Unemployment in Pakistan is influenced by numerous factors. Foremost among these is the increasing population. With a limited number of job opportunities available compared to the growing number of job seekers, the economy may struggle to generate an adequate number of jobs. Another key factor is the low rate of formal education. Even among those who attend school, a considerable number graduate without the skills required for employment. Consequently, upon entering the workforce, many find themselves ill-equipped to meet the demands of employers, worsening the issue of structural unemployment driven by a mismatch between job requirements and available skill sets.
To combat unemployment in Pakistan, several strategies can be employed. Given that a significant portion of Pakistan’s population is young and possesses immense potential, investing in their development through modern skills and technical training can catalyse economic growth and progress. In today’s competitive landscape, possessing higher education alone may not suffice. Practical skills and experience are equally essential.
