Abstract
Economic development policies pursued during the sixties have glaringly failed to provide sufficient employment for the exploding labour force of Pakistan. Employment creation has only recently been recognised as a major development problem along with income distribution and has consequently become the main focus of attention for the policy makers and planners. The purpose of this paper is to inquire how far the assumption that unemployment and under-utilisation of labour would gradually disappear with economic growth is borne out by the evidence available for the third and fourth plan periods and to quantify, as far as possible, the employment created during this period.
