Now we would like to briefly explain these important and main causes of poverty.
- POPULATION EXPLOSION:
The first important cause of poverty in Pakistan is the population explosion. A poor man of very ordinary means has several children often more than five, six because he marries early. He cannot afford to maintain the large family. These days, rapid increase in population is the major cause of poverty in Pakistan.
- PERFORMANCE OF PAST GOVERNMENT:
Thirdly, performance of past governments is the main cause of poverty in Pakistan. The past governments did not build dams in different parts of the country. With more water and cheaper electricity, farm production would have been increased and more labor would have been employment. In this way, poverty can be reduced.
- ROLE OF BIG LANDOWNERS:
Lastly, the main and important cause of poverty in Pakistan is the role of big landowners and feudal landlords. In order to help the poor their general education level should be drastically improved. The government should take immediate steps to industrialize the country extensively. As many big and small dams should be constructed across the rivers. Farming should be gradually mechanized besides setting up a large number of factories. Feudalism should be abolished permanently. Farmers should be able to own their lands in large commercial units. In this way, poverty in Pakistan can be reduced on a large extent.
