More about Pakistan
Politics and law
Pakistan is a parliamentary republic in which the four provinces have their own parliaments and governments. The head of state of the whole country is the president. He must be a Muslim and has predominantly representative functions. Parliament passes the laws. It consists of two chambers: the National Assembly and the Senate. The people elect the National Assembly and the provincial governments appoint the Senate. The head of government is the Prime Minister elected by the National Assembly. The former cricket star Imran Khan (* 1952) has been the head of government of Pakistan since August 17, 2018.
The political balance of power in Pakistan is often influenced by corruption, nepotism and the military. The laws must not contradict Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia). There is still the death penalty in Pakistan. Islamist groups have repeatedly carried out bloody terrorist attacks. In 2014, an attack on a school in the city of Peshawar left 150 people dead, mostly school children. Pakistan was badly affected by the war in Afghanistan and some of the Islamist groups have close ties with the Afghan Taliban. The relationship between the two nuclear powers Pakistan and India is very tense because the countries are not on the course of the border in Kashmir can agree. Pakistan is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
There is no general compulsory education. Only three quarters of the children go to school. In rural areas and for girls, this proportion is much lower. Less than half of women can read and write. M. Yousafzai received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 because she campaigned for better education, especially for girls and women.
The school system consists of a five-year free elementary school followed by a three-year middle school and a two-year upper school. Some children do not attend a public school, but rather an Islamic religious school where they study the Koran. However, some of these schools are suspected of training Islamist terrorists.
Economy
Pakistan is a developing country. Agriculture is an important industry. It employs (2017) 42% of the workforce and generates 23% of the gross domestic product. Wheat, cotton, rice and sugar cane are mainly grown with artificial irrigation. Through the use of fertilizers and pesticides, the yields could be increased. Grain exports account for a tenth of the total export value.
Despite the rich natural gas reserves in the middle of the Indus, electricity generation is completely inadequate. Thousands of villages are not connected to the electricity grid. Pakistan imports large quantities of oil from the United Arab Emirates. Therefore the trade balance is negative, significantly more goods are imported into Pakistan than exported. The most important trading partners are China and the USA. Remittances from Pakistanis who work overseas (mostly in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) account for almost 7% of gross domestic product.
The most important branch of industry is cotton processing. Textiles, clothing, carpets, fabrics and yarns make up over half of total exports. Fertilizers, electrical goods, pharmaceuticals and steel complete the range of industrial products. Around every third Pakistani is employed in the service sector (72% in Germany). Important employers here include the public service, retail trade and transport.
Climate
Pakistan belongs to the subtropical-continental climatic area with monsoon influence. The average July temperatures in Peshawar are 33 ° C (January 10.9 ° C), in the industrial lowlands 37.4 ° C (14.6 ° C), in Karachi 30.2 ° C (19.1 ° C). The annual precipitation is low, it decreases from north to south (Lahore 504 mm, Multan 179 mm, Sukkur 93 mm, Hyderabad 180 mm). The summer monsoon rains do not reach all parts of the country. Rain farming is only possible on the edge of the Himalayas.
Vegetation
With the exception of the mountain forests (above 1 000 m above sea level mainly coniferous forests) and the cultural landscape of the Indus valley, steppes (mainly with thorn bushes and acacia bushes) and deserts predominate.
