Hadia Majid is Associate Professor and Chair of Economics at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). Her research examines gender, labour markets, digital inclusion, and development in the Global South, with a particular focus on women's work and economic opportunity in Pakistan.

Why women's labour force participation in Pakistan has stayed stubbornly low even as the economy grew, and what policy can shift. Cash transfers, mobility, and the productive–reproductive divide.

Public goods, urban informal work, climate and gender, and the political economy of who gets heard. Translating findings into outputs cabinets and donors actually read.
A research and policy initiative on gender, technology, and inclusion in Pakistan that brings rigorous evidence to questions about how digital tools are reshaping women's economic lives.
