Similarly, the total weekly cost, revenue and profit of 13 selected woodenware producers are Rs. 496200, Rs. 647000 Rs.150800 respectively. Similarly, a single retailer (on average) per month revenue from handicraft products is around Rs. 51600 and his/her products per day demand is approximately eight (8) items. The findings also reveal that total household income and spending on education are positively related with the profit and revenue.

Abstract Objective: To explore the socio demographic determinants of nutritional status of Pakistani women. Methods: Secondary data from recent Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS 2017-18) is taken. Data collection period is from 22 November 2017 to 30 April 2018. Ordinary least square (OLS) and quantile regression (QR) models are used for analysis. Results: QR model is found appropriate for BMI data to capture effect at different level of distribution of BMI. Less than 5% women are under nutrition for some categories of factors. Age of women, women’s education, frequency of watching TV, wealth index, husband’s education and region (KPK, Balochistan) showed a positive effect on women’s BMI in Pakistan across all conditional distribution of BMI. In contrary, age of women at first birth, women’s agriculture or manual working status, gender of household head (female) and region (Sindh) showed negative effect on women’s BMI in Pakistan. Conclusion: It is concluded that overweight/obesity is becoming serious problem as compared to undernutrition in Pakistani women. Percentage of deprived women is little and level of under nutrition is also not alarming.  Privileged women (with respect to education, economic status, urbanization, sedentary life style) have more chances to have higher BMI (overweight or obese). Women of KPK and Balochistan are at higher risk of overweight/ obesity as compared to Punjabi women.

Positive Effect

Indonesia has a significant and growing shortfall of housing. Existing supply is in poor condition and demand is rising for new units. Meanwhile, people's purchasing power to buy a house is still relatively low. Government overcomes added stock housing availability by collaborating with private developers to help meet the demand for housing needs. Islamic banks can provide funds to buy houses for the community. This study analyzes the effect of third-party fund (TPF), margin of homeownership financing (PPR), inflation, and household income on Islamic financing for homeownership. The analytical model used in this research is the ordinary least square with the Error Correction Model (ECM) method. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method in this study is used to see the relationship between the short-term and long-term effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The analytical tool used in this research is Econometric Views (EViews 10 Standard Edition for Windows). The study results show that in the short term, the TPF, PPR margin, inflation, and household income variables have a significant positive effect on homeownership financing in Islamic banks in Indonesia. The long term TPF, inflation, and household income variables have a significant positive effect on homeownership financing in Islamic banks in Indonesia, but the variable of PPR margin has a significant negative impact on sharia financing for homeownership.
