Abstract

This empirical analysis investigates the intricate relationships between population growth, poverty, government education spending, and their combined influence on literacy rates in Pakistan.

The research delves into the challenges posed by population growth and poverty, and evaluates the role of government education spending in mitigating their effects on literacy rates. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics influencing literacy rates and offer insights for policymakers striving to enhance educational outcomes in Pakistan.
