Description
Byline: Anwar Shaheen Poverty is a multifaceted social reality which has been largely relegated to the economic scholarship and analysis. Though sociologists of the past have deliberated on this issue yet with the emphasis upon data, quantitative methods and perhaps with the advancement of global economic institutions, poverty was divested of its social features, thus it was limited to the ministries of economic affairs, largely manipulated by the political elite of the society. So poverty became an issue of political parties' manifestos as well, such as roti, kapra aur makan (food, clothes and shelter) in Pakistan. Due to the underdevelopment of social sciences, except economics, this glaring reality of over half of the under-fed, under-clothed and poorly sheltered populace has been distorted. Its solutions were also sought by the economists and political scientists, who were largely ill-informed or ignorant especially due to lack of qualitative data.
