Select your answer for: Pakistan formulated its inaugural labor policy in ________, designating May 1 as a public holiday.
Show answer

Answer: C. 1972

Explanation

Pakistan formulated its first comprehensive labor policy in the year 1972 under the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. This landmark policy officially designated May 1, known internationally as May Day, as an official public holiday. The legislation aimed to protect workers' rights and establish a legal framework for labor unions across the country. Labor policies dictate the legal relationship between employers and industrial workers within a sovereign state. May Day originates from the international labor movement and celebrates the historic achievements of working classes globally. The 1972 reforms introduced numerous protections concerning minimum wages, working hours, and industrial dispute resolutions.

The year 1970 was marked by general elections and political turmoil rather than the introduction of this labor framework. During 1971, the nation experienced the separation of East Pakistan, overshadowing domestic policy developments. The year 1973 is famous for the adoption of the permanent Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
