Unemployment is a serious issue both globally and in Pakistan. In Pakistan, the unemployment rate is around 6% but some predict it will rise to 6%. Unemployment is caused by issues like overpopulation, faulty education systems, economic problems, social issues, and lack of financial access. Unemployment harms people psychologically and economically, can increase social problems and poverty. To address unemployment, Pakistan needs to improve education, encourage vocational training, enact supportive economic policies, better plan population growth, reduce corruption, and resolve energy crises.
