This study investigates the relationship between macroeconomic factors, poverty levels, and rural-urban migration patterns in Pakistan. Employing quantitative analysis and econometric modeling, the research explores how fluctuations in macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth, inflation rates, employment opportunities, and income inequality influence poverty rates and subsequent migration trends from rural to urban areas. By examining longitudinal data and employing multivariate regression techniques, the study seeks to elucidate the complex dynamics driving migration decisions among rural populations in response to economic conditions. The findings shed light on the interplay between macroeconomic dynamics, poverty alleviation efforts, and migration patterns in Pakistan, offering insights for policymakers and practitioners to formulate more effective strategies for inclusive development and sustainable urbanization.
