Abstract

The Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, marked a pivotal moment in the nation's history and had profound implications for women's labor rights. This policy brief identifies the drastic reduction in women employment as a profound socioeconomic challenge, exacerbated by the de facto authority’s restrictive policies towards women in the workforce. The study uniquely focuses on the intersection of gender and labor rights after regime change, analyzing the growing barriers to women's employment, which not only undermines gender equality but also threatens the broader socioeconomic stability of Afghanistan. This study aims to propose practical policy recommendations that address these inequalities and advocate for international intervention to protect women's labor rights in Afghanistan. Author utilized qualitative analysis, drawing from diverse policy documents and reports, to understand Afghan women's lived experiences under the Taliban regime. Key findings reveal that the Taliban's governance post-2021 has led to significant setbacks in women's employment across various sectors, contributing to economic regression and deepening gender disparities. The brief urges for international financial support to women-led organizations and the promotion of online and home-based employment, alongside relocation programs and rigorous data monitoring for effective policymaking.

Abstract

The determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Pakistan remain a subject of ongoing debate, particularly regarding the relative influence of political stability compared to economic factors. This study investigates the interplay between political stability, trade liberalization, and macroeconomic factors in shaping FDI inflows in Pakistan from 1990 to 2023. Employing a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression on time-series data, this study evaluates the impact of political stability, trade liberalization, exports, imports, and inflation on FDI. The empirical findings indicate that political stability does not exert a statistically significant influence on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Pakistan, whereas export growth, trade liberalization, and price stability emerge as key determinants. A 1% increase in exports is associated with a 0.78% increase in FDI, underscoring the importance of economic fundamentals relative to political considerations. These results suggest that economic fundamentals may play a more decisive role in shaping FDI dynamics in the context of Pakistan. From a policy perspective, the findings underscore the importance of strengthening trade openness, promoting export diversification, and maintaining macroeconomic stability to improve the country’s investment environment. By examining the combined effects of several relatively underexplored determinants of FDI in Pakistan, this study contributes to the literature by providing additional empirical evidence on the drivers of foreign investment in developing economies facing similar structural and macroeconomic challenges.
