Abstract
Education play significant role in society development. Education is the
fundamental right of all human-beings but unluckily in Pakistan, female
education is still not given proper attention. Obviously, education plays a pivotal
role in bringing changes and development in societies. Therefore, the main
purpose of this article is to analyze the role of female education in national
economic development of Pakistan. This is a quantitative study, and we used
secondary data. The data is obtained from the World Development Indicators,
the World Bank. The results showed that female primary and secondary
education enrollment and female teachers have a positive correlation with
national economic development of Pakistan. Findings of this study suggest that
Government of Pakistan should increase expenditure on education sectors where
more focus to be given to female education in the country. The ultimate
consequences of improved female literacy would be women empowerment, which
will help decline in poverty through employment, elimination of income
inequality and an enlarged social consciousness for the improvement of life.
