The population of the study comprised of 375 students of University of Engineering & Technology Mardan and Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan. Sample size was drawn with the help of Sekaran’s Magic table. Quota sampling technique was used for distribution of sample size among the selected categories of respondents. The Problem- behavior theory presented by Richard Jessor in 1960s for alcohol abuse and other problem behaviors among students is adopted as a theoretical framework for this study. The primary data was collected with the help ofa three point likert scale, close ended structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed and presented at bi-variate levels using Chi-Square test in order to determine relationship between dependent and independent variables. Among the linked factors: drug abusing parents, high socio-economic status of family, broken family structure, multiple mothering in early age, single parents, lack of family supervision, lack of familial support and lack of family interest in children’s decisions were significantly associated with student’s drug abuse and had a harmful effect on their academic performance. Parents should take keen interest in the activities of their children’swhich will be having fruitful outcomes for children’s. Parents should also monitor the routine activities of their children’s which will result in prevention of deviant behaviors among students. Henceforth, close communication among parents and children’s is required to identify and resolve issues pertaining to social life as a result children’s will feel home which will prevent them from drug abuse and other severe negative tendencies.","PeriodicalId":378534,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125480967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past few decades, China has been one of the biggest forces on the planet, from being an impoverished country disconnected from the global community. It is important to understand what drives Chinese foreign policy and how strong China will be in the future. Like several leaders before him, President Xi Jinping has stepped up commitments to expand China's global footprint by economic and political means. Many policy-makers argue that China's growth is imminent. It is clear from the extension of the military, social, economic, and diplomatic networks that China wants to improve its international community role. This review would analyze China's different policies to outline its development goals. Moreover, different scenarios are discussed to assume what Chinese future foreign policy priorities could entail for regional and worldwide players.","PeriodicalId":378534,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research","volume":"188 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132291402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pakistan being in search of growth also attempted to decentralize the financial authorities into lower tiers. Researchers empirically tested the various propositions of fiscal decentralization and this study is an addition in the literature while exploring the fiscal decentralization and gross investment nexus in case of Pakistan. The data period for underlying hypothesis ranged from 1985 to 2015. This study measured fiscal decentralization through fiscal transfers and the other control variables are, inflation and trade openness. The selected model is estimated by employing Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL). Fiscal transfers although has positive sign but statistically it is insignificant which suggest that theoretically it attract investment but statistically these impacts are insignificant. Allocation of delegated fund into irrelevant projects and the attitude of political leaders to delegate/devolve the financial powers are the probable reasons for these results. Inflation discourage investment in this study sample period and trade openness attract investment. In light of the findings of this study it is suggested that the government may allocate the fund properly, control inflation and open the borders for trade to attract investment in Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":378534,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127572083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In today’s world of specialization where micro enterprise not only play significant role in the form of entry to business world but also prove to serve as input provider to small, middle and large scale enterprises, and in addition to this micro enterprises have also become capable of innovation. In this context micro enterprises have started providing training and skill to the new entrants in the form of apprenticeship because hiring of skilled labor increases per unit cost of production. Hence training, apprentice and production of skilled labor at micro enterprises have not only strengthened the role of micro enterprises as a factor for economic development, but have also become an effective tool for social institutions. Hence this research is carried out with the objective to determine the role of micro enterprises in economic development and to assess the apprenticeship at micro enterprises as social institutionalization.
