Abstract
This study gives details of the interrelationship among important socioeconomic variables and food security status in Pakistan. The major socio-economic explanatory variables; education, livestock, poverty, receipts of foreign remittances, and female house-head status were analyzed against food security. The data was derived from Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurement survey dataset 2019-20. A binary logistic model has been applied for the estimation of poverty and food security indices. The study results showed that education, livestock, foreign remittances, and female house-head have a positive significant impact on food security while poverty has a negative and significant impact on food security. The study recommendations are that government must focus to increase agriculture growth, increased dependence on livestock, foreign remittances, and education.
