Out of total 12 indicators to measure state’s fragility, Pakistan is improving in few but most of the indicators are still making ** improvement. According to a latest Index issued by an international reputed institute Fund for Peace, Pakistan has improved its ranking this year as compared to the previous year, but this is a slight improvement. The study has taken stock of the year's events, using 12 social, eco**mic and political indicators to analyse how wars, peace accords, environmental calamities and political movements have pushed countries towards stability or to the brink of collapse. The Index then ranks the countries accordingly, from most Fragile to least. There are total 12 indicators used to measure and analyse whether a state is going to become most Fragile or least fragile. These indicators include demographic pressure, refugees/IDPs, group grievances, human flights and brain drain, uneven eco**mic development, eco**my, state legitimacy, public services, human rights and rule of law, security apparatus, factionalised elites and external intervention. Out of these indicators, Pakistan has shown improvement in some, but most of the indicators showed worsening trends. The study shows Pakistan has faced worsening trend in demographic pressure, refugees/IDPs, group grievances, human flight and brain drain, public services and external intervention. There are some indicators where Pakistan has faced mixed trends i.e. after worsening it started improving and these indicators include security apparatus, factionalised elites, human rights and rule of law, state legitimacy, uneven eco**mic development and eco**my. The study further shows that in 2013 Pakistan was on number 13 in the Index of Fragile states, but next year it got worse and reached at 10th position. However, the next year in 2015 it again showed improvement and reached 13th position and this year’s Index shows Pakistan has further improved in its ranking and reached at 14th position. During 2016, Pakistan scored 8.9 in first indicator i.e. demographic pressure, 8.9 in refugees/IDPs, while depicting worst picture in group grievances, Pakistan scored 9.7. Similarly, human flight showed improvement and Pakistan scored 7.3, it also showed improvement in poverty and eco**mic decline and gained 7.4 score. In legitimacy of the state indicator, Pakistan scored 8.3 and 8.2 in public services whereas 8.2 in human rights indicators as well. The study further shows that although Pakistan has shown a very little improvement in security apparatus and external intervention as compared to previous year but even then the scores are worst as in security apparatus indicator Pakistan scored 9.3 and in external intervention the score is 9.6. Similarly, Pakistan’s score in factionalised elite remained 8.9.
