SUMMARY of the Article “A Caring Economy,” by Samia Liaquat Ali Khan, Dawn, July 25th, 2024

The article “A Caring Economy” by Samia Liaquat Ali Khan, published in Dawn on July 25th, 2024, addresses the disproportionate burden of caregiving placed on women and its impact on their participation in the labor force, particularly in South Asia. The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Global Gender Gap Report highlights how this imbalance caused female labor force participation rates to drop during and immediately after the Covid pandemic, with only recent improvements. Research by the World Bank indicates that extended maternity leave often leads to women not returning to work, while extended paternity leave for men positively influences women’s re-entry into the labor market. In Pakistan, many companies are hesitant to employ women due to perceived short-term financial costs and the need for ‘special’ treatment in a male-dominated environment. Women face numerous barriers to entering and staying in the workforce, including discriminatory job advertisements and interview practices, societal expectations regarding marriage and motherhood, and lack of support at home. As a result, women often leave the workforce, leading to a significant gender disparity in senior management positions. The article argues that societal perceptions of gender roles need fundamental reconfiguration, emphasizing the undervalued but crucial nature of care work. Economists Naila Kabeer and Nancy Folbre have highlighted the economic productivity of care work, which enhances human capabilities but is poorly compensated. The article suggests rewarding men for caregiving roles and providing better economic opportunities for women. Policies like flexible work hours, child care options, mandated paternity leave, and encouraging men’s involvement in caregiving are » Read More…

SUMMARY of the Article “Urban Flooding,” by Dr Noman Ahmed, Dawn, July 25th, 2024

The article by Dr. Noman Ahmed addresses the critical issue of urban flooding in Karachi, particularly in light of the expected torrential rains in early August. Various government tiers, including the chief minister and the president, have emphasized the need for immediate and effective preparations to mitigate the damage caused by flooding. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) is tasked with managing the main storm drains but faces significant challenges due to limited financial and technical resources. One of the primary causes of urban flooding is the uncoordinated real estate development, especially in areas designated for livestock rearing, urban farming, and forestation. Anti-encroachment efforts have largely failed to improve water drainage. Historically, Karachi’s development, including its storm drainage system, was well-planned during the British colonial period, integrating land surveys and rainfall assessments to manage rainwater effectively. However, these practices were not institutionalized post-independence, leading to the current dysfunction. The idea of using the sewerage system for rainwater disposal is also problematic due to the informal settlements along major nullahs. Illegal sand mining, encroachments, and the dumping of solid waste have further disrupted the natural and manmade storm drains, reducing their capacity. The article underscores the need for comprehensive solutions, including regular maintenance of drainage systems, prevention of waste dumping, strengthening of embankments, dredging of watercourses, and the separation of sewerage from drainage systems.

SUMMARY of the Article “Giving up is good sometimes,” by Rafia Zakaria, Dawn, July 24th, 2024

The article explores the notion of giving up through the lens of President Joe Biden’s decision to not seek re-election for a second term. This surprising move by the leader of the world’s most powerful nation serves as a starting point to discuss the broader theme of relinquishing goals or positions that one has worked for all their life. The piece highlights the rarity of powerful individuals voluntarily stepping down, as such roles often lead to a belief in their own indispensability. The central question revolves around knowing when to hold on and when to let go, even if it seems counterintuitive. People often justify quitting through various rationalizations, but the true challenge lies in recognizing when continuing is futile or harmful. The article uses the example of a neurosurgeon who, despite extensive training and a prestigious career, chose to leave the profession due to the moral injury of failing to relieve patient suffering. This narrative underscores that decisions to quit can be complex and » Read More…

 SUMMARY of the article “Crisis of Governability,” by Umair Javed, Dawn, July 22nd, 2024

In the article “Crisis of Governability,” Umair Javed explores the deteriorating control of the Pakistani state over its political and economic landscape, as analyzed by scholars Adeel Malik and Maya Tudor. They predict a deepening ‘crisis of governability,’ marked by the current regime’s low societal acceptance and diminishing ability to enforce its agenda. Actions such as coercion against PTI members, Imran Khan’s continued incarceration, and manipulation of the 2024 elections have led to widespread unpopularity and mistrust in the regime, extending to the military establishment. Economically, despite some positive indicators, public perception remains grim due to plummeting real wages and limited growth opportunities, exacerbated by rising taxes and electricity tariffs. The state is perceived as only proficient in self-benefiting practices, failing to achieve sustained economic growth or meaningful reforms. The regime’s struggle is evident in its inability to manipulate election outcomes effectively, with the judiciary emerging as a site of resistance. Scholars attribute this crisis to societal changes like » Read More…

 SUMMARY of the Article “Education Crisis,” by Nazir A. Jogezai, Dawn, July 22nd, 2024

The article discusses the recent decision by the Balochistan government to increase the budget for higher education institutions (HEIs), which is expected to resolve long-standing issues, such as delayed salaries for employees and the introduction of full scholarships for PhD students under the Benazir Bhutto Scholarship Programme. Despite this positive development, the article highlights the ongoing crisis in the governance and management of HEIs in Balochistan, exacerbated by financial collapse and a heavy reliance on aid and grants. Mismanagement has led to spending on construction and salaries, with little investment in profit-making ventures, human development, or research. This has resulted in HEIs becoming financially unstable and unable to contribute effectively to society. The crisis is attributed to various stakeholders, including lawmakers, policy makers, and university administrations, who have prioritized quantity over quality, leading to financial mismanagement and demoralized teaching faculty. The article criticizes the increasing use of contractual staff, reduction in remunerations, rising student fees, and limited scholarships, which have further weakened the HEIs. It calls for a shift towards rational resource utilization, academic management, and profit generation, rather than expansion into remote areas. The article also emphasizes the need for the Higher Education Commission » Read More…
