Rashid Munir Kahloon
Abstract
Female occupational segregation at work place limits the growth opportunities for women in Pakistan. Social and cultural patterns make the male managers to perceive women as weak creatures, less capacitated to handle the stress at work place. These sets of perception also lead to the unequal distribution of resources between male and female and also impede the growth opportunities for women in Pakistan. Indeed gender inequality is one of the arguments underlying the support for female at workforce throughout the world, but the fact is that the females have the potential to contribute to economic performance of the organization. This paper aims at exploring various dimensions of the corporate social responsibility phenomenon to see the possibilities of linking the concept dimensions to strengthening the women’s position both professionally and socially which eventually may result in the overall socio-economic development of the country.
