In 2010, Pakistan ranked 133 out of the
134 countries evaluated by the World Economic Forum's
Global Gender Gap Report on economic participation and
opportunity for women, lower than Saudi Arabia and ahead
only of Yemen. This jarring gender gap is also evident in
national data. Women account for 52 percent of
Pakistan's population, yet only three percent of them
work in the formal sector, according to the Federal Bureau
of Statistics. One important reason for women's absence
in economic activities has been the lack of women's
business organizations. This smart lesson shares what we at
the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE)
learned from our work to promote women's participation
in business associations and the creation of women's
chambers of commerce in Pakistan. |
