What should be a standard length of an essay on Poverty in Pak?

@Sadialeo

Your Intro:

The system of education in Pakistan

education is the most effective way of bringing up the people of any country to meet and compete at international fronts, speak for rights, distinguish between right and wrong and devise practical steps for advancement of the country. (It is a good start, but try to shorten your sentences). It is the key factor for national development and its availability (Don't know whether education can be made available. Rephrase it like, availability of educated and skilled human capital ....) ensures accelerated growth and progress. Deprivation of education can go in reverse direction and bring the country at its lowest ebb. (You can not deprive some one of education one has. Rephrase it like for example, Lack of education is therefore a major obstacle in economic progress .....) unfortunately, Pakistan depicts the later picture. Despite of many provisions of the constitution of 1973, (provisions about what? state clearly) nothing has been done yet for its up gradation. Indecisive system of education, (Education system can be ineffective, but not indecisive) outdated syllabus, meager budget allocation and many other such factors have played havoc with the fate of this unfortunate nation. Importance of education can not be negated. Pakistan is a developing nation riddled with a multitude of problems and facing innumerable challenges, the only long term solution lies in the dispensation of education which is free of vested interests.

Your intro is a good effort. Also try to incorporate changes that has already been posted by other member.

I again would say that length does not matter. If what has to be sais has been said in short words that is always more impressive as everyone likes brevity as brevity is the soul of the wit. An essay on poverty would revolve round intro , current state of poverty , factors responsible for it , it's impacts on society , suggestions to eradicate poverty and conclusion. Now I would talk in terms of number of paragraph. Intro and conclusion would consist of one para each while current state of povert may take one para or two. What I think one para should be sufficient for it and should have sufficient facts and figures. Now causes , impacts and suggestions should be comprising at least 5 paragraphs each. So it makes almost 18 paragraphs. And 18 paragraphs may fill pages rangin from 18 to 22 or 25.

Poverty in Pakistan and its causes.....

Introduction
Kids are being sailed by their mothers, jobless people are putting themselves on fire in front of tv camera, owing to hungriness a girl with tears in her eyes looking for food in the trash of a famous fast food restaurant to quench the fire of her hunger, a little kid who shivering with nothing on his body looking at other kids who are playing and enjoying every facilities of life. Animals and humans are drinking water from a same pond. In hospitals, people are crying with awful pain, cursing hot weather and government, and death of many people from a curable disease due to lack of health care.These are the realities of the pure land-Pakistan who is engulfed in the cruel clutches of Poverty since her inception.

Current Scenario
Currently, Poverty has been of the biggest problem of Pakistan. It is multifaceted problem. for instance poverty gives birth to other problems such as socioeconomic and political problems. According to the Asian Development bank's report that in Pakistan there are nearly one third population is under the poverty line. That means these poor are unable to earn $1.5 per day. In this connection, in rural areas of our country, people's lives have been miserable. They are unable to get basic facilities, such as education, health, employment, even though some times they can not afford to have two times meal in a day. As a result, in these conditions, people are encouraging their childs to do child labour. Which is considered against the law of United Nations, people have become psychological patients and are getting wrong direction which is against the rule of law. In the same token, the uncertainty is being increased day by day.


Causes....

Overpopulation
Poverty has a lot of causes, but we can start it from the real root of all evils that is overpopulation. Since a decade Paksitan's population has been increasing on rocket speed. According to the concerned organizations, it is predicated that if Pakistan does not control the ever-growing population then the result would be too much awful. According to them, by 2050 Pakistan will be the third most populated nation in the world. Consequently, a lot of people can not access the basic needs of life.

Unemployment
Another cause of poverty is unemployment, Pakistan's nearly 60% population is youth. And most of them are jobless in rural and urban areas. It is said that the youth are the future of a country. However, the future of our country is being executed unfairly. Jobless people are becoming psychological patients. Recently, It is watched in breaking news on different Tv channels that jobless men holding their degrees who putting themselves on fire in front of media, because they think that by the time there is so hope for a green sign. It is enough to say that is the worst effect on our youth of the history. The current democratic government announced many programmes in the name of Benazir income support for technical educations in order to alleviate poverty. Sadly, this project came under the corrupt people who did not utilize it for the sole cause.

Child Labour
However, child labour is being increased to the apex. Poor people can not afford to send their children to the school because they consider their children earning hands. People are encouraging their children for odd works e.g. welders, formers, sweepers and so on. Little children can be seen on school time who are doing job in order to fulfill the basic needs of their family. However, media and NGO's have condemned the child labour many times, on the other hand in past, some countries refused to import the goods which were made by children in factories. But despite of all these factors, owing to inflation and poverty, parents are bond to send their children to work.

Industrial
Moreover, many industrial unites are being closed because of many problems such as crisis of energy, terrorism and so on. In this result, many people have been jobless. This has affected the life of the poor people and they protest against it but nothing has been done for the sorting out this problem so far.

Agricultural
Similarly, due to the lack of energy and water crisis, agricultural sector is being affected. As a matter of fact, Pakistan is an agricultural country. Most of the people in Pakistan are farmers. Due to the water and energy crisis their lands become only unfertilized lands. Beside this, in rural areas, people have big family. When a father distributes his land to his sons into pieces, the land remains unfertilized owing to lack care of it. Most probably the sons of the farmer do not take interest in it. And the result is increasing in poverty.

National Disasters
Besides, the natural disasters are the biggest problems for a nation whether in form of flood, earthquake or any other. Pakistan has been affected from earthquakes in 2005 and floods of 2010-12. These disastrous realities are the worst example for a nation in increasing poverty. As a matter of fact, the flood not only kills the people but also destroys their wealth and every thing they have. Due to these problems, poverty of Pakistan has been increasing since the recent flood.

Corruption
Nevertheless, corruption is another cause of poverty in Pakistan. Since the inception of Pakistan, she has been looting by the corrupt people from top to bottom. Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah has made this country for the prosperity of people. To see these current circumstances he must be crying like a wolf that he had not made this country for the corrupt people who are looting and sucking her blood like hungry vampires. Currently, a lot of causes have been disclosed and are under the process by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Sadly, from top to bottom corruption is on apex. Recently, the Asghar Khan case has tarnished and vanished the image of Pakistan in the front of international media. Nine generals are involved in this case of corruption. Beside this, there are lots of other causes which are concerned with the country including Swiss cases and as well NLS, Steel Mill, Match fixing and so on have boost the rate of poverty in Pakistan.

Politics
On the other hand, vendetta between political actors have been increasing day by day as the elections are very close. Most of the politicians are not doing considerable jobs in order to work for the prosperity of the nation. Sadly, Some politicians have been anchors of the electronic media. Where they are debating for vote bank. Pre-planned talk shows are the concrete evidences. They do not refrain from doing these sorts of things. Most of the politicians want to get the handle of this country in order to move it by their own will. In simple words, in our country, there are immature politicians, they do not even point out the key problems of the country. Owing to their irresponsible role whether by democratic politicians or opposition parties, all have not been having patriotic. Owing to these mingling factors, our socioeconomic and political problems have been increasing.

Terrorism/Extremism
Beside this, the gravest problem which has been on the apex since the nine elven is terrorism. it is the problem which has been one of the biggest causes of the poverty in Pakistan. Terrorists are killing innocent people, hitting law and enforcement agencies, destroying public and government properties. Their ideology is different and they are ready to kill or be killed for their sole purpose. Due to hard line of terrorist in Pakistan, innocent people are being killed in the name of so-called target killing. Target killing is increasing day by day. Mosques, Hospitals, Schools, offices, parks, any place-we name it and the place is not safe anymore. Recent attempt of murder of Mala and her friends' instance is the most important. The extremists do not want women to be educated, because their ideologies are different and they consider them to be good Muslims. But unfortunately they are on wrong side, and killing innocent people. Every day people are being killed like a score game in numbers. Exclusive and live bomb explosion showing flesh and blood every where. Owing to terrorism and extremisms' activities the industrial sector, transportation, business, trade and other economical growth's spots are being frozen. As a result, due to closing of the offices and working places poor people are being affected awfully. And the rate of poverty is going to the rapid speed.
