Globalization has had a positive impact on the female Pakistani population. In other words, women would have an easier time finding work and getting educated. Although there is still a fairly large wage gap, it's much easier for women to get employed than it would have been before. Since globalization in Pakistan, more and more women are also getting involved in politics, which would have been almost unheard of before. Yes, there is still plenty of room for improvement when it comes to women's rights in the country, but at least there has been significant advancements made since globalization took place.

The communication technology revolution, prominently smartphones, has brought a ton of life to the economy of Pakistan. This sector has grown fast and created an abundance of jobs, particularly in the manufacturing industry. The increase of job availability decreases nation-wide poverty, which also promotes economic growth, putting Pakistan higher on the global scale. As of recently, Pakistan is has a surplus of young engineers and coders who have started their own companies which also help contribute to technological advancements all around the globe. The only downside to technological advancements is that a lot of research is going into weaponry to be used in warfare. Overall, this part of globalization has helped Pakistan create tons of jobs, but it comes with its downsides.
