Final Year Project

Project Title

Education and Development Opportunities for Youth Growing Up in Financially Disadvantaged Households

Description

The middle-class spectrum in Pakistan has an extensive number of households living with an average income of Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 150,000. With inflation rates rising, and purchasing power declining, a lot of these households have to make difficult choices regarding the quality of education and development opportunities their children get. Children growing up in such households tend to face limited academic opportunities or have difficulty fitting into their existing academic institutions. This study interviews 6 Pakistani individuals with similar living conditions, to explore the effect of these factors on the education and development opportunities of the Pakistani youth. It further uses the livelihood framework as an evaluating approach to assessing a holistic impact on the coping strategies of such individuals and their long-term impact.
