Introduction Gender Inequalities in Pakistan w

omen are

Less fed

Low health status

Less educated

Less mobile

Located in low paid jobs

Wage rate is low

Market work under estimated

Household work is completely ignored

Over loaded by Work

Bias in Intrahousehold Allocation of Resources

Bias in Division of Labour Constraints Men and Women Face Differ

Policy Effects

Trade Liberalization and Gender Effects

Change in structure of employment and prices

Consumption

Incidence of poverty- time, capability, income

Objective

The objective of the present study is to measure gender dimensions of effects of Trade Liberalization in Pakistan using a comprehensive frame work that takes into account:

Market work, household work, leisure

Men and Women Labour

Consumption of men and women Measure effects using gender based poverty

indicators

Development of Gender Aware CGE

1. Production – Integrate market and non-market sectors 2. Labour by gender 3. Rigidities 4. Consumption by Gender 5. Poverty Indicators by Gender 7

DATA Construction of Gender SAM 1. Traditional SAM-based on market economy 2. Integration of Market Economy and Household Economy 3. Female Participation Adjusted with new data 4. SNA Classification is used to Categorize market, household, and leisure 5. Evaluation of Non Market Work —Opportunity cost of labor

8

Assumptions

All activities are separable Minimum time required for self care is 10Hours/d Rest of the hours/d are distributed between Market, Household and Leisure activities Households Produced Goods are consumed by Households themselves 9

Structure of SAM-1990

Market Sector (20)—Agriculture (5) , Industry ( 9) Services ( 7) Non Market Sectors(18)— Nine categories of households are identified with nine social reproduction sectors and nine leisure sectors Factors of Production—Labor (8)—Grouped by Gender and education —Capital By Sector Households(9)—4 Urban by education level of hh and 5 Rural by Gender and then male head hh by employment status.

10

Salient Features of Gender SAM

1. It makes invisibility of women's household work visible. 2. Hidden market work: Improved female participation- female participation in the market is over 50 % instead of 12% 3. Female labour increases from 3.1 million (OLD) to about 15 million

Time Allocation between market and non market activities

• It is assumed that non market sectors, leisure and reproduction, behaves like market sectors.

• Household consume all goods produced social reproduction and leisure • Price of non market goods is the opportunity cost of labor used in these activities.

• Market rigidities are introduced by keeping low elasticities of substitution 21

Consumption of Market and Non-Market Goods Maximizing Stone-Geary utility function • S.t

• Income constraint • Time constraint 22

Other Features of the MODEL

Goods with same sectoral classification are different in qualities for domestic markets and foreign markets.

Imports and domestically produced goods are imperfect substitutes.

CES and CET transformation functions possibilities describe reflecting respectively, for the above two functions.

substitution empirical and realities,

Model is calibrated to SAM data using parameters estimated from SAM and econometrically estimated elasticities.

Model is solved using GAMS software.

Closure

 CAB and Nominal exchange rate are constant and real exchange rate adjust to keep the balance.  Government consumption and Investment are kept fixed in real term for welfare and poverty analysis.

 Savings equal Investment 24

Conclusion

• Revenue Neutral Trade Liberalization • benefit more to women by increasing • Market Employment of unskilled worker • Wage income of women more than men Harmful as • Division of labor remains unequal and Women becomes more time poor Trade Liberalization, Poverty and Welfare • Head Count Ratio Reduces at the national level increases in rural, decreases in urban area – Trade Liberalization and Welfare • Welfare improves when measured at consumption level of market goods • Deteriorate- with reduction in consumption of market and non market goods 34

Conclusion

TL and Poor

– – – – – –

Increase Work Load on women relative to Men Deteriorate capabilities — FLR > MLR Increase income poverty among women relative to men Increase time poverty by reducing leisure time Welfare improves - Consumption of market goods only Welfare deteriorate - consumption of both market and non-market goods TL and Rich

– – – –

TL is Gender Neutral for Rich Households Remittances neutralize negative effects of trade liberalization Welfare Improves with consumption of market goods Welfare does not change with total consumption (market and non market goods) — work load increases and leisure reduces)

35

Policy Implications

• Complementary Policies • Reduce Tax on basic need • Transfer payments • Poverty Targeted Program • Public Investment in Social Sector • Migration – Remittance • Household Responsibility must be share by men 36
