Abstract

Owing to gender imbalances and the patriarchal system, females in Pakistan are considered minorities in the political process. The quota system has increased female representation in the parliament. Nonetheless, it is imperative to implement effective strategies and policies to empower women and to improve their engagement in Pakistani politics. The main objective of this study was to explore the major challenges and prospects of female participation in politics in Pakistan. Additionally, this study investigates the obstacles and opportunities for female participation in leadership. A qualitative research method was adopted in this study, relying on a desk-study approach and utilizing various secondary sources such as articles, research papers, government reports, and official websites. The main findings of the study indicate that economic dependency, lack of education and literacy, gender segregation, male domination, traditional beliefs, financial issues, limited awareness of political rights, political parties, social and cultural norms, and religious interpretation are the major challenges faced by women in Pakistan when it comes to participating in the democratic process and governance system. Furthermore, the underrepresentation of women in politics reflects complex and mutually reinforcing social dynamics, highlighting the need for concerted and collaborative actions and measures to address these challenges. In conclusion, women's participation will lead to improved decision-making concerning gender-based laws and regulations in various sectors, including education, health, the workplace, and society.

Abstract

Sustainable urbanization is a crucial topic in the fight against environmental issues, fast urbanization, rising energy, transportation needs, and reduced quality of life. Rapid urbanization, population growth, a lack of administrative response to issues, and rising energy and transportation costs have made ensuring sustainable urban development a major concern in emerging countries. This research aims to identify challenges Pakistan is currently facing regarding sustainable urbanization and effective urban planning. This study adopted a systematic literature review to find the most relevant 27 articles using a systematic process and analyzed them using thematic analysis. Based on findings, it has been found that the pace of urbanization without conserving sustainability has raised serious concerns about urban planning. Several issues and challenges, such as inadequate infrastructure, political resistance, uncoordinated urban growth, lack of sustainable infrastructure, and difficulty in adapting urban policies to sustainability requirements, are major concerns impacting efforts related to sustainable urban planning in Pakistan. Addressing these concerns is essential to maximizing productivity and guaranteeing the long-term viability of sustainable urban expansion. As a result, national policymakers must emphasize sustainable urban planning to achieve long-term economic growth.

Abstract

There is a general perception regarding advertisement that advertising has a strong influence on consumer behavior. Advertisement has an imperative role in changing the social and cultural values of society. For convincing and getting consumer’s attention, advertising is considered the most successful and influential way of transforming information regarding new products. The paper argues the concept of advertisement in the light of Islamic Sharia’h.  We have found no evidence of any restriction for using advertisement as a promotional tool for products however; Islam has defined a certain set of laws that should be considered while making advertisements. Moreover, this paper also highlights some unethical issues of contemporary advertisement which are prohibited in Islam.

Abstract

The employment challenges are getting more complex and worse because youth under the age of 30 constitute 64 percent of the total population. The gradual increase in labor force participation is adding more pressure to the labor market to generate employment opportunities. Hence, the growth in employment generation is essential to match the unprecedented number of young people entering working age in Pakistan. Moreover, the structural transition process involving labor movement from low-to-high productive activities has been much slower in Pakistan than in other Asian countries like China. This study identifies all major concerns regarding employment challenges in Pakistan and identifies various strategies and policies while adopting a diagnostic approach to employment policy. The reason for adopting the diagnostic approach/framework is to develop an understanding of the factors which are responsible for the slow growth of employment in formal sectors and significant constraints for generating more employment. It attempts to assess various elements that may find a place in developing strategies and policies. While designing effective policies for employment, policymakers must consider all aspects like population, demographics, types of unemployment, economic condition, social structure, and development stage of a country. Meanwhile, the role of entrepreneurial activities and the private sector, technological changes, development of labor-intensive industries and SMEs, improving skills and knowledge, youth employment programs, active labor market policies (ALMPs), and macroeconomic policies are core elements that should be considered to design effectual policies for employment generation.
