Unemployment in Pakistan

The primary problem nowadays whole world is facing is of unemployment, which is increasing
rapidly day by day. Due to unemployment many new crimes takes place. Pakistan that is an
Asian country is facing some serious troubles in the name of unemployment because our
resources have been wasted since the first day. We may find many educated persons jobless in
our own family, friends and neighbors. Over years ago Master degree was so profound that jobs
were fore granted to them, but now we wont see only Masters jobless but also the Doctorate
ones too. For that we cannot blame the talent of Pakistani because whole world knows that
Pakistanis are very talented and because of no value of their talent they are forced to do job in
foreign countries to earn their livelihood.
No class in Pakistan remained untouched from being
unemployed whether unskilled or skilled. The labor class is
also affected by that and due to that the living standard is
getting more miserable day by day. The basic needs and rights
of every Pakistani are demolished in the burden of how to live
happily with there family, they are desperately waiting for a
chance to get out of there and that is one of the reason why our
country is making no effort for future. Weve made some effort
to highlight some of the causes of Unemployment in Pakistan.
Causes of Unemployment
As there are many reasons of unemployment but were highlighting some of the major ones.
Over Population

The growth of population in Pakistan is uncontrolled,

according to the statics the population of Pakistan is
increasing at the rate of 2.2%. The causes to that can be
many like early marriages, illiteracy, desires for sons
and lack of awareness. Due to that were bringing some
more uneducated persons and government is unable to
provide jobs to them.
Fault in Education System
The education system in Pakistan has been on lopsided since its creation and thats why many
colleges and universities are selling degrees because of no standard and people are wondering
that why they dont have any job even if they have a degree with them. The entry level job in
Pakistan is also demanded by experienced. How come any person could get a job having no
experience, he need a start from somewhere but God knows how many hurdles he has to face to
get a job. Thats why Pakistani prefer to study and live abroad to have stable learning and
earning.
Terrorism in Pakistan
In earlier blogs weve mentioned that how terrorism is affecting Pakistan but lets discuss that in
this perspective. As we all know that Pakistan trades and business is being handled in Karachi
and the situation in Karachi is getting worse and worse. They are facing target killings, robberies,
murders, violence, day to day protest and blast. Due to this unstable environment the foreigners
are also afraid to invest in Pakistan and without any investors how can Pakistan manage to give
job opportunities to its people.
Energy Crises
Weve already mention in our blog Energy Crises in Pakistan that how energy causes is bringing
unemployment in Pakistan that even person having a job at morning comes in evening without
any job. The country with uncountable natural resources and which has atomic power too is
lacking of energy crises, how is that possible? And the answer is simple weve our resources but
there is no proper planning and thats why were bound to waste our resources. The Government

of Pakistan is unable to provide power in residential areas, so how can they manage to give
power to factories and industries and because of that factories and industries are out sourcing
their work in other countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India. Hence bringing large amount
of labor class to unemployment.
Age of Retirement
The age of retirement in Pakistan is very high; a person having a age of 60 years is getting retired
by the Government of Pakistan so we can directly blame our government for that. A person
having fresh mind and skill is beat by the person who is old enough and needs rest now. Young
generation is without job and elders ones are bound to support there family at such high age
where they need rest.

Refugees
When America attacked Afghanistan in 2001, plenty of Afghanis migrated to Pakistan. For
having some earning they were ready to work in fewer money in labor markets, that cause the
labors of Pakistan to lose there jobs.
By proper planning we can work out for every problem. By making education system equal for
every one, by training young ones with good skills and technical information, by removing
energy crises we can bring our investors back, the age of retirement should be less. However it is
a difficult task for Pakistan but still its not impossible. Government of Pakistan can take proper
actions for that by educating people by making them aware for all the mess.
