Pakistan's Poverty Rate Rises 29% After Economic Shocks

Pakistan has seen a big increase in poverty over the past six years.

Now, about 29% of people live below the poverty line.

This is because of many problems like high prices, less money for families, and economic troubles.

The situation is worse in rural areas than in cities.

Wealthier people have been able to handle these problems better than poorer people.

The report shows that even though the economy is growing, the benefits are not reaching everyone equally.

Poorer families are struggling more because they rely on wages, which have not kept up with rising costs.
