This study moves beyond income-based measures to quantify multidimensional poverty in Pakistan using household survey data. Applying the Foster–Greer–Thorbecke indices across education, health, housing, and asset deprivation, it tracks poverty levels for 2005, 2009, and 2011 to assess changes over time. The analysis reveals persistent deprivation despite economic shifts, offering evidence for more comprehensive policies that address the broader realities of well-being and human development.
