| description |
Pakistan’s urban areas face a looming
housing crisis: forty-seven percent of households live in
over-crowded housing units in informal settlements (katchi
abadis) with inadequate infrastructure and services. In
response to the growing housing shortage, the Government of
Pakistan launched the ambitious Naya Pakistan Housing
Program (NPHP) in April 2019 with the objective of providing
five million housing units across the country in five years,
prioritizing those in lower income brackets for whom
affordable housing is out of reach. To assist in targeting,
and for monitoring the effectiveness of this policy and
others, it is important to determine an objective criterion
for housing affordability. This note proposes a modified
Residual Expenditure Methodology (REM) approach, drawing on
existing poverty measurement methodology, to measure housing
poverty in urban Pakistan. |
