Pakistan has the most urbanized population in South Asia with more percentage of people living in cities than any South Asian country. According to World Bank data in 2013 Pakistan had 38% of its population living in urban areas and cities, while nearby India in 2013 is at 32%. This is an important indicator because populations that are concentrated in more urban centric environments are better integrated into a modern economy. Which means higher employment rates, higher income rates, less poverty, and a stronger middle class.
