Abstract

The aims of this research paper is to Evaluating the impact of Girls’ Education on Reduction of Poverty in the Faiz Gunj District Khairpur Mirs’ Sindh, Pakistan. The premise of this study is that girls in Pakistan's more isolated regions are subjected to a male-dominated society in which they are socially, culturally, traditionally, and politically constrained. Compared with boys, girls have fewer educational and career options. In addition, girls make up half of the population, and in order to strengthen their contribution to the development of the country, they must receive an education. In order to measure the impact of female education on poverty we conducted quantitative research, and data was collected through the primary mode of data collection which is self-developed questionnaire The population of this study consists of educated and successful girls from District Khairpur Mirs, and the sample size consists of 198 educated girls selected using the convenience sampling technique.SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Science) software version-23 was used to analyze the data and yield findings. We found that there is negative relation between female education and poverty, which means increase in female education will decrease level of poverty. It means promoting girls’ education and breaking the cycle of poverty.
