Poverty on people and society
Poverty in Pakistan varies from one province to the next. It is widely and evenly distributed in mountainous regions, where communities are small, scattered and isolated. The coastal belt and low rainfall areas also tend to have a high incidence of poverty. (Murtaza, 2013)
Farmers will limited land and livestock or even no land at all suffer the most when it comes from rural poverty. Women are also largely affected by poverty. (Murtaza, 2013)
As of 2012, Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) reported that the poverty line population is living 52% in Balochistan, 33% in Sindh, 32% in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 19% in Punjab. This provincial wise detail shows that Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are facing brunt of poverty and mostly in rural remote areas of their provinces. (Murtaza, 2013)
