Pakistan's poverty crisis is no longer about income alone | The Express Tribune
For decades, Pakistan measured poverty through a simple question: how much money does a household earn or spend?

Broadly speaking, there are 2 subdivisions:
1. Poverty
2. Extreme poverty
In pakistan, according to the calculations below [ which are not followed by pakistan ], poverty should be more than 60 % and extreme poverty might be nearer to the estimated figure of 38 -43 % as quoted above.
Even some educated primary school teachers don't earn enough to cross the poverty threshold.
Without the 32 / 33 division level economic model being discussed these days, anything less, is going to drag pakistan into more poverty and economic crisis.
The update results in a new international poverty line of $3.00 per person per day, which replaces the previous $2.15 poverty line based on 2017 PPPs.

The indicator “proportion of the population below the international poverty line” is defined as the
percentage of the population living on less than $3.00 a day at 2021 international prices.
Nearly half of the world’s population currently lives in poverty, defined as income of less than US $2 per day, including one billion children. Of those living in poverty, over 800 million people live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than US $1.25 a day.
