Pakistan has numerous natural resources but issue is that resources are being wasted since the independence of Pakistan in the year of 1947. You might find several graduated, masters, IT experts, engineers and doctors wondering about for job opportunities because of bad employment system. The people of Pakistan are considered highly talented and hardworking in the world and there is no worth of talent in Pakistan therefore, it is the reason many of engineers, doctors, Scientifics, technicians and accountants travel in foreign countries for earn their livelihood.

Because of unemployment in Pakistan, the living standard of Pakistanis is going down with the passage of time. People are lacking from their basic requirements. People have become the patients of depression and they have no idea how to deal depression during unemployment.  This article has tried its best to point out some of the major causes of unemployment in Pakistan and as well as solutions as under:

ROOT CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN PAKISTAN:

We’re writing this post for the intention of causes of Unemployment in Pakistan. There are plenty of causes or in other words reasons for unemployment. We’ve got issue in heritage. When Pakistan got independence form Hindus there hundreds of problems had to face to a newly Govt. I would not like to discuss independence issue but the major problems because of which unemployment takes place in the county have been thoroughly discussed below:-

POPULATION’ S GROWTH:

One of the major issues regarding unemployment in Pakistan is uncontrolled growth of population. The population of Pakistan is increasing at very high rate this time. In accordance with the statistical, the population of Pakistan is increasing at the rate of 2.2 percent. There are plenty of factors responsible for overpopulation like early marriages, illiteracy, desires for sons, lack of awareness etc. As we all know that the education system of Pakistan is not up to the mark therefore increasing in population means bring more uneducated person into the field of labor. Government or any other company cannot provide jobs or work places to this huge amount of uneducated people. It has been noticed that growth of population is relatively common ruler areas.  Most of individuals residing in villages are uneducated therefore they are lacking from problems because of over population.

POOR EDUCATION SYSTEM:

The education system in Pakistan has been actually poor since the creation of Pakistan. Sadly, any government since independence did not take especial steps to make the education system batter. Education system in Pakistan is unbalanced. It has been seen even talented students left study because of injustice of system. You will observe several technical educational colleges and private technical institutions are being found which are merely selling degrees because technical education which is being given in these institutions has no value, therefore people are wondering about for jobs due to deficiency of experience and skills.

VIOLENT ACTIVITIES:

As we all know very well that the Karachi city is hub of trade and business in Pakistan but there are no rules and regulations in Karachi as everyone is violating law in the greatest city of Pakistan. The peace of Karachi has been destroyed. The hidden internal and external elements do not want to see Karachi prosperous. Moreover, Pakistan having very bad time at the moment because of Irrestrainable terrorism. Another cause of unemployment is terrorism. Terrorist activities in Pakistan are on peak at present especially in Karachi, hence situation in Karachi is actually threatening and alarming and due to this the nationals and as well as foreigners are frightened to invest in Pakistan. So when investors stop to invest so how can job or earning opportunities are being created?

ENERGY CRISIS:

Could you consider country with plenty of natural resources and atomic power is lacking of energy crisis? There are several sources of producing of energy in Pakistan but because of the deficiency of proper planning and efforts Pakistan is having issue of energy crisis. The government of Pakistan is unable to give electricity to residential areas in Pakistan than how can energy or electricity can be provided to factories and industries. Therefore factories and industries that are required energy are transferring their business in other Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India and as well as Sri Lanka. As of this result a huge number of labours are becoming the victims of unemployment.

HIGH AGE OF RETIREMENT:

The age of retirement in Pakistan is 60 years and it is actually high age of retirement and the government of Pakistan is straightly responsible for this factor. There are several educated people are in wait of jobs but high age of retirement is making young ones frustrated.

AFGHANS REFUGEES:

Afghans refugee to Pakistan is the additional issue of unemployment in Pakistan.  When American army attacked on Afghanistan in the year of 2001 about 13 years ago and due to this plenty of Afghans migrated to Pakistan for making them save till the betterment situation of their country but the situation in Afghanistan is yet critical. The migrated people caused labour markets as they are ready to work for fewer wages.

SOLUTION OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN PAKISTAN:

It will be hard ask for government to resolute one of the major issues of Pakistan “Unemployment” because of huge population but still we’ve given some solutions to decrease the unemployment in Pakistan and we’re hopeful by following these solutions the ratio of unemployment in Pakistan can be reduced or decreased.

  • The first thing to do to decrease unemployment in Pakistan is the proper planning by the government of Pakistan.
  • The education system of Pakistan should be equal and well managed.
  • Well recognized training and technical institutions are required to be established where skills programs are offered.
  • The age of retirement should be almost 55 years.
