  • Title: Comments on "Determinants of the Supply of Women in the Labour Market: a Micro Analysis".
    Author: Al-jalali SZ.
    Journal: Pak Dev Rev; 1991; 30(4 Pt 2):765-6. PubMed ID: 12285312.
    Abstract:
    The author finds the paper to have made an important contribution in the field of information about women based on primary data, especially given that gaps exist in data disaggregated sex-wise for the labor force. Reservations are, however, raised about the title and the analysis. The title should have more specifically indicated that the study sample came from the poor settlements of Rawalpindi. It is difficult to generalize from such a narrowly- defined sample base. Moreover, income levels should have been used instead of simply "poor". The urban characteristics of these women should have been stated; information should have been given on the specific types of jobs women took; households should have been described beyond the basis of size; and the statement that greater education will facilitate the entry of women into the labor market should be qualified.
