Major Gender Gaps in Pakistan
Gender Gaps
Regional Conference on Public Sector Management in Support of the MDGs June 13-15
Adult literacy rate for both men and women is only 55.5% whereas its dismally low (34%) for women in rural areas
Unemployment rate for women is 8.9% as against 5.1% for men
1.8% of women working as legislators, senior officials and managers as compared to 14.8% men) between 2009-10, and women held seats in Parliament ( 22.20% in 2008-09).
Empirical evidence for growing levels of violence against women exists which include abduction, honour killing, rape, acid attacks, murder and domestic violence
According to a National NGO, 6.74% increase in incidents of violence against women noticed in 2011 as compared to 2010.
Achievements in Gender Statistics Data ExistsGoP is committed towards gender equality and
women empowerment. Pakistan is signatory to several International commitments like CEDAW 1996 , Beijing Platform for Action and various ILO conventions.
PSLM introduced in 2004-05 for monitoring MDGs produces provincial/district level sex disaggregated information.
Labour Force Survey, Census reports, Pakistan demographic survey, Pakistan demographic health surveys also produce sex disaggregated information.
PBS also publish “Compendium on Gender Statistics”(every five years)
Time use survey has been conducted by PBS in 2007 and report has been published
Regional Conference on Public Sector Management in Support of the MDGs June 13-15
Data DisseminationMicro or raw data is disseminated after finalization
of report for research and analysis purpose.
Published reports (PSLM, Labour Force Survey, Time use survey, District Census) are available with PBS.

Examples of Data used in developing gender responsive
programs
Data MonitoringPakistan Bureau of Statistics(PBS) is responsible for collection,
processing and tabulation of most of the indicators.
14 out of 37 MDG indicators are monitored by PSLM Surveys, which is a regular activity of this bureau since 2004-05 and will continue till 2015.
Labour force Survey(LFS) monitors indicators of MDG regarding Labour force Participation and Unemployment
Pakistan Demographic Survey (PDS) is also a regular activity of PBS
Pakistan Demographic Health Survey(PDHS) conducted by National Institute of Population Studies(NIPS) monitors data especially on reproductive health issues
In upcoming Census, efforts are underway to collect and present gender disaggregated data on all major indicators

Challenges/Constraints in Data FlowNo legal framework for gender statistics.No national/provincial plans for the collection,
dissemination and utilization of Gender Statistics.Insufficient data for monitoring and reporting progress
on women development programs and policies.Lack of data on issues like poverty, on-farm gender
division of labour, violence against women, and household responsibilities, etc.
Lack of coordination (departments and ministries).Limited utilization of data for policy making and
planning.

Delay in publishing data.Lack of user friendly data.Limited capacity in analyzing and presenting
data at the national and provincial level.Lack of resources, both human and financial.No emphasis on data dissemination and
communication.Post 18th amendment Education, Health,
Population Welfare, women development and Agriculture are provincial subjects – no proper data collection strategies at provincial level.
Challenges/Constraints in Data Flow
RecommendationsLegislation and effective implementation of law for gender statistics is
required.Improved coordination and linkages amongst Planning, Finance and
PBS.Capacity building of producers and users in data analysis and
utilization.User friendly data dissemination. Regular interaction between users and producers for feedback and
utilization of data.Demand for evidence based policy making needs to be created.Introduction of methodologies and data collection tools for improved
qualitative research in gender specific issues.Opportunities exist at provincial and national level to connect data
collection, policy development under the new economic growth strategy.
