LAHORE: Comprehensive reforms in governance, education, health care and employment production are needed to improve social welfare in Pakistan.

Pakistan is lower than other regional economies in the Social Progress Index (SPI), which shows the extent to which countries meet the social and environmental needs of their citizens. The SPI reviews different dimensions, including basic human needs, welfare and opportunities to evaluate life quality and social development in different countries.

Bangladesh ranks 121st with a 54.6 SPI score, and Pakistan ranks 134th with a score of 48.9. These ratings show that in all four countries, Sri Lanka has the most social development, which falls into the category of high middle social development (Tire 3). India and Bangladesh are in the category of lower middle social development (Tire 4), while Pakistan has been ranked under less social progress (Tire 5).

Eliminating economic discrepancies, strengthening institutions and promoting social participation are essential steps towards the formation of a more cohesive and prosperous society. Social welfare refers to the overall standard of relations and interactions in the community of people. This includes factors such as social participation, access to basic needs, emotional support, safety and personal development opportunities. A society that has high social well -being promotes strong social bonds, mutual respect and equal opportunities for all citizens. Currently, a vast difference between the rich and the poor leads to social unrest and limits the opportunities of the backward people.

Social fitness can be improved through various measures, including making people better jobs, making informed decisions and providing quality education for positive contributions to the society. With limited job opportunities, increasing manpower causes frustration and social instability. Social fitness cannot be achieved without creating employment opportunities. The creation of a job reduces poverty and social unrest, which enables people to live a whole.

Establishing a strong healthcare system that ensures all citizens, especially backward, proper medical care. In Pakistan, health care services are a significant part of the population at risk of disease and malnutrition.

The benefits of welfare programs, pensions and unemployment that support the weak population are essential for the welfare of the population. To achieve this, there is a need to ensure protection against justice, justice and discrimination, which promotes a peaceful and comprehensive society. Government policies that encourage urban participation, voluntary and social development stabilize social harmony. Guaranteeing the freedom of speech, association, and discrimination ensures an equal society. In Pakistan, weak institutions, Iqbal Puri and Equal Distribution of Corruption Resources prevent the distribution of resources. Access to education, especially for women and rural communities, is limited, which is restricted to the movement above.

Infrastructure development, quality of life increases from public places and entertainment areas. Pakistan, full of resources, is not in a position to achieve these goals, especially since small resources often lead to the elite.

The general welfare of the population is currently a hindrance to crime, terrorism and political instability, which has created an atmosphere of fear and restricted social transport. Social harmony in sectarian conflicts, discrimination and intolerance is limited. Social principles and legal inequality ban women’s participation in education, employment and decision -making.

Without proper planning, rapid civilization has resulted in poor life conditions and inadequate services of public services. The lack of accountability and the delay in the justice system have led to social complaints and unrest.
