Abstract
The present study explores the social and economic dimensions affecting the poverty
culture existing in the slum areas of Karachi, Pakistan. The significance of the study
highlights the major causes of hindrance in community development poverty and lack of
social indicators-which are becoming a culture of the people as their value system along
with feelings of powerlessness, meaninglessness, isolation, social exclusion, and selfestrangement in their group relations. This is a qualitative as well as an exploratory
research that highlights the emergence of poverty culture in Pakistan for which the
researchers have developed an idiographic model to identify the major variables of
poverty culture. The researchers in the present study provide the positive and
constructive counter-narratives and recommendations against myths about the culture of
the poor people. In the present study, researchers have used facts and figures from the
United Nations and World Bank Report of Poverty Reduction.
