Abstract

The paper discusses the impact of structural Adjustment policies on poor through labour market. It provides a brief review of the labour market of Pakistan in 90�s and presents the current estimates of labour market indicators including unemployment and under-employment. The linkages between poverty and labour market are developed through workers activity. To establish these linkages, most recent data i.e. Pakistan Socio-economic Survey 1998-99 is utilised. Major findings include the strong linkages between poverty and labour market activity of the workers. Moreover, evidence links existing deteriorating conditions of workers with structural reforms.
