Increasing poverty

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Poverty has become a serious problem in Pakistan, which is increasing day by day. Poor citizens do not know how to fulfil the needs of their families.

Due to poverty, many poor parents are unable to send their children to school and meet their educational expenses. This has led to an increase in child labour. Instead of going to school, children hailing from poor families work in factories and other workplaces to share the financial burden of their families.

On the other hand, inflation is another reason for increasing poverty. Despite the fact that people work more than 10 hours a day, yet they are not able to fulfil their daily needs. For this reason, the authorities concerned are requested to provide free education, books, food, clothes and all other basic necessities of life to poor children so that they could get education without any trouble.
