Gender Gap is a Trade Trap: The Road Ahead for International Development

Dawood Mamoon

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The paper provides an outline of effective gender parity policy in South Asia with a special reference to Pakistan. The need of gender parity as an economic goal is identified by linking gender empowerment as a need to create better trade policy framework. This may provide strong public sector commitment towards bringing and implementing such laws that focus on more female participation in formal schooling as well as skill development.
