The study looked at how human development varies across districts in Punjab, Pakistan. Researchers calculated a Human Development Index for each district in 2014 and compared it to a previous study from 2007. They used better methods to measure health, income, and education levels in each district. The results show that there are big differences in development between regions in Punjab, and these differences have been getting wider over time.
