Labour Market Assessment of Gilgit-Baltistan

This Labour Market Assessment of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) is an attempt to provide an evidencebase to help align the region’s Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) with its
employment needs. This study adopts a mixed-method research approach to analyze skill
supply-demand mismatches, industry requirements, and institutional gaps across ten districts
of GB. The region’s labour market was found to be characterized by highly informal labour,
seasonal employment, and underutilized economic sectors with huge potential for marketpull, particularly in tourism, agribusiness, renewable energy, and mining.
