Low levels of female participation in Pakistan have been widely debated among academics and policymakers. Using a formal mathematical investigation through the shift-share analysis and empirical investigation through a multiple regression analysis, the study finds out that overall labour force participation rate declined for men and risen up for females between 2002-2015 in Pakistan but the increase in women inclusion is substantially lower in urban than rural areas. Additionally, the increase in the supply of highly educated females does not upshot participation towards the upper end of the labour market. Major determinants identified by the empirical analysis that affect female inclusion in workforce rate include real per capita GDP, poverty level, the unemployment rate of females, fertility rate and female literacy rate. Thus, inclusion of females in the workforce is imperative as it not only fuels the socio-economic development but also initiates progress nationally
