Problems of Working Women in Karachi, Pakistan (2nd Edition)

The second edition of Problems of Working Women in Karachi, Pakistan is the result of extensive original research on working women in Karachi. The women interviewed and surveyed belong to three categories: managerial, clerical, and domestic workers. The book shows that women in each category are the victims of a gender-biased society in different ways. The findings are explained with clear charts and graphs and updated information. Due to inflation, more and more women in Pakistan are seeking paid employment, which adds greater challenges even in fields dominated by female workers—and even when working under a female boss, which can create tough competition. Case studies and examples are taken from the real world and suggestions from senior working women are included so that women can directly apply the findings of this book to their circumstances and can solve their issues. This is the only book to supply full information about Muslim working women living in this underdeveloped country, who are fighting for their survival in a male-dominated society. It is a must-read book for students, academics, researchers, and all those who are interested in learning about the issues covered. The book is packed with information explained in simple and easy to understand language with graphs, personal interviews, and case studies.
