Abstract

Even though 96% of Pakistan's population is Muslim, the enormous capacity for zakat management in Pakistan has sadly not been utilised. Several Muslim groups in Pakistan prefer to contribute their zakat immediately toward the Central Zakat Fund instead of officially to the government. This behaviour has turned into a major issue that needs to be investigated and fixed. In this research, several variables are examined, including zakat literacy, trust, and the accessibility of digital payments, which have been linked to people's intentions toward zakat collection and zakat management organizations are examined. A sample of 100 young Muslims, specifically members of generation Z as well as the millennials, participated in this study in Sindh. The analysis method used was multi-regression analysis. The findings indicated that the Zakat literacy variable had a limited impact on Generation Z and Millennials' intentions to make zakat payments to zakat management organizations. While Generation Z and Millennials' intentions to contribute zakat to zakat management organizations are somewhat influenced by the factors of trust and accessibility of electronic payments. These three different research factors have an impact on Millennials and Generation Z's intentions to contribute zakat to zakat management organizations concurrently. Overall, 64.8% of the variance in the Y variable could be explained by three main research variables X.

Abstract

Global ecosystems are seriously threatened by climate change, which calls for creative mitigation strategies. In an effort to fill a knowledge vacuum on the subject, this paper investigates the relationship between arms control and climate change mitigation. Specifically, it looks at how arms control policies may boost climate resilience. The research utilizes a thorough literature assessment, incorporating past viewpoints on arms control and current approaches to mitigating climate change. Approach-wise, a qualitative study is carried out to evaluate the empirical and theoretical relationship between weapons control policies and climate change mitigation. Important conclusions show that some weapons control programs can favorably impact climatic outcomes, offering a little-considered option for tackling environmental and security issues. The policy implications highlight the necessity of a more integrated approach to environmental governance and security, and the creation of focused, interdisciplinary policies is emphasized in the recommendations for future research. This study adds to the current conversation on mitigating climate change by providing a fresh viewpoint that supports the double advantages of successful arms control policies in promoting environmental sustainability on a worldwide scale.

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationship between political economy and gender inequality in Pakistan. The study finds a disconnect between progressive legal measures and their successful implementation through a thorough investigation of policy papers, legislative records, and qualitative interviews. The results highlight the critical need for interventions that go beyond legal changes and have both theoretical and practical ramifications. In practical terms, the research suggests multifaceted approaches that take into account political and economic factors, question gender stereotypes, and encourage women's involvement in decision-making. Theoretically, it advances feminist political economy by highlighting the need of including social and cultural aspects in frameworks for economic policy. The main goal of policy interventions should be to establish a supportive atmosphere that promotes equality of opportunities and challenges gender conventions. In order to achieve gender equality in Pakistan, policymakers and practitioners are urged by this study to adopt a holistic plan.
