Poverty is lack of basic human needs like health, education, clean water, nutrition
etc. It is a condition in which one income is not sufficient enough to fulfill his basic
needs. In Pakistan it is not a yesterday born issue, it is eating up Pakistan and now it
has spread out its circle to a larger radius now. Historically it began just with
independence because of lack of proper resources at that time. In 1980 there was a
slight decline in its level but the level again risen up after 1990 and till now it is rising
with fluctuation of time. Currently about 35% of Pakistan population lives below the
line of poverty. Mostly people of rural areas live below the line of poverty and two
third of our population live in rural areas. Scenario is also not different in urban areas
where 40% population of urban area live below the line of poverty. Currently poverty
is the cause behind many critical problems in Pakistan on one hand but it is also
outcome of many other problems.
There are a lot of reasons behind poverty. Mostly people blame politics and politicians
as one of the reason for prevailing poverty. Some call it lack of good leadership, some
call it bad government policies and some call it bad politics but they all are same in
one. The policies adopted by different government only cause a little fluctuation in
level of poverty but the condition of people remains same every time. Sometimes
unconcerned government also relates with poverty as government does not care in
the increasing of population which cause them to fall in the mouth of poverty.
Corruption has also totally engulfed every office of Pakistan it now not considered as
a sin but as right. It has gripped the country from highest level to lowest level so that
leads to weak economy and ultimately to poverty.
Bad law and order is another situation for which government can be blamed as it is
also cause of poverty. Law and order situation is getting worse because government
doesnt seems to be qualified to solve this issue. Lack of standard education causes
poverty because education make people aware. Pakistan dont have good business
knowledge and they dont know which business could lead to greater income for
them so lack of safe to carry out their business causes the economy to gets weak and
poverty to gets stronger. Education is also the leading cause poverty in Pakistan.
Poverty is obviously not a good thing its a sin. It is the root cause of many problems
like diseases, frustration, hatred, bad law and order, illiteracy and many more. A poor
country like Pakistan has not enough resources to provide proper health standards to
its people. First of all the fund allotted by the government is not enough to reach
standard of good health and lack of education is also the reason people know less
about health issues. Education standard is very poor in Pakistan due to poverty,
people cant afford here to have good education. As education is the solution for
many problems of a country poverty is the obstacle that comes in its way. This blend
of health and education issues further give birth to many problems.
Shortly it can be concluded that poverty has totally engulfed Pakistan in its mouth
where the escape is difficult but not impossible. There are still many ways to get
Pakistan out of this disaster. Leadership has got central importance here, with proper
planning and good government policies the problem can be solved. A country
economy is the backbone of its country with its solution when it is solved many
problems will automatically solve. Alone leadership is not enough for its solution.
People of Pakistan have too got responsibility with equal share. People needs to
cooperate fully with government and should be sincere with their own country and
put all their energies for abolishment of poverty.
