Following an increasing labor force contribution rate from50% in 1999-2000 to 52. 5% in 2006-2007 and 6% in 2014-2015, the ratio of populationto employment went upwards over the last ten years which started from 46. 8percent in 1999-2000 – 60.

4 percent in 2014-2015, especially forwomen, which highlighted the efforts made by Government in order to create moreemployment opportunities for everyone. Overall, men seem to benefit more from labormarket advances. In 2012-2013, the share of men with a pay and salaried job wasat 41. 2% which is almost double than that of females that is 21. 6%, highlightinga situation in which the few wage and salaried jobs that are created tend to goin the hands of men rather than women. Approximately six out of ten employed peoplein Pakistan (61. 6 %) in 2012-2013 were considered to be at risk of lackingdecent work.

The large share of female vulnerability that is 78% needs specialattention. Also large share of youth vulnerability is a matter of concern whichhappens to be 60. 9%. Although young people are better skilled compared to adultlabor force, they unfortunately have to face similar labor market issues asadults.

Moreover, a very low percentage of labor productivity has been seen inPakistan over the last decade. Furthermore, the relatively low growth in laborproductivity has not gone hand in hand with the rising labor force andemployment growth. This development suggests that many new labor marketentrants are taking working on low productivity and poorly paid salary.
