Pakistan's development road map
"Vision 2025" sets an ambitious target of an
increase in female labor force participation (FLFP) from its
current level of 25 percent to 45 percent by 2025.
Women's labor force participation is rising across the
country; however, significant challenges remain. This Note
explores the dynamics of FLFP via analysis of the Enterprise
Survey 2013, two rounds of the Labor Skills Survey (2013 and
2015), and multiple rounds of the Labor Force Survey.
Results summarized here provide a picture of trends in FLFP
in Pakistan since 1992, identify reasons for low FLFP and
highlight key knowledge gaps. This Note, a collaborative
product of the Pakistan Gender and Social Inclusion Platform
and Social Protection and Jobs teams, is structured to
complement the forthcoming Pakistan Jobs Diagnostic. It is
also a precursor to an upcoming study, Women in the
Workforce, that will collect primary qualitative and
quantitative data on urban women's labor force
participation in urban Punjab, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta. |
