then you must be also knowing that there are only 19 people qualified in this profession in Pakistan, and not more than a 1000 in the whole world. Ameer Zaid

Mr. Zaid, its quite interesting to note that even professionals don't have 'accurate' statistics about the number of 'qualified' actuaries.....According to the Institute of Actuaries, (only one of the Actuarial Qualifications Awarding Body in the World) has 7052 Fellows (excluding Honorary Fellows), correct as at June 2003.
I don't know where did you get the '1000' from...DT

mmm, not all Actuarials have "InAccurate" membership statistics.
On the SoA side(U.S Life/Pension track) There are currently 29 qualified SoA members in Pakistan including both ASAs and FSAs (29 does NOT include IoA members in Pakistan, add IoA members too and there will be around 30-40 Actuaries altogether in Pakistan). All around the world there are over 17,000 SoA members, yeah over 17,000!(Only SoA members alone)
IoA(U.K) Don't know for sure, but I believe DT's figures above would be accurate on it.
CAS(U.S Property/Casualty track) atleast 3,500 members around the world, none in Pakistan.
Then we have Canadian Institute of Actuaries, Australian Institute, Faculty of Actuaries in Scottland etc etc. The figure kept increasing and increasing....many Western countries have Universities offering strong Academic programs in Actuarial Science, so don't get amused by the number of qualified members there.
