Some Pakistani readers of my blog argue that the Pew Survey showing 51% say they are better off now than in 2002 does not represent them. Such readers are part of the 49% in the Pew Satisfaction Survey in Pakistan who believe they are worse off now than they were in 2002 or 2007. Loss of personal safety is their biggest concern. Yes, there are problems mainly due to increase in crime and terrorism but such things are not uncommon among developing and emerging nations. In fact, Pakistan is better than many other similar countries in terms of violence. Just look at Iraq, Nigeria, Venezuela, South Africa, Mexico, Honduras, Chad, Dominican Republic, Central African Republic and Sudan which rank as the the worlds 10 most dangerous countries in terms of Progress Index 2014 personal safety component. therichest/rich-list/poorest-list/the-10-most-dangerous-places-to-live-in-2014/
