Poverty in Pakistan

(Misbah, Karachi)

Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, education, healthcare, clothing and shelter. Poverty in Pakistan is a growing concern, as it is a developing country.

Main reason of poverty in Pakistan are Lack of Education and Division of Agricultural Land. The literacy rate of Pakistan is very low. Most of people do not have any concept about the modern earning sources due to which they don't get jobs which increases unemployment. Also Pakistan is an agricultural country. Most of people are farmers by profession. One has land which is fulfilling the needs of his family but he has to divide the land into his children's when they got young . After division the land it's not sufficient to support a family and this makes their families suffered from poverty.

Diseases are more widely spread because poor people cant afford hygienic food and pure drinking which is much expensive. Due to weak health and unhealthy environment many infants born into poverty and have a low birth weight, which is associated with many preventable mental and physical disabilities.

Poverty will never end unless there are real solution to end it: solution based on economic justice and political changes.
