Poverty Gini Coefficient: Pakistan Is Getting Poorer — And More Unequal

Pakistan’s poverty has surged from 21.9% to 28.2% since 2018-19 as incomes fell and inequality widened. The numbers demand structural reform.

Province 2018-19 2024-25
Punjab 28.4 32.0
Sindh 29.7 35.9
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 24.8 29.4
Balochistan 21.0 26.5

Higher Gini means wealth concentration intensifies while the lower tiers fall further behind. Poverty rising alongside inequality is the worst combination for social cohesion.
