8] Conclusion



Poverty in Pakistan is a multifaceted problem-deeply rooted in its sociopolitical and economic structure of governance. Lack of effective political and economic governance is adversely hampering efforts to cut rising poverty in spite of hefty increase in pro-poor expenditure over the last several years. Both the urban and rural poor continue to suffer multiple deprivations because of corruption, inefficiencies and misplaced priorities. The center's poverty of opportunity index estimates that 29.2 percent of the country's total population, or more than 52.5 million people out of 180 million, live in the poverty. The actual poverty is much higher than 22.6 percent income poverty. It means that individuals living above income poverty line of $1.25 per person in education health and other services.
In this essay I would discuses main causes of poverty, would pinpoint its repercussions and would re command some practical suggestions to alleviate poverty.

nice effort my dear but you need to work on your introduction a little more. Moreover, i would like to say that you must include, after the impact of poverty in your outline, what steps government has taken so far in order to alleviate the curse of poverty.

It is a astonishing effort. You need to mention hurdles as well after remedies. It is my opinion. secondly, if you sketch down your outlines i.e. soco-eco and political causes respectively it would be more easy for checker to give you good marks. There is little bit jump in you essay. Otherwise it is a nice effort. As far as intro is concerned, dear in intro make two paragraphs, in first para you need to mention current circumstances concerning poverty. Then, in second para you have to write down your essays' gist. In other word essay's summary. It is what I have been assumed in essay. However, it is my opinion, if I am wrong please correct me.

Keep it up.
I wish you best of luck...


Thanks.....
