Abstract
Female labour force in Pakistan has not so far been fully utilized mainly because of unorganized supply, inadequate economic incentives and other socio-cultural constraints and inhibitions. A number of women organizations have addressed to the training of women in different domestic and commercial skills. A study of some selected industrial homes with a view to evaluating the working environment of these centres has suggested a number of weaknesses and constraints. The training programmes of these centers both in the urban and rural areas were found to be unsatisfactory, especially in terms of training materials, trainers, space and accommodation. The paper suggests that strengthening of these industrial homes on scientific lines can go a long way in making our women folk economically highly productive.
