Karachi The role of women in contributing to the economy can never be denied and can only be buttressed by giving them more opportunities to learn.
These views were expressed by Dr Ishrat Hussain, the dean and director of Institute of Business Administration while inaugurating International Women Leaders’ Summit organised by the New World Concepts on Tuesday.
Husain said that studies had established that girls performed better than boys in academics. “In my own institution, out of the 11 top positions only one went to a boy,” he said. “During my tenure at the State Bank of Pakistan my best employees were girls.”
However, he lamented, despite the rosy statistics it was sad that 80 percent of Pakistani women between the ages of 15 and 64 years were not part of the country’s workforce.
