The Pakistan Development Review, 1987, vol. 26, issue 4, 609-626

Abstract: This paper presents for Pakistan an analysis of the country's recent economic growth and social development, and medium·term prospects covering the period of the Seventh Plan. The meaning of economic growth is self·evident. In contrast, by social development we shall mean the pace of progress as regards the distribution of income, the satisfaction of essential needs, balanced development and employment of human resources. The paper has two purposes (i) to provide valuable information for policy making in the area of growth and development, and (ii) to demonstrate the attrac· tiveness and usefulness of working with the models we have developed. We shall rely exclusively on the results obtained from the planning models which were developed in collaboration with the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, Islamabad and Erasmus University, Rotterdam Netherlands.
