National Poverty
Report Pakistan
2015-16
Introduction
• Pakistan has a strong tradition of poverty estimation
since early 1960s, mostly by independent researchers
using the secondary published data of the household
income and expenditure surveys (HIES). The estimation
of poverty based on the micro-data of HIES was started
in 1980s, and the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS)
was the first public sector institution which estimated
the poverty number from HIES in 1990s by applying
Food Energy Intake (FEI) method on the micro datasets.
Introduction
• However, for poverty estimates of 2013-14,
the GoP adopted the cost of basic needs
(CBN) methodology and estimated the
poverty line for this period as Rs 3030.32
per adult equivalent per month. After the
release of Household Integrated Income and
Consumption Survey (HIICS) 2015-16, the
GoP estimated 2015-16 HIICS micro-data
using the recently adopted CBN method.
