Rampant inequality
By News Desk
July 17, 2025
Poverty in Pakistan is escalating at an alarming rate. Nearly 40 per cent of Pakistanis live in poverty, with many forced to choose between food and education or shelter and medicine. The crisis is driven by deep-rooted economic inequality, where a small elite enjoys vast wealth while the majority struggle for basic needs.
Limited access to quality education and healthcare continues to widen this gap. Discrimination based on ethnicity, religion and gender also deprives large segments of the population. To address poverty, transparent governance, investment in education and healthcare and targeted support for marginalised communities are critical.
