Unemployment has become one of the serious challenges for the country and it leaves plenty of negative impacts on the country’s development. However, announcing jobs for the indigents and the large population has never been the priority of any politicians in Pakistan; therefore, 300,000 people are living hand to mouth and unemployed. The ratio of employment is only 12% per cent in Pakistan and it is considered the lowest ratio of employment. Definitely, behind any developed nation its citizens’ hand is there, but Pakistani citizens are seen unemployed. Unemployment is one of the serious macroeconomic dilemmas which is bringing socio-economic problems. The output of income is low and the economy of the country will be down which leads to income unequally, ill health, migration and so forth.
Pakistan is full of educated people, in contrast, they appear in private sectors where they are enrolled in private educational schools, language institutions and coaching centers. Furthermore, according to the study report a large number of educated people immersed themselves in private institutions or engaged themselves in hotels for small jobs after graduation and MA to earn money to meet their needs. As the government doesn’t announce jobs for them. In Pakistan, the highest-ranked people to peon are corrupt according to a journalist.
Mostly, unemployed people are from rural areas of the country and their way of living depends on the rural economy. There is a paucity of their fundamental rights such as health care, education, jobs etc. The major reason behind unemployment in Pakistan is backwardness of the agriculture sector development which plays an important role in the country. The agriculture sector is the largest sector for Pakistan’s economy. The agriculture sector contributes 20.9% to GDP and 44% of people can get occupations from this sector.
The government is not providing quality seeds, pesticides and fertilizer and lack of agricultural education. Owing to certain problems in the agriculture sector unemployment is intensified.
Besides this, unemployment is not only an economic problem, but also a social dilemma which can cause crime too. The causes of unemployment are endless. Growing population which adds fuel to fire is considered one of the causes of unemployment. Pakistan is among the developing countries where population growth is unbridled. Pakistan has failed to provide jobs to a huge number of people. The violence and terrorism are dragging the issue of unemployment very deep. Notwithstanding, the PM Khan once said that he would bring drastic changes in the country after being elected and promised that foreigners will be visiting Pakistan for jobs but despite foreigners touring Pakistan, citizens inside the country are dying due to not getting three times. Unemployment surely creates poverty which increases child labor. Policies have to be enforced and there shall be great amendments in the constitution regarding poor and educated people who are in depression, committing suicide and immersing themselves in committing a crime.
