Abstract / Description
The biggest development challenge facing Pakistan is how to meet the millennium development goal of bringing down the incidence of poverty from the current level of 33 percent to 18 percent by 2015. It may be recalled that by reaching this goal, we would have only regained the level we had attained in 1988-89. This experience shows that it is quite easy to relapse into higher incidence of poverty but it is quite an uphill battle to recover the lost ground.
