 Literature Review
labor market discrimination is said to arise when two identically productive
workers are treated different by grounds of workers race gender, when race or
gender do not have themselves an effect on productivity. Alton & blank
1999:Heckman 1998)

There are several ways of conducting this decomposition of the observed gender
wage gap; for instance Oaxaca (1973) provides a leading example. (Gender

DATA COLLECTION & METHODLOGY
My study focus is on gender discrimination in Pakistan. Employees having same

qualities are treated differently. Employee feels discouragement. This is a hurdle

in the way of Pakistan progress.

For my study I have collected the data from previous history of gender

discrimination. I also make interview of people & my personal observations are

also in this research proposal
