Poverty in Pakistan is caused by a lack of basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing for a growing population. Education plays a key role in both reducing absolute and relative poverty by shaping mindsets, strengthening the economy, reducing child labor and crime, and fighting gender discrimination. While the government is working to address this through education programs and budgets, more can be done to improve infrastructure and leverage non-governmental organizations.
