  • ER211
Online resources: Summary: In Pakistan, Social Sciences have remained grossly under- developed and the number of social scientists miserably low and declining. Social Sciences, on the whole, have been badly ignored by the universities and public policy makers, although social sciences can and do play an important role in the socio-economic development of the country: in economic development, rural development, the solution of urban problems, improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of organisations in the public and private sectors, control of the alarming rate of population growth, and in several other areas. By ignoring social sciences, our development planners and educational policy makers have created a situation which has adversely affected our socio-economic development.
