Economic activities and unmarried labour
Journal Title: Economic Research-Ekonomska Istraživanja - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue 1
Abstract
This article aims to highlight the determinants that affect the labour force participation choice in the labour market, and the economic well-being of the single (unmarried) populace living in rural areas of Pakistan by utilising the Probit model. A sample of 6914 individuals has been selected from the Labour Force Survey of Pakistan 2012. Results indicate that education, age, family size and location are the major components affecting the labour force participation decision of unmarried labour in rural areas of Pakistan. Labour force participation of older people was found to be higher than for the young, while Education was found to negatively affect the labour force participation decision. The study also revealed that the participation rate of the unmarried labour force from Punjab and Sindh were high compared with the labour force living in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), which indicates the better social and economic awareness of the people of Punjab and Sindh as compare with Balochistan and KPK.
