Poverty is the deprivation of food, shelter,

money and clothing when people can’t

satisfy their basic needs.

Poverty also means not having

enough to feed and clothe a family,

not having a school or clinic to go

to, not having the land on which to

grow one’s food or a job to earn

one’s living, not having access to

credit.

Every third Pakistani is caught in the ‘Poor’

bracket.

Some 58.7 million out of a total population

of 180 million subsist below the poverty line.

This includes more than half the population

in the forever remote Baluchistan , 33 per

cent in Sindh, 32 per cent in Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa and 19 per cent in Punjab.

Pakistan was recently facing the shortage

of sugar and wheat due to the smuggling

these items to neighbouring countries.

Pakistan is the 7th largest wheat producing

country, it’s consumption was 20 Million

ton and produced 23 million ton recently.

Similarly Pakistan is the 4th largest

sugarcane producing country.

International Labor Organization defines,

poverty occurs when people are without jobs.

Unemployment rate in 2009 was 7.40 which is

doubled in 2010, the current rate is 15.20%.

When people are unemployed they consume

the resources but are unable to

contribute in overall economy,

which results in poverty.

Poverty in Pakistan is increasing because of

general rise in prices of all products in

Pakistan
