Brief Note on Poverty Reduction and Future Challenges in Pakistan
(Civil Services Academy,walton Lahore, 2024) Civil Services Academy,walton Lahore
Poverty, defined as the inability to attain bare minimal living standards, is a multidimensional phenomenon as reflected in the form of low income, lack of access to resources, few opportunities for participation in the economic activities or political process, high vulnerability to risks and shocks, etc. Therefore, tackling poverty requires a holistic approach that promotes such economic growth, which creates opportunities for the poor, preparing them to be able to participate in the economic growth process, providing them the access to essential services such as education, health, clean drinking water and proper sanitation, etc. Maintaining macroeconomic stability, improving governance, consolidating devolution to the grass-roots level and protecting vulnerable segments of the society are the essential elements of any poverty alleviation programme.
Urbanization and Slum Formation
(Civil Services Academy,walton Lahore, 2024) Civil Services Academy,walton Lahore
The formation of slums need not be inevitable with rapid urbanization. Such an argument appears to be contradicted by evidence of large slum populations in a large number of developing countries and particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like Asia. The evidence discussed suggests that city authorities faced with rapid urban development lack the capacity to cope with the diverse demands for infrastructural provision to meet economic and social needs. Not only are strategic planning and intervention major issues in agenda to manage rapid urbanization, but city governments are not effectively linking the economic development trajectory to implications for urban growth and, hence, housing needs. In the following discussion, a case study is presented in support of the argument that city governments have to first recognize and then act to establish the link that is crucial between economic development, urban growth, and housing. This is the agendum that has been largely neglected by city and national governments that have been narrowly focused on economic growth with the consequent proliferation of slum formation as a housing solution.
