  • Title: Differences in household characteristics by income distribution in Pakistan.
    Author: Kazi S, Sathar ZA.
    Journal: Pak Dev Rev; 1985; 24(3-4):657-69. PubMed ID: 12340761.
    Abstract:
    The authors examine household characteristics by income distribution in Pakistan using data from the 1979 Population, Labour Force and Migration (PLM) Survey. Tabular data, organized by measures of income and expenditure, are presented on average household size, dependency ratios, average number of children and average number of adults, proportion of female household members, labor force participation rates for various ages, and occupational status of heads of households. The authors conclude that "the findings for Pakistan generally are in consonance with those for other Third World countries and confirm that certain characteristics are associated with poverty." Comments by Karol J. Krotki are also included (pp. 668-9).
