GENESIS OF REPORT ………………………………………………………………..…………….. 27 iii iv PREFACE Census of (Large Scale) Manufacturing Industries (CMI) is conducted by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) in collaboration with Provincial Directorates of Industries and Bureaus of Statistics (BOS) under the Industrial Statistics Act 1942 and General Statistics Act 1975. CMI is conducted after five years and this report is for the year 2005-06. The CMI measures production, structural changes of Large-Scale Manufacturing Industries (LSMI) and provides data on quantities and values of inputs and outputs, census value added, contribution to GDP, fixed assets, stocks, employment & employment cost and industrial taxes. It takes into account the new developments in the industrial field, captures new industrial products and establishments and develops new weights for Production Index of Manufacturing. CMI covers manufacturing establishments which are registered or qualify for registration under Factories Act 1934. Defense and government workshops engaged in manufacturing activities registered under Factories Act are excluded. We are making all out efforts to improve industrial statistics. The CMI 2005-06 report was published earlier with province-wise disaggregation. This report carries the work further and gives disaggregation of data at district level for some important key indicators. It is expected that the district level data will be useful to data users and researcher. Suggestions in this respect from the users will always be welcomed and appreciated. DR.

We compiled the spatial distribution of six aspects of ecological value for geographical targeting of conservation priority areas. A Geographic Information System (GIS) based overlay analysis of ecological dynamics was carried out. Indices for forest cover, vegetation zones, endemic mammals, highly significant wetlands, bird species richness and mammal species richness were developed by compiling the secondary data into Geographic Information System. Analytical hierarchy process was used to weight these indicators and also multi-attribute utility theory to combine them into a single spatial layer of ecological value. On the basis of these indices each district was ranked within its respective province/administrative territory. The results highlighted ranking of districts in order of their ecological significance within the province for all the provinces/administrative territories. The study is a pioneer study to identify administrative areas of high ecological value and can guide in setting the conservation priorities. The current broad scale study can help decision makers in provincial level policy making.

  • Empirical Essays on Migration and Remittances in Pakistan
    Empirical Essays on Migration and Remittances in Pakistan A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics at University of East Anglia, United Kingdom. Abdul Rehman 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognize that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. i ABSTRACT In this dissertation, we develop four essays to analyse several aspects of migration for Pakistan on the basis of household level panel and cross-sectional data from 1986 to 2007. The aspects analysed are decision to migrate domestically and internationally, financing of migration, decision to send remittances and spill-over effects on remittances. These essays are presented in Chapters four through seven. Other chapters include a general introduction, literature review and concluding remarks and policy discussions. Chapter four (essay one) studies the determinants of the two locational migrations (internal-and- international migration) using discrete choice models. The study begins by investigating migration as a whole and then looks at the more disaggregate choice. On the snapshot of migration as a whole we detect an intriguing size-composition effect on the household’s probability of migration: the larger the household, the greater the probability of migration. On the other hand, the more dependants a household has (in terms of the number of children and young females), the less likely it is to have migrant member.

ISSN 1567-214x. Keywords: Educational status, Education disparities, Punjab. ABSTRACT: Present study investigates the status of education and educational disparities across the districts of Punjab. There are 36 districts in Punjab province; we have calculated Education Index (EI) for thirty-five districts of Punjab, one district Chiniot is excluded due to some data constraints. Districts have been ranked based on their values of EI. The results of our study indicate that huge educational disparities exist in terms of EI across the districts of Punjab. Some districts like Rawalpindi and Lahore have high educational status with high EI values whereas some districts like Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Dera Gazi Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, Lodhran and Rajanpur are lagging behind education with low EI values. Moreover, districts that have more distance from two capital cities Islamabad and Lahore have lower EI values. It indicates that may public provision of social services have remained in favor of those districts that are much closer to capital cities as compared to other districts.

  • Female Madrasas in Pakistan: a Response to Modernity
    Religions and Development Research Programme Female Madrasas in Pakistan: a Response to Modernity Masooda Bano Wolfson College, University of Oxford Working Paper 45 - 2010 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: z How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? z How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? z In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems. The research projects will compare two or more of the focus countries, regions within the countries, different religious traditions and selected development activities and policies.
