minimize the levels of poverty.
Information
Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean
water , nutrition, health care, education, clothing and
shelter, because of the inability to afford them. This is
also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution.
Relative poverty is the condition of having fewer
resources or less income than others within a society or
country, or compared to worldwide averages. Poverty in
Pakistan is a growing concern, as it is a developing
country. Although the middle-class has grown in Pakistan
to 35 million, nearly one-quarter of the population is
classified poor as of October 2006. As of 2008, 17.2% of
the total population lives below the poverty line, which is
the lowest figure in the history of Pakistan.
Causes of Poverty
Lack of education:
The literacy rate of Pakistan is very low. Most of people do
not have any concept about the modern earning sources.
Most people are unable to adopt technology for their
business needs, thats why business do not meet
international standards and results as decrease in revenue
which lead the society to poor financial conditions.
Causes of Poverty
Materialism:
In our society social bonding are gradually becomes thinner
and thinner. A race of material object has been started even no
one tried to understand the problems of others. Every one is
gradually changing from human to a bioman which only know
about his needs and have no concept about the limitations of
others. People are not ready to help each other. At last every one
has lose his trust on others which effect our social and
economic system and it is another cause of poverty.
Causes of Poverty
Large Scale Import:
The import of Pakistan is greater than export. Big revenue is
consumed in importing good every year, even raw material has
to import for industry. If we decrease import and establish own
supply chains from our country natural resources the people
will have better opportunities to earn.
Causes of Poverty
Moral Culture:
The main reason for poverty is the social dishonesty and irresponsible
behavior of people. Every one is trying to get rich by using unfair means. A
shop keeper is ready to get whole money from the pocket of customer.
People doing jobs are not performing their duties well. In society the man
considered brave or respectful who do not pay taxes or continuously
violate the laws. This irresponsible behavior continuously increases and
produces loss for the country.
Criterion of Poor:
The criterion of poor is that if a person is not earning US $367.00 per is year
considered poor but this was repeated later on the criterion is changed and
now its US $ 2.00 per day.
Effects of poverty
Effects of poverty
Poor families experience much more stress than middle-class families.
Besides financial uncertainty, these families are more likely to be exposed
to series of negative events and bad luck, including illness, depression,
eviction, job loss, criminal victimization, and family death.
Homelessness, or extreme poverty, carries with it a particularly strong set
of risks for families, especially children. Homeless children are less likely
to receive proper nutrition and immunization.
They experience more health problems. Homeless women experience
higher rates of low-birth-weight babies, miscarriages, and infant mortality,
probably due to not having access to adequate prenatal care for their
babies. Homeless families experience even greater life stress than other
families, including increased, family relationships, and friendships.
