POVERTY
Poverty refers to the lack of adequate financial resources such that individuals,
households, and entire communities don't have the means to subsist or acquire the
basic necessities for a flourishing life. This means being so poor as to struggle to
obtain food, clothing, shelter, and medicines.
In certain developing countries, poverty-stricken infants are nine times more likely to
die
Poverty is a difficult cycle to break and often passes from one generation to the
next. It is often determined by socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, and
geography. Many people are born into poverty and have little hope of overcoming it.
Others may fall into poverty because of negative economic conditions, natural
disasters, or surging living costs, as well as drug addiction, depression, and mental
health issues.
Access to good schools, healthcare, electricity, clean drinking water, and other
critical services remains elusive for many and is often determined by socioeconomic
status, gender, ethnicity, and geography.
South Sudan is one of the countries of highest poverty rate with 76.4%,Afcrica with
55% and Afghanistan with 54%
The United Nations and the World Bank are major advocates of reducing world
poverty. The World Bank has an ambitious target of reducing poverty to less than
3% of the global population by 2030.11
Some of the actionable plans to eliminate poverty include the following:
For poverty to be eradicated as the World Bank sets out to do, communities,
governments, and corporations need to collaborate to implement strategies that
improve living conditions for the world’s poor. Among these strategies may include
boosting socioeconomic conditions, fighting and eliminating systemic racism,
establishing minimum wages that align with the cost of living, providing paid leave,
and promoting pay equity among other things.

RACISM
Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to
inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.[1][2][3] It
may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because
they are of a different race or ethnicity.[2]
Housing laws are a prime example of this. In the United States, regulations
kept Black people from owning houses in certain neighborhoods for
decades, relegating them to lower-quality housing and preventing them
from accumulating wealth. This process of providing housing to white,
middle-class, and lower-middle-class families while excluding Black
Americans and other Americans of color is known as “red-lining.” The
Federal Housing Administration believed if Black Americans bought homes
in or near suburbs, the property values would drop. The FHA had no facts
to back up this belief. Red-lining had consequences that resonate to this
day, including but not limited to a gap in generational wealth and racist
beliefs about Black people.

LIBERALISM
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the
individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality and equality before the law.[1][2]
[3]
Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles. However,
they generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil
rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political
freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of
religion.[11] Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.[12][13]

COMMUNISM VS CAPITALISM
Today, I stand before you to shed light on the age-old debate between communism and capitalism
and how it relates to Pakistan. often referred to as a capitalist country with a socialist mindset [2],
is currently facing numerous challenges. As we compare it to America, a capitalist society that has
recently been hit by a recession and lacks a comprehensive healthcare system, concerns about
Pakistan's future arise [1].Communism, epitomized by countries like Cuba, has proven to provide
excellent healthcare systems and promote greater equality [1]. However, we must acknowledge
that socialism is a complex system that cannot be easily adopted or applied [1]. Comparing
socialized medicine across different countries is not a simple task, as these debates are best suited
for academic journals [1].On the other hand, critics argue that socialism grants excessive power to
the government, advocating for a free-market economy where individuals have more influence [1].
They criticize the US for not being a true free-market economy due to factors such as Medicare,
military invasions, healthcare plans, and regulations [1]. They even suggest that China, with its
more free-market economy, is doing better than the US [1].In reality, the Chinese model combines
elements of capitalism and socialism, catering to the needs of developing countries and promoting
economic growth and stability [1]. However, challenges such as poverty and unequal access to
healthcare still persist [1].In conclusion, the debate between communism and capitalism in
Pakistan is a complex one. While socialism offers potential benefits in terms of healthcare and
equality, it is not without its challenges. A balanced approach, like the Chinese model, may be
more suitable for developing countries like Pakistan. Let us strive for a system that promotes
progress, equality, and meets the needs of all citizens.
Thank you.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Ladies and gentlemen,Unemployment is a pressing issue in Pakistan, affecting
millions, especially our youth. The challenge arises from factors like rapid
population growth, economic instability, and education disparities.To tackle this
issue, we must invest in education, skills development, entrepreneurship, and
infrastructure. Public-private partnerships, economic diversification, and effective
social safety nets can play a crucial role.Unemployment is a challenge, but it's
also an opportunity for us to invest in our people, create jobs, and build a
prosperous future for all Pakistanis. Thank you.
Unemployment Rate in South Africa averaged 26.97 percent from
2000 until 2023, reaching an all time high of 35.30 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2021 and a record low of 21.50 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
