4. Unemployment
 Unemployment is a worldwide and global
issue. Unemployment is the state in which a
person is without work, available to work, and
is currently looking for work. Workless people
are always dangerous to country. They are
burden of country.

5. Unemployment in Pakistan
 Like other developed and developing country
Pakistan is also a victim of unemployment. The
unemployment rate in Pakistan for the year
2014-2015 is 6 percent.

6. The above graph shows the unemployment rate of Pakistan from
the year 2004 to 2014. According to this graph in 2004 and 2005 the
unemployment rate was above 7% which was higher as compared
to 2006 i.e. 6.1%. The average rate of unemployment from the year
2007 to 2014 was 5.1%, which shows that the unemployment rate
has decreased in the last decade.

7. ROOT CAUSES
 Faulty education and lack of educational institutes.
 About 5.5 million children are out of school.
 More than 70% industrial units have been closed due to energy crisis.
 Shrinking economy has weakened the government credibility amongst the
people.
 Unemployment makes society weak and stops its productive power.
 Unemployed young people cannot see the future and may be subject to
the influence drugs and may become robbers, thieves or terrorist

8.  Childhood labour have become common because of
unemployment.
 When people are unemployed they consume the
resources but are unable to contribute in overall
economy which results in poverty.
 poverty is a mother of all problems. People are
turning towards crimes and violence.

9. Steps for decreasing unemployment
 Education should be up to the mark. Educational Institutes should be
opened not only in cities but also in villages.
 We should take full benefit from science and technology to solve this
problem.
 Government should play its important role to address unemployment.
 New industries, hospitals and universities should be opened to increase
availability of jobs.

10.  Proper planning regarding population. We should make proper planning
programs to develop awareness in family.
 Same facilities should be given to cities and villages to stop migration of
people towards cities.
 Infrastructure of cities should be corrected. Corrupt people should be
punished. There should be equal law and order for poor and rich people.
 To address unemployment and run industries properly, Energy crisis can
be solved by making dams and promoting nuclear plants.

11. Pakistan has the 10th largest labour force in the world. According to the Labour Force
Survey 2013-14, the total labour force in the country is 60.09 million. Out of this, 3.58
million people are unemployed and 56.52 million people are employed. Pakistan being
the 6th most populous country in the world, with population growth rate of around 1.92
percent per annum, is adding a large number of people to the labour force.

12. Youth employment has remained one of the major concerns of the government. Youth in Pakistan face
various disadvantages including limited job search expertise, a mismatch between education, aspirations
and employers’ requirements and a lack of mobility, among other factors. The government envisions long-
term investment in human capital through formal and informal education as well as strategically
strengthening the links between education and the labor market. The government is fully committed to
improve the employment level in the country. For this purpose many programs and projects for youth’s
employment has been introduced. As a result, the unemployment rate has decreased from 6.24 percent in
2012-13 to 6.0 percent in 2013-14. The detail of labour force and unemployment status is presented in the
above tables.

13. SELF-EMPLOYMENT &
ENTREPRENEUR SHIP IN PAKISTAN
 Pakistan has increased its self-employment rate from 33.3% to 39.9%
between 2009 and 2012. Pakistani have been using the famous website
“Freelancer.com” which helped in decreasing unemployment rate and
increase the self-employment rate. Pakistan is the 3rd largest user of
“freelancer.com” following America & India.
 We consider entrepreneurs as the engine of economic growth. When
entrepreneurs set up new businesses numerous job opportunities are
available for people on small as well as big scale.

14. Conclusion
 Unemployment is a problem that leads to some other
problems like poverty and crimes. Therefore we
should care about it and find a way to solve this
problem.
