Poverty measurement mechanisms vary from country to country. In Pakistan, poor is defined as the "one who can't earn basic necessities of life". Last detailed census took place in Pakistan in 1998 and according to it, over 19% of Pakistanis were identified as poor. Current figures show a diminishing trend of employment and a notable rise in poverty. The core reason of poverty in Pakistan is the energy crisis Pakistan has been facing for the last 6-8 years.
