UIT-SDG-Ten-Icon

Reduced Inequalities

Reduce inequality within and among countries

SDG Goal 10, “Reduced Inequalities”, aims to reduce inequalities within and among countries. It focuses on eliminating discriminatory practices, promoting social, economic, and political inclusion for all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or economic status. This goal seeks to ensure equal opportunities for all individuals and communities to participate fully in economic, social, and political life. By addressing inequalities in income, resources, and opportunities, SDG 10 aims to create a more just and equitable world, fostering sustainable development and strengthening social cohesion globally.

Statistics Of Pakistan

Income and Poverty

The national average income growth is 9.6%, while the bottom 40% of the population experiences a slower growth rate of 7.4%. To meet SDG targets, income growth for the bottom 40% needs to increase by 2.5 times Approximately 40% of Pakistan's population lives in poverty, with economic inequality exacerbated by the elite's dominance over politics, industry, and the economy

Economic Inequality

A significant disparity in wealth and income persists in Pakistan. The top 1% of farmers own more than 20% of the farmland, highlighting severe inequality in land distribution. Approximately 40% of Pakistan's population lives in poverty, with economic inequality exacerbated by the elite's dominance over politics, industry, and the economy

Legislative and Policy Measures

Pakistan has introduced various laws and policies to tackle inequality, such as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Lissaail-e-Wal Mahroom Foundation (Amendment) Act 2016 and the Balochistan Persons with Disabilities Act 2017. Policies focused on education, healthcare, and socioeconomic welfare are in place, but their on-ground impact has been limited​.

Regional Disparities

Regional disparities also fuel social instability. Rural areas, especially those reliant on agriculture, face significant challenges in terms of equitable resource distribution and opportunities Approximately 40% of Pakistan's population lives in poverty, with economic inequality exacerbated by the elite's dominance over politics, industry, and the economy
