Abstract
Gender Disparity is vehemently observed in every sphere of life all over the
world. However, the rate and intensity varies from one region to the other.
It has been observed that gender disparity is quite vivid in developing
countries of the world. The reason is that economic pursuits and chances
are not equal in those countries. Therefore, the economic burden is usually
on the shoulders of men folk. The women are usually assigned women
chores taking care of household assignments. Therefore, they are of lesser
importance because their nature of job is considered unproductive and less
measured. Pakistan is one of the developing countries of the world, hence as
in almost all developing countries of the world, in Pakistan also women are
generally relegated and neglected segment of society. As a result, gender
disparity and gender discrimination is a common phenomenon. The present
paper attempts to evaluate the status of women and causes of women
disparity. The main focus of the paper is on Pakistan but the discussion has
been made as per situation in developing countries of the world.
