Wage Gap Among Urban Natives And Rural-Urban Migrants In Pakistan, Muhammad Umair, Lubna Naz

CBER Conference

Pakistan has a total labor force of 65.5 million in 2019. According to the Labour Force Survey 2017-18, more than one-third of the labor force is working in urban areas, and one-tenth comprises rural-urban migrants. It is evident that rural-urban migration increases labor supply in the urban labor market and consequently causes a reduction in wages, particularly for unskilled and semi-skilled workers. This study makes the first attempt to evaluate the wage gap among urban native and rural-urban migrant workers using a sample of 12,302 workers, comprising 10,793 urban natives and 1,509 rural-urban migrants, extracted from the latest Labour Force …

As Sacred, As Sustainable: The Normative Dimension Of Sustainable Economics, Amana Raquib, Omar Javaid, Gulnaz Anjum

CBER Conference

The self-esteem, self-image and subsequently self-worth of young consumers all around the globe, are determined by unsustainable consumption habits. This is equally true for Muslim youth who are as vulnerable to the pressure of building their self-image as consumers. This has led to adverse effects on the ecosystem and therefore, goes against the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (Goal no. 6,7,11-15). This paper argues that by changing the criterion to gauge and establish their self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth, we can influence the degree of sustainability of the consumption patterns of young Muslim individuals. This would subsequently undo the undue pressure …
