Provincial economic disparities in Pakistan are often
discussed in political circles. Recently, these disparities have also
caught the attention of economic planners. I However, very few
professional studies have analysed the issue due to paucity of
inter-provincial data. Moreover, the existing studies base their
analysis on cross-sectional data obtained from various sources and
cannot be used to analyse disparities in economic growth and its
sources.2 The purpose of present paper is to provide an initial
contribution to the analysis of provincial economic changes in Pakistan.
Employment growths in the manufacturing sectors of Punjab and Sindh are
analysed for the period 1980-87. Regional differences in employment
growth are usually attributed to differences in industrial structure and
also to differential impacts of regional-specific influences
(infra-structure, policies, political situation, etc.) that determine
competitiveness of a region. The present study analyses these two
components of growth for Sindh and Punjab in order to explain
differential growth in these provinces. Such an analysis is useful for
provincial planning as it may help plan for a balanced
growth.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Groups most severely affected by COVID-19 have tended to be those marginalised before the pandemic and are now being largely ignored in developing responses to it. This two-volume set of Rapid Responses explores the urgent need to put co-production and participatory approaches at the heart of responses to the pandemic and demonstrates how policymakers, health and social care practitioners, patients, service users, carers and public contributors can make this happen. The second volume focuses on methods and means of co-producing during a pandemic. It explores a variety of case studies from across the global North and South and addresses the practical considerations of co-producing knowledge both now - at a distance - and in the future when the pandemic is over
