Political causes of poverty
Pakistan People’s Party
Even though the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which holds most of the seats in Parliament, owes most of its success in elections to rural voters, the PPP has actually made better changes in urban instead of rural areas. Salaries in urban Pakistan gained by an average of 1.1% annually in the first three years of the party’s ruling, while salaries in rural Pakistan dropped 0.8% annually. (Tirmizi, 2012)
