 Well my dear students, the course is Labour Policy Pakistan and the topic in hand is ILO and Labour Market Governance and Working Conditions in Pakistan. The constitution particularly the 18th Amendment Act 2010 has my dear students brought sweeping changes in labour administration of Pakistan with several functions previously performed by a federal government devolving to the provinces with the responsibility of legislating and administering of labour laws. My dear students, a strong labour market governance drives business. Business confidence and investment at high level and is essential to establish a well functioning labour market in Pakistan. My dear students, you will be enlightened to know that Pakistan has ratified two important governance related conventions namely labour inspection convention number 81 and tripartite consultation convention number 144. These conventions provide a strong foundation for development of an effective labour inspection system to meet the growing challenges of globalization and economic liberalization. Pakistan context main, my dear students, you will be enlightened to know that predominantly labour administration is devolved to the provincial governments in Pakistan. In Pakistan there are five provinces Punjab, Sindh, Khyber, Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Gilgat, Baltistan including two regions that is Islamabad Capital Territory and Pakistani administered Kashmir. Dear students, you will be enlightened to know that the four provinces Punjab, Sindh, Kepike and Balochistan have much established system as regards the labour while the two regions are in process of evolving their system. You will be more enlightened to know that the provincial government of Kepike is in process to put in place labour administration system in the seven newly emerged districts formerly known as federally administered tribal areas. The provincial department of labour do have elaborate labour inspection machinery, training facilities and are supported by administrative and judicial mechanisms to ensure compliance and address violations of labour legislation. Dear students in federal government and each of the four provinces there are tripartite consultative committees to advise mayors on labour administration to the provinces. Hope you have understood the topic. Thank you very much indeed.
