Are We Poor? I Poverty in Pakistan - Myths, Realities & Solutions I EconFest Debate

Debate: Are We Poor?
As countries progress, they are able to bring more and more proportion of population out of the poverty trap. Wealth creation in all segments of society is an important characteristic of sustained economic growth and development of a country. In Pakistan however, the size of social protection programs continues to expand exponentially, indicating rising poverty.
What is the extent of poverty that actually exists in Pakistan?
- Does the government have any realistic data or relies completely on donor provided figures?
- Has poverty in Pakistan increased over time or reduced?
- Do social protection programs achieve any meaningful objectives?
- Has the expenditure on social protection programs been worth it?
- Is poverty as big a problem as cited or a source of donor funding for the government?
- Does Pakistan have any indigenous poverty alleviation policies or are we only following the donors’ directives?
- Is poverty alleviation possible without economic growth?
- Should policies focus on poverty alleviation, or focus on economic growth and achieve poverty alleviation as a by-product of economic growth?
- Is there any graduation from the poverty alleviation?

Poor quality of discussion; there is very grudging admission of the problem and that too, with a superficial smugness of poverty level being less than that of India or Bangladesh! This is despite anchor’s best effort to keep discussion on track. As a result, there was very little meaningful discussions based on data.
