Abstract

Education is an essential factor of economic growth and a fundamental right of every person. No country can attain sustainable economic growth without substantial investment in education. Education improves technical capabilities of exploring new ideas and innovations. It improves the quality of life and leads to collective benefits to individuals and societies. In this study, we investigate the impact of female education on the economic growth of Pakistan by adopting the methodology of the simple Ordinary Least Squares regression with time spanning from 1990 to 2016. OLS regression results show that 1% increase in female education, female labour force participation, education expenditure and fertility rate causes 96% increase in GDP of Pakistan. Female education has a significant and positive impact on economic growth. Female education has a positive relationship with female labour force participation rate. The female labour force is dramatically increasing the economic growth. The policy recommendation is that government should allocate more of its budget on education and make efforts for improvement of the quality of education at different levels. The fertility rate has a negative relationship with female education and economic growth. Female education can reduce fertility rate and play a magnificent role in economic growth of Pakistan.
巴基斯坦女性教育在经济增长中的作用:1990-2016年的时间序列分析
教育是经济增长的重要因素,也是每个人的基本权利。没有一个国家能够在没有大量教育投资的情况下实现可持续的经济增长。教育提高了探索新思想和创新的技术能力。它提高了生活质量,给个人和社会带来了集体利益。在本研究中,我们采用简单的普通最小二乘回归方法,研究了女性教育对巴基斯坦经济增长的影响,时间跨度为1990年至2016年。OLS回归结果显示,女性受教育程度、女性劳动力参与率、教育支出和生育率每提高1%,巴基斯坦GDP就会增长96%。女性教育对经济增长有显著的积极影响。女性受教育程度与女性劳动力参与率呈正相关。女性劳动力极大地促进了经济增长。政策建议是政府应该将更多的预算用于教育,并努力提高各级教育的质量。生育率与女性受教育程度和经济增长呈负相关。女性教育可以降低生育率,并在巴基斯坦的经济发展中发挥巨大作用。
