Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between poverty and Children immunizations in Pakistan. Using the data of 23 years from 1980-2012, which was collected from World Development Indicator (WDI), the Regression technique was employed for the analysis of data. The result of the study revealed that expenditure on health enhances child immunization. Furthermore, household consumption and population growth rate condense child immunization in the country. It has suggested that government need to allocate more budgets for health sector to increase child immunization. Through demonstration effect in our society encouraged to control un-necessary spending and government need to launch saving scheme that people should save more and later on use that savings for productive purpose. Government’s need some serious measures to control rapid population growth rate in Pakistan.
