Poverty in Pakistan spurs visa misuse and criminal activities by Pakistani nationals

A recent study published in the Humanities and Social Sciences Communications by Wajiha Haq and colleagues has provided a deeper understanding of poverty in Pakistan. This study measures poverty using not just money, but also education, health, and living standards, and finds that 24% of the population is suffering from multiple deprivations. Education is the area where people are struggling the most, which has serious effects on the nation’s youth and their future employment prospects.
