| At least 200 women out of every 1,000 die during delivery process in Pakistan, where infant mortality rate per 1,000 lives is still 87, says the State of the World Population Report 2002 launched on Tuesday. The report with emphasis on people, poverty and possibilities said 50 out of every 1,000 between the age of 15 to 19 years become pregnant. It noted that the HIV prevalence between the age of 15 to 24 in Pakistan is 0.06 among males and 0.05 among females. The life expectancy among males is 61.2 years while 60.9 among females whereas the percentage of illiteracy among males is 41 per cent while 70 in females, it added. We all know what their problem is, of course: they're not religious enough. Government by mullahs would fix those problems in a jiffy. |
