Poverty in Pakistan
By Fatima Asif • Mar 23rd, 2011 • Category: Politics • 2 CommentsPakistan is facing poverty due to many factors involved in making such circumstances in the in Pakistan. IBRD (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) issues annual report of a country which shows the indicators which effects positively or negatively the Country.
These indicators are named as “World Bank Indicators” According to report of 2007 of Pakistan issued by IBRD there were 765 indicators (factors) and these increases every year. 765 Indicators means that 765 factors are there in Economy of Pakistan which may take it to successive way or may be harmful for Pakistan.
Major Indicators involved in Economy of Pakistan
· Poverty
· GDP
· GNP
· Unemployment
· Savings
· Foreign Investment
· Foreign direct investment
· Investment & many more
Don’t forget that Development or Economy of any country may not be measured by any of the indicators mentioned by IBRD or the major one, to understand the Economic Condition of any country you must need to have a very close view to all the indicators involved in it.
I being a student of Management sciences read Pakistan economy as a subject and respected teacher guided us a lot to understand Pakistan Economy, I’m here discussing “Poverty as major indicator involved in Economy of Pakistan”
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 it’s US $ 2.00 per day.

Dear author,the picture of the poverty drawn conforms more to the official niceties of the discernment of the phenonmenon than something which those affected by it experirnce every second minute of their lives.While i fully endorse the fact that the measures you have talked about are used in weighing up relative poverty in a given country yet with all the respect i can shower,i would beg to differ.Firstly most of these reports inked by such institutes never keep tabs on what’s the actual or inside story of the finacial freaks like me.What these institutes do is to use red markers on the stastics they are provided by the respective governments and draw up their respective annual bibles accordingly.Two no govenment however pious is likely to edge itself away by unlocking the box of real miseries their people have to live with.Hence the fudging of the facts and numericals.However as far as the talk on poverty indicators is concerned none of these,you would agree,has any real application for assessing a common Street walker’s life.These concepts such as gnp and gdp are cooked up for the refreshment and catharsis of big enterprenuers who grace our national casinos like stock markets.I would love to see somebody explaining what poverty means instead of telling me what it is.
