Similarly trade and inflation also have significant association with poverty, however, inflation and poverty have positive association while trade has the negative association with poverty growth rate in Pakistan. The value of R square (0.756) indicates that model is a good fit and F-ratio states the overall significance of the model. Therefore, results suggest that government should adopt the policies that promote SME growth rate, trade openness, human capital, GDP, government development expenditure and lower inflation rate to control poverty in Pakistan.
