Abstract
The active participation by highly educated women in any income
generating activity plays a highly important role in ensuring sustainability
of economic growth rate. However, even in 21st century, educated women in
Pakistan are still a long way away from equal participation with men in
many fields. Universities can play an integral role in creating opportunities
for education and equitable employment. However, at university level,
women’s role in research is negligible across the world as well as in
Pakistan (European Commission, 2009). This may affect their career
advancement in higher education sectors. Therefore, this research study
focuses on analyzing women’s contribution in research in higher education
sectors in Pakistan and to find out the major impediments of the
underutilization of educated female human resource. The study has found
that personality traits have significant positive impact on women’s
involvement in research. However, due to the burden of domestic
responsibilities, women faculty has not been able to find time to engage in
research activities. Consequently, they stay fixated at junior level teaching
and lower management positions at university level.
