Abstract
Issue of poverty is not confined to one country or to poor countries only; it has global undertones and relevance. Similarly, it is not merely an economic problem; it has administrative, social, political and moral aspects too. The phenomenon of poverty trap becomes graver as it makes almost impossible for the poor to get out from this imbroglio. In this context, one ought to study the phenomenon of poverty from a multidimensional viewpoint before one can think of taking corrective steps to make this world more equitable, humane and liveable. In this paper, the author has pointed out the salient causes of poverty with special reference to the situation in Pakistan and has suggested some workable solutions to this problem.
