| Abstract | This study examines how remittances affect environmental poverty in Pakistan. As developing countries receive more overseas remittances, their impact on receiving countries grows. According to a study, remittances reduce poverty and affect household consumption, lowering poverty rates. The study examines how remittances affect household environmental poverty. We use safe drinking water, household structure, cooking, lighting, and heating fuels to measure environmental poverty. Control variables are used. This study uses OLS to measure remittances' effects on environmental poverty. Microdata from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PSLM) from 2019-2020 measures household expenditures. A home survey of Pakistani living standards and measurement. Our analysis includes an environmental poverty index. Environmental poverty is divided into housing, energy, and water and sanitation. We also compare provincial and gender-based environmental poverty. We divide income into lower, middle, and higher income categories to determine how remittances affect environmental poverty across income groups. We found substantial findings. All variables are significant. |
