This monograph completes the series of studies based on the "People of Karachi" survey conducted by the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics in 1959 and 1960.For a variety of reasons the completion of these studies has been long-delayed.They have, as a result, lost some of their timeliness and perhaps some of their usefulness for policy purposes as well.Nonetheless, taken altogether, these "People of Karachi" monographs provide us with a comprehensive picture of the social, economic and demographic characteristics of the largest metropolitan area in Pakistan at a fairly recent point in time.They also cast light on the evolutionary processes which shaped Karachi in the first decade after the creation of Pakistan and, by inference, on the processes which continue to shape the city today.The value and importance of the studies is, therefore, clear.Mr. Ghazi Mumtaz Farooq, the author of the present study, was responsible for this monograph from beginning to the end
