Women in Pakistan have always faced undeniable challenges compared to men reflecting pervasive gender disparities. The private sector in Pakistan has an undeniably large workforce and a grapples with numerous issues stemming from unclear and unstable policymaking, inadequate implementation, and a lack of effective research. This study analyses the socio-economic hardships of private school teachers in Pakistan. It consists of a public survey and discussion with school teacher for the determination of socio-economic problems. The analysis reveals that concerns such as inadequate salaries, burdensome workloads, and precarious job security significantly impact teachers' satisfaction and well-being. Notably, teachers who perceive greater job security, receive higher remuneration, and experience lighter workloads express higher levels of job satisfaction. Therefore, in order to strategize its policy options, the private sector needs to be better organized and certain policies to improve job security, workload management and equitable remuneration emerges as crucial strategies for enhancing teacher satisfaction and fostering a conducive work environment.
