Abstract
The phenomenon of gender stratification and gender segregation is manifest almost in all over the world but its nature and magnitude may vary from society to society. The severity of this phenomenon is strictly found in traditional societies like Pakistan. The present study is the analysis of secondary data which aims to identify the potential areas of gender gaps i.e. education, health, political participation, employment, etc in Pakistan. It has been learnt from the analysis that phenomena of gender segregation and gender gap are wide and can be observed in almost every walk of life. The study suggested that gender gap can be reduced by taking concrete steps at micro and macro level.
