Index of Freedom fromWant The fifth indicator is the prevalence of unemployment in women. According to Pakistan Labor Force Survey(LFS) 2020-21, the unemployment rate for women in Pakistan is 6.31%, somewhat higher than that for male workers. The sixth indicator of the status of women is the female employment to population rate. World Bank reports female employment to population ratio in Pakistan as 22.1% in 2020­21. This shows that out of the entire female population of working age, which is normally defined as age between 15 to 64 years, only about one-fifth of women are employed in 2020-21. However, this indicator is also improving in Pakistan. The last indicator of the status of women in Pakistan is the life expectancy. The life expectancy at birth for females in Pakistan as of 2020-21 is 69.1 years, which is lower than the worldwide average of 72.6 years.
