dc.description.abstractGrowth of manufacturing in Pakistan and the provinces is analyzed in terms of changes at national and provincial levels, mainly from 1969-70 (after restoration of provinces) to the year 2005-06. To measure the industrial growth two significant structural variables i.e. average daily employment (ADE) and value added (VA) have been employed. In Pakistan manufacturing employment increased continuously but was marked by high and low growth rates. After nationalization of industry in 1972, the growth rate declined to the lowest ever (0.80 per cent) over the decade 1969-70 to 1979-80. The revival of manufacturing through private initiative gave a boost which became pronounced in the period 2001 to 2006, attaining an exceptionally high average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 7.22 percent. Punjab witnessed remarkable growth of ADE, almost 150 per cent increase during the period 1969-70 to 2005-06. Sindh recorded continuous growth, especially with 2.35 per cent growth ratein the year 2005-06. Both in N.W.F.P. (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Balochistan progress in manufacturing was slow and marked by fluctuations in industrial employment from time to time. High increases in VA were continuously recorded throughout the past sixty years with an AAGR from 22.90 percent, the lowest during the decade 1990-91 to 2000-01, to that of 43.21 percent for the five-year period, 2000-01 to 2005-06. In Punjab the growth pattern of VA was similar to that of Pakistan with high growth rates in various period.
