It is observed that individual effect of each factor and combined effect of all factors as well. Through this study it is checked that in which way FDI inflow respond to the economic and structural conditions of a country. These three South Asian countries (Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) are developing countries and it is a perception that there is low cost labor in such developing countries. Foreign investor likes to invest in such countries where labors are agreed to work at lower wage rate or where the unemployment rate is higher. Likewise the effects of Tax revenue, Inflation, GNI, Unemployment, GDP and Population, Internet user, Mortality rate and Life expectancy factors on FDI have studied through regression methodology. Data of past 20 years is taken to use regression model, which reflects that structural and economical instability significantly reduces the flow of FDI. Hypothesis is taken that unemployed labor demand for FDI inflow but low structural and economic development reduces the FDI inflow. It is proved in this study that individually unemployed labor is not effective on FDI inflow but combine all factors of economic and structural variables have significant effect on FDI inflow.
