender. The results reveal a surprisingly diverse gig economy — far beyond ride-hailing apps.

When we think of China’s economic footprint in Pakistan, the mind immediately jumps to mega infrastructure projects, motorways, energy plants, and Gwadar. But a look at the actual corporate registrations tells a very different — and much more interesting — story. Using a database of 2,000+ registered Chinese firms, the picture that emerges is of hundreds of small and medium Chinese businesses quietly setting up across Pakistan: 🔹 trading houses🔹 solar and machinery suppliers🔹 small manufacturers🔹 engineering workshops🔹 consultancies🔹 IT support firms🔹 import–export outfits🔹 mining exploration […]

The chart below shows how Pakistan’s major urban centres have expanded since 1975. And the transformation is remarkable. For many, rapid population growth is seen only as a problem — pressure on infrastructure, public services, housing, and the environment. But there is another way to interpret this story: Cities grow because economies grow.People move to cities because opportunity moves to cities.Urban expansion is often a sign of national progress. Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar — all have multiplied in size because Pakistan has urbanised at […]

Many of us have seen pictures of renovated VIP lounges at Railway Stations in Pakistan proudly inaugurated by Minister of Railways. In many ways the culture that lead to creation of such VIP rooms at less than 1 USD usage cost , is the same that lead to collapse of a once a mighty mobility system and one that British cherished as their monumental achievement in British Raj. Instead of fixing tracks, signalling, rolling stock, or operations, scarce funds are spent on cosmetic projects that serve a handful of VIPs. This kind of […]

Data sometimes reveals the most human stories. From a dataset of over 15,000 respondents, births in Pakistan aren’t evenly spread through the year. August (10.6%) and December (10.4%) emerge as the most common birth months, while February to May remain relatively quiet — around 6–7% each. What explains this pattern? It’s the shaadi season effect — that familiar stretch of months when wedding halls fill up, heaters glow, and photographers thrive. In Pakistan, disproportionately more weddings are held during the cooler months (roughly November to February) — after the monsoon, when weather is pleasant […]

In Pakistan’s power sector, public entities such as GENCOs, TRANSCO, and DISCOs offer essential benefits like pensions, free electricity, and medical care to retired employees. However, these costs should not be treated as direct expenses of their services. To manage these financial liabilities effectively, a dedicated fund is essential. Currently, many entities charge these costs to electricity tariffs, distorting the true cost of generation and placing an undue burden on consumers. The financial strain from these benefits is growing due to an increasing number of retirees […]
