Energy Crises:An energy crisis is any great shortfall (or

price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. It usually refers to the

shortage of oil and additionally to electricity or other natural resources

The electricity shortfall has declined to 3000MW since the country can now manage to generate 16,170MW of electricity against a demand of 19,000 MW,

•Power crises are the main cause of destroying the economy of the country.

•The power crisis is followed by decline in production and at the end the economy of the countries is affected badly.

•We are running short of fuel worldwide. All the countries are affected by the power crises.

Solution

•Is to start more energy producing programs by making new dams or producing energy from wind or from sun(solar).

Poverty: Analysis conducted by the government shows that the poverty has increased roughly from 30% to 40% during the past decade.

The report shows that 21 percent of Pakistan‘s population lives below $1.25 per day.

Literacy is defined as persons aged 15 or above who can “read” and “write". According to this definition, Pakistanis officially reported to have 50% literacy rate

With such family backgrounds, inflation, poverty and child labor this rate is expected to increase in future.
