Abstract
Islamic Traditional Values: Towards Women Empowerment and Housing Microfinance in Pakistan
Highlights
The roles of women have evolved with the urbanizing world, conventional house designs have failed to accommodate the spatial needs of the contemporary woman
There are numerous NGOs in Pakistan working towards women entrepreneurship but there is a disconnect between entrepreneurship, Islamic traditional values and empowerment
This paper will try to build an assembly for women empowerment through the outcomes of entrepreneurship and their involvement in household decisions based on Islamic traditional values
Summary
Pakistan’s poor people, like their counterparts in other developing countries, are exposed to housing shortages. The 1980 housing census shows that the housing units in Pakistan increased only by 2.1% with a 3% population increase. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) shows that residential plot development rate and infrastructural facilities provision were inadequate to meet the increasing demand. Due to elevated inflation of building materials on the demand side, the ability of poor people to afford and find a method to construct a house has been significantly lowered.[5]
