Abstract
Poverty is one of the major obstacle in the way of national
economic development of developing countries including Pakistan,
and adversely affects the socio-economic condition of a country.
Along with other factors, lack of education and leadership also is
considered as one of thereasonsfor the high level of poverty in
Pakistan. Therefore, the role of an educated leader cannot be
ignored in bringing economic prosperity in a country. Therefore,
the central objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of
educated leaders measured by education on poverty in Pakistan.
We used secondary data taken from the Economic Survey of
Pakistan (2018-19), and World Development Indicators (2019), the

poverty alleviation, indicating that promoting education certainly
helps to mitigate poverty. It is concluded that poverty can be
reduced through encouraging educated leadership in Pakistan.
