Abstract: Gender has been largely ignored at the theoretical, empirical and policy design levels, thereby perpetuating gender biases in the actual working of economies, promoting gender inequality and poverty.1 Women and men face different constraints and respond differently to policy change. These constraints emanate from the different ‘traditional’ roles related to women and men as well as discrimination attached to them because of their biological differences. First major factor that determines gender differences in the impact is the division of labour. Females, roughly half of the population of Pakistan, contribute to the economy and fight against poverty through theirs multiple roles at home and in the market.
