The Consortium Development Policy Research and the International Growth Center (IGC) hosted a session of the Lahore Policy Exchange on “Minorities and access to Economic Opportunities” on the 3rd of May 2019. The lack of human rights protection makes Pakistan one of the worst countries for religious and ethnic minority groups. These groups are not only marginalized politically, but by extension, also economically. This is because their access to public goods and state services is significantly curtailed underpinned by unequal educational and employment opportunities.
