Helpdesk Report: The Teacher Labour Market in Pakistan

Abstract

This report undertakes a rapid review of existing literature and summarises some key evidence on the teacher labour market in South Asia. It specifically focuses on salaries and conditions of teachers in the low-fee private sector in contexts where these sectors are a significant part of the education system. In doing so, this review aims to help inform the development of DFID’s policy position on the minimum wage legislation in Pakistan as it may pertain to teachers, specifically in the private schooling sector (specifically the low-fee sector and among other non-state actors).
