Zusammenfassung:Despite convincing evidence of disparities in the provincial labour force, no satisfactory measure of human capital stock at the provincial level presently exists for Pakistan. This paper is motivated to fill the gap in policy analysis by estimating the human capital index (HCI) at the provincial level from 1982-83 to 2003-04. The accumulated human capital is estimated using the labour-income-based methodology. Using data from the respective Labour Force Surveys, the index is computed for three sectors of the economy: Agriculture, manufacturing, and services. (Pak Development Rev/GIGA)
