Poverty of pakistan 

What is poverty ? 

 Poverty is not having enough material possessions or income for a person's needs. Poverty may 

include social, economic, and political elements. Absolute poverty is the complete lack of the means 

necessary to meet basic personal needs, such as food , clothing and shelter..

      Poverty is a curse. Pakistan is a poor and underdeveloped country. And of its population lives in adverse circumstances. Some reports reveal that more than 40% population of Pakistan lives below the line of poverty. The rising poverty is the result of poor governance and slow economic growth. A large number of people in our country do not have a proper place to live in. This miserable condition has given birth to an increase in beggars and needy people.  

      In Pakistan, poverty is increasing day by day. The government should take effective steps to reduce it. It should, for example, provide credit facilities and use labor-intensive techniques of production to reduce poverty…

                      Causes of poverty 

1 ) Unemployment : 

                                occurs when workers who want to work are unable to find jobs, which means lower economic output, while still requiring subsistence. High rates of unemployment are a signal of economic distress, but extremely low rates of unemployment may signal an overheated economy.

  

  2)   Soical iquality: 

                        Social inequality occurs when resources in a given society are distributed unevenly, typically through norms of allocation, that engender specific patterns along lines of socially defined categories of persons.

3) Education : 

                 Education is about learning skills and knowledge. It also means helping people to learn how to do things and support them to think about what they learn. It's

also important for educators to teach ways to find and use information.

 4) Population growth: 

                   the main reason for such high growth is the lack of family planning. Consequently, a large population has caused unemployment, poverty and lawlessness
