Abstract
Globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon that encompasses economic, social, and political dimensions. This research study seeks to investigate the relationship between globalization and human development in Pakistan, supported by a comprehensive literature review and up-to-date statistics. Human development is assessed through the Human Development Index (HDI), which comprises three key indicators: per capita income, life expectancy, and education. While various studies have explored the impact of globalization on human development have reported positive effects of globalization on human development in Pakistan, particularly in terms of per capita income, education, and life expectancy. Despite Pakistan's relatively low ranking in overall globalization (122 out of 188 countries), adopting policies that promote globalization could potentially improve the country's human development rankings (currently 164 out of 193 countries) and enhance the quality of life for disadvantaged citizens by reducing gender, social class, and geographic disparities.
