The Gender Differences in School Enrolment and Returns to Education in Pakistan

Abstract: Using estimates of schooling demand function and private rate of return to education by gender derived from Household Integrated Economic Survey 2010-11, this paper attempts to examine if there is any dynamics to define a differential behaviour across gender in enrolment in Pakistan and if there is then what can be the possible cause of such discrepancies and how can they be reduced.

“…The Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) Survey (2014-2015) reports the literacy rate for males during 2015 was 70% and for females, 49%, one of the lowest in the world (Memon, 2007).
