Abstract

This paper looks at the conditions of the informal sector working women of Bahawalpur city in southern Punjab in the perspective of Labour Protection Policy of the Government of Pakistan. It is thus as much a study of the working conditions of informal labour as of the rule of law. We have quoted the relevant law and conventions signed and made into law by the Government of Pakistan and we have documented the condition of the informal sector working women. Labour legislation for the informal sector is completely divorced from its implementation.

Keywords: Labor policy, Informal sector, Working women
