چکیده
The present study was conducted to investigate the social and demographic analysis of urban-rural disparities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan during 2010. Multi-stage random sampling method was used for selection of sample size by taking 1320 and 720 respondents from the urban and rural areas of the province respectively. Chi-square test was used for ascertaining the association between the attributes while a test for proportion difference was applied to identify the significant disparities. The results revealed significant (P < 0.05) association of rural-urban disparities with educational level, materials used for construction of houses and sanitation. Also, significant (P < 0.05) differences between the proportions of rural and urban areas regarding different social and demographic characteristics were observed. Significant rural-urban disparity was recorded in almost all the studied factors like roads, water supply, sanitation, gas connectivity, garbage disposal, education, health services, agriculture, materials used in the houses and type of latrine. The results demonstrate significant differences between urban-rural areas of the province.
