The process of migration is mainly initiated from Pakistan with a prime objective to elevate the social position as there are only a few opportunities left for the people to work and earn for livings.

Impact of Covid-19 on Domestic Violence in South Asia
No full textDomestic violence, rooted in patriarchy and conservatism, significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, presenting a challenge to gender justice. This study examines the pandemic's impact on domestic violence in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, using an exploratory mixed-methods approach. In-depth interviews (IDIs) and key informant interviews (KIIs) with practitioners and experts, alongside a web-based survey with field-level practitioners and community members, revealed that domestic violence surged during the pandemic. Factors such as mobility restrictions, loss of livelihoods, and prolonged presence of men at home exacerbated violence against women and young girls. Additionally, increased household chores, school closures, and the absence of recreational activities led to heightened aggression. The findings highlight that domestic violence was a widespread issue across social classes in South Asia, reflecting the pandemic's deep impact on socio-economic and familial dynamics, with women and children bearing the brunt of this crisis

Impact of Digitalisation in Developing Procurement and Supply Chain Resilience in the Post Pandemic Era—A Study of the Global Manufacturing Sector
No full textThis study aims to investigate the impact of digitalisation in developing procurement and supply chain resilience in the post pandemic era within the context of global manufacturing sector. A systematic literature review identifies 63 conceptual and empirical studies while focusing on five global manufacturing sectors including: automotive, electronics, food & beverages, apparel, and pharmaceutical sectors. The primary elements that affected the impact of pandemics on procurement and supply chain resilience are: policy management, globalisation, and geographical characteristics. Pandemics create substantial risks and hazards in terms of demand variations (surges and dips) and price increases, depending on the sector. Other risks and hazards differ across industries, such as supply shortages, financial difficulties for suppliers, declining working capital, and worker health issues. Good practises for mitigating the impact of pandemics on procurement and supply chain resilience primarily include: boosting agility, adopting staff safety measures, and expanding E-commerce. Manufacturing firms can adopt a range of digital technologies to diversify their supply chains and to pro-actively engage in more collaborative relationships with stakeholders throughout their supply chains in order to develop more resilient supply chains in the post pandemic era. This study provides a practical set of recommendations regarding how to successfully develop supply chain resilience in the post pandemic era by employing a range of digital technologies including: Artificial Intelligence, Block Chain Technology, Augmented and Virtual Reality; Additive Manufacturing; Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics etc. in addressing risk and resilience challenges across a range of global manufacturing sectors
