AB  - Pakistan, during the past more than four
decades has experienced multiple challenges with regard
to the standard of life of its people, in general and of its
labor force, in particular. The policies framed in the
country from time to time lacked effectiveness in terms of
providing reasonable relief to the labor who continues to
live under hard conditions. These policies are one issue
while their implementation is the second and also more
important. Legislation concerning policy formulation and
its implementation is closely linked to legislation at
parliamentary level. Parliament is the platform where
legislation reflects the political will towards law-making
directed at influencing the life standard of inter alia, the
country’s labor force. This study will attempt to explore
the share of the political will in affecting the standard of
life of the labor in Pakistan where circumstances for the
labor-force are highly challenging and deplorable. This is
going on at a time when in the developed world the
standard of life of the labor-force (which term is now
almost obsolete after being replaced with ‘workforce’,
‘human resource’, ‘human capital’ or ‘human asset’) is
very differently better as compared to the one continuing
in Pakistan.
