Islamabad, April 24, 2012
According to a Gilani
Research Foundation Survey carried out by Gallup Pakistan, 63% of Pakistanis
claim they know about the First of April as a fun-day (April
fool-day).
A nationally
representative sample of men and women from across the four provinces
was asked “April fool’s day is being celebrated all
over the world for many years. Have you heard or read anything about it?”
Responding to this, 63% claim that they are aware of April fool’s day
whereas 37% claim to have no awareness about it.
Further analysis of data
shows that awareness about April first as a fun-day is higher in urban areas
(80%) as compared to the rural where it is 54%. The awareness levels also rise
with income levels, as it is 47% among the low and 83% among the higher income
levels.
