A Tale of Two Starting Lines 🌏
GDP Per Capita (1960): 🇰🇷 South Korea: $158 🇵🇰 Pakistan: $81
GDP Per Capita (2025): 🇰🇷 South Korea: $34,641 🇵🇰 Pakistan: ~$1,587
Quite the economic plot twist, isn't it? 📊 Two nations, similar beginnings. Then everything changed.
Pakistan actually showed real promise back in the 60s. 🚀 Ayub Khan pushed industrialization hard. The Second Five-Year Plan took off—unexpectedly well, it seems. National income jumped 20%. Pakistan became something of a model. Other developing countries took notice.
The Green Revolution took root. 🌱 After the Indus Basin treaty, farmers adopted high-yield crops. Mangla Dam came online in '67. Power capacity surged. Railways improved. Communication networks expanded. Progress everywhere.
Lollywood boomed. 🎬 Social films gained popularity. Cities grew. Education reforms started addressing society's changing needs.
Then things got messy. 🔥 The 1962 Constitution gave Ayub Khan too much power. Not great. The Indo-Pakistani War of '65 drained resources. East and West Pakistan grew apart. Tensions built up. The outcome wasn't pretty.
Now look at 2025. The gap is staggering. 📈 South Korea multiplied its GDP per capita 219 times since 1960. Pakistan? Just 19-fold growth. Kind of shocking when you think about it.
Same starting blocks, wildly different finish lines! 🌕
