The objective of the study is to examine the impact of intrasectoral gains/losses and intersectoral shifts in population on aggregate changes in poverty in Pakistan. The result shows that the urban and rural sectors contributed to the increase in aggregate poverty, though the “interaction effect” and the “population shift effect” alleviated poverty, the overall impact was negligible.
