I am a PhD Scholar in Economics at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan. My research interests lie at the intersection of labor markets, household resources, consumption patterns, food insecurity, disability, and migration. I have recently completed research projects under the Global Labor Organization's Virtual Young Scholars (GLO virtYS) program (2022) and the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA)'s Lele-Mentor Fellowship (2023). In 2024, HEC-Pakistan awarded me a scholarship to conduct a six-month research visit at Texas A&M University (TAMU), USA, where I further developed my analytical skills and broadened my academic perspective. My PhD dissertation examines the relationship between food insecurity and labor market dynamics, highlighting how higher wages and access to skilled employment can significantly alleviate household food insecurity. Additionally, my work highlights the importance of inclusive labor policies and social support mechanisms in addressing the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in the workforce.
