Labour Force Jaffarabad
The civilian labour force (working and looking for work) constitutes - according to the 1981 census - 29 percent of the total population. However, actual male and female labour force participation statistics are not available. The 1981 census report on Balochistan does not cover the Nasirabad sub-division (now Jaffarabad), therefore, it is difficult to analyze it specifically. Women are actively engaged as labourers in support of household, agriculture, poultry / livestock rearing and construction duties, but clear statistics are not available.
