The economic crisis in Pakistan is having devastating effects on the people of the country, with many struggling to make ends meet. This has resulted in an increase in the number of people taking their own lives out of desperation. The poverty rate in Pakistan is at an all-time high, with an estimated 40 percent of the population living below the poverty line. In addition, unemployment is high, with an estimated 6.7 million people out of work in 2019.
The lack of access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare has only made the situation worse. This has forced many Pakistanis to turn to desperate measures, such as taking their own lives. Reports have emerged of people committing suicide due to poverty-related issues, including a lack of job opportunities, inability to pay rent, and loss of a family member.
The economic crisis has also affected mental health in the country, with an increase in depression and anxiety among many people. This has led to an increase in the number of suicides, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating that nearly 5,000 Pakistanis die by suicide each year.
The government of Pakistan is taking steps to address the economic crisis and improve the lives of its citizens. However, it is clear that much more needs to be done to address the underlying causes of poverty and to ensure that all Pakistanis have access to basic necessities and opportunities.
