Causes of Poverty in Pakistan

People interested to listening and watching news, it is good thing to listen and watch news. People usually likes listening spacially good news but in Pakistan nowadays they listen in news some unusual things. In 2011, there was flood coming in Pakistan, which destroy many houses and the properties of people. It makes above hundred people homeless and create the poverty in their life. Everybody, in this world is much familiar about the word poverty. If they don’t know the meaning of poverty but they listen this word in their life many times either it is related to their lives or not. In simple words poverty means lack of money. In other words,  poverty is that where a person has not enough money to complete his basic needs and wants. The basic needs include food, shelter, cloths, health, education and extra. In this world there are many countries, areas and families suffering from poverty. 

Pakistan has been suffering from this problem 1947, when it came into existence. According to the situation of Pakistan, Pakistanis define poverty as a situation where a person does not have enough money to survive. For example, food is one of the main things to people needs to live. In Pakistan there are many places where people do not get clean water to drink and they do not have food to eat. Approximately 0.25% dies annually due to lack of food and do not getting clean water. There are many reasons which become a cause of poverty in Pakistan the history, Natural disaster, Lack of education and the lack of concentration of Pakistan government.

The major reason of poverty in Pakistan is the history of Pakistan. Before 1947 Pakistan, India and Bangladesh were one country. Due to different miss understanding they were distributed in there different countries. Initially Pakistan and India distributed into two countries. They distributed the economy of Barsagar (the name of the country before distribution of Pakistan and India). According to history of Pakistan it tells people that at that time Pakistani do not get their rights. Thus they had faced financial problems. After that the stuffs which they have, they start it to use and improve their economy. But unfortunately they improved and come out from the poverty they had face other problem. The problem is that Bangladeshi’s wants their county so it separate from Pakistan in 1971. Hence history is the main cause due to which Pakistan faced the poverty.

The second cause of poverty in Pakistan is natural disaster. Natural disaster means the people who are affected from the flood, earthquake, tornado and etc. in recent years Pakistan effected from earth quake and flood.  Gilgit Baltistan was affected from the flood in 2010, which become a cause to increase in poverty in Pakistan. In 2011 there were many areas where flood came and it destroys above thousand houses. Due to which above three thousand people become homeless, some of them lose their whole property and some of them lost their families. Therefore the natural disaster is also main cause to have poverty in Pakistan.

The third cause of poverty in Pakistan is the lack of education. There are many reasons to lack of education in Pakistan. The first main point is that In Pakistan there are some areas where no schools, colleges, and universities. The second reason is that Parents haves not enough money to send their children in cities and give them education. If there are schools then parents have not much money to provide books, uniform and fee of school on each month. Some parents try their best to get education their child and they sell their properties to give education to their children.  In Pakistan there are some places where schools and parents have enough money to provide education to their children. But parents do not went to get education their children specially girls. Therefore if a person is not educated then how he does a job and how he improve himself financially? Consequently, the people who are in poverty last 50 years they are still in poverty because of not providing education. Thus education is the main cause of poverty.

Effects of Unemployment on People

Imagine, there is a person and his best friend has come to his house.There is nothing to serve his friend, he wants to get something but he couldn’t or his child wants to buy toys and he couldn’t buy it for him, Have he ever thought why it is happing with him? Why he couldn’t able to buy something for his friend if there-is nothing at home, he can buy something from market to his friend and why he is not buying toys to his child? Why? Because he does not have money, he didn’t use his skills to earn money or may be lack of money all these things are known as unemployment. In other words we can say that “Unemployment” is that where a person has not enough money to survive. The unemployment rate exist with different definitions concerning who is an "unemployed person" and who is in the'\
 "labor force." unemployed workers who have become discouraged by a tough labor market and are no longer looking for work. The various schools of economic thought differ on their explanation of the cause of unemployment. There is a “natural rate” of unemployment because the skills of laborers and the positions available are slightly out of sync even under the best economic conditions. In this world there are many people who are suffering from this problem. The people who are suffering from unemployment are; the employed person, his family and his community. 

The major part which the unemployment effects is the person who is unemployed. Its effect on the unemployed person differently; he become unhealthy, angry, unconfident and extras. Consequently, either he is a single or married the unemployed person depend on the other family members. Suppose he is living his brother house, then he does not feel good to eat, even if he ate he does not eat that much, how much his body wants. Sometimeshe thought that he should less eat May it decrease the other person budget that thing loss his health. Some of other unemployed people just thinking and taking tension. They do not want to do the small job like if they got a job and there they do not get enough money than they did not do that job. Some of the unemployed become hyper and rude they do not want to listen to others if somebody gives them suggestion to do that job, it is nice to give suggestion but they do not want to understand theother people. Some of them waste their time in home and do not do any work which effect on their health and they do not become active. Thus they start thinking like that they are not able, they have not ability which loss there confidence and he is unable to express his views and thoughts. Unemployment affects the life of person differently like his health he become rude and hyper.

Unemployment not only effect on that person it also effect on his family either he is married or single. Suppose there is a 25-years old men and he has not a job. Yes, it is the responsibility the parent to fulfill his needs and wants but in the limited age(22 and less). Many parents help the children how much he is old but other people does not. Suppose he has no parents they died then it has become very difficult to others to fulfill his needs , initially they do it happily after that it become hard to them. In the other hand the married person who has not a job it become very difficult for him to survive in this world .Suppose that he has children then he has many responsibilities to complete them. One responsibility is the wife and the other responsibility is the children. So he is the responsible to give food, shelter, health, clothing, education and extras.

Finally, unemployment can affect the citizen of a country. An unemployed person is not able to educate his children, which creates a generation of uneducated people- who in turn, will have no understanding of the world and how it works.This will also effect on country economy. Therefore cycle of economy is as: the economy cycle undergo four stages: expansion, prosperity, contraction, and recession. After a  phase, the expansionary phase can start again. The phases of the economy cycle are characterized by changing employment, industrial productivity, and interest rates. Some economists believe that stock price trends precede economy cycle stages. Thus these all things also effects on his family members and as well as the society people suffer from this problem.

There are many people who are affected from unemployment.Unemploymentis not only affected on the person who is unemployed, it consequently effect on his family members and his community too. The unemployed person should listen the other people and try to walk that path and use his skillsand experience. Therefore “practice makes men perfect”. He should do that jobwhere he get some money according to him that is not enough for him as, “something is better than nothing”.
