I have worked on the eradication of poverty. In the contexts of Pakistan, poverty has always been higher in rural than urban areas. Pakistan has shown a decline in the poverty during the 1970s and 1980s, but the trend reversed in the 1990s. Poverty rose more sharply in the rural areas in the 1990s, and the incidence of rural poverty was significantly higher than urban poverty. Inequality in both urban and rural areas also increased in Pakistan during the 1990s, which enhanced the negative impact on poverty. Although agriculture is the main activity in rural society, a significant percentage of the rural labor force, estimated at more than 40%, depends completely on nonfarm activities. The development of nonfarm activities appears to have been severely affected by low economic growth, a weakening in public sector development expenditure, and lower worker remittances during the 1990s. We provided shelter and clothing to homeless people in Islamabad with the help of my organization.
