Homeless peoples in Pakistan Homelessness is a condition meaning without home. All people in the world do not have access to housing; therefore, they are called homeless.
In almost all the countries, including the developed ones, there are people who do not own their own houses and Pakistan is among the top of them.
There are many causes of being homeless; prominent among them are natural disasters, wars, war against terrororism, overpopulation, poverty and unemployment.
At present population of Pakistan consists of nearly 200 million souls and almost 3 million are being added every year. Pakistan ranks number 6 in the list of countries by population. UN estimates that around 20 million people are homeless.
Therefore, the problem of housing is going from bad to worse as resources cannot match with the rapidly growing population because a lot of money has to be spent on feeding such a huge population. Pakistan needs at least 1 million new homes to partially meet the housing demand. Our leaders, including those in government and opposition, should give some thought to this burning issue; if no timely action is taken it will grow out of proportions.
