Youth & Women Economic Empowerment
The Pakistan Economic Research & Training Center (PERTC) is committed to promoting economic empowerment for youth and women. Our research focuses on identifying barriers to participation, promoting entrepreneurship, and supporting inclusive economic opportunities for all.
PERTC collaborates with policymakers, educational institutions, private sector, and civil society to design initiatives that enhance skills, increase employability, and encourage entrepreneurship among youth and women.
By integrating evidence-based research with policy advocacy, PERTC contributes to building an inclusive economy where youth and women can participate fully and sustainably.
Barriers Assessment & Strategic Insights
PERTC conducts detailed analysis of the challenges faced by youth and women in accessing education, skills training, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities. Our research identifies systemic barriers and emerging opportunities to enhance inclusion.
