Abstract

Pakistan's gross national product has been rising over time. While GNP per capita remained practically unchanged during the 1950's, it increased appreciably in the 1960's. The trend of per capita income does not, however. indicate whether and to what extent economic development had 'trickle down' effects to improve the lot of the relatively poorer sections of society. Studies of intertemporal changes in inequality of income distributions and in levels of income (consumption) could show what changes actually took place in their absolute and relative income positions
