UNEMPLOYMENT IN PAKISTAN
Unemployment in Pakistan is not only a topic but also a growing
major problem in the economy of Pakistan.
Lets starts from the root, now a days, you see for every single job
opportunity, there is vast pool of candidates. Jobs, which pay a lot in
developing countries, are paying a little in comparison if you see in
Pakistan. Why is that so? What is influencing so many people to claim
or to go for the single opportunity even through they are from
different regions, cultures, environment, and backgrounds and even
from different fields of education?
The biggest reason is unemployment in our beloved country now,
before we further continue our topic unemployment in Pakistan. We
need to know, what is unemployment? And before we continue to
understand what unemployment is, we need to know labor force? The
labor force is the actual number of people available for work.
Labor force 57.24 million (57,240,000)
Agriculture 45% & Manufacturing 13.7%
Here the only thing requiring concentration is the actual number of
people available for work.
Before determining the actual number of people, we need to know the
category or characteristics of people, some people are ignored or
exempt from the labor force.
These people are:
Under 16 to mandatory age of retirement (which is 60 years
in Pakistan).
Home makers: like housewives, househusbands, of course
provide services for the family which means they work but they are
excluded from Labor force.
Student: here I refer to the student, who studies full time, not the
student, who is doing executive study or part time study like
weekend programs. The student, who does a full time job is
included in labor force.
UNEMPLOYMENT:
Unemployment or Joblessness occurs when people are without work
and are actively seeking work thats why slackers are major problem
in determining the unemployment. Unemployment rate is calculated
by dividing unemployed people by labor force and multiplying by 100.
Unemployed
o Punjab
2.1 million
(2,100,000)
o Sindh
0.7 million
(700,000)
o K.P.K
0.53 million
(530,000)
(70,000)
3,400,000
CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT:
The main causes of unemployment of skilled and unskilled persons
are as follows:(1) High rate of population growth of 2.03% is the major factor of
rising unemployment in the country
(2) Low level of saving and investment provides less opportunities
for employment,
(3) Mismatch in demand for and supply of laborer in various sector
of the economy is also an important causes of unemployment in
rural areas is less than in urban areas
(4) Declining employment opportunities in agriculture ,due to
mechanization, the rate of unemployment, therefore gas hone up
(5) Absorption of persons in large scale industries, due to the
installation of improvement automatic machinery has gone down.
This has also led to increase in the unemployed labor force.
(6) Rural urban migration. People from rural areas come to the cities
for seeking jobs. Many of them remain unemployed/underemployed due to lack of employment potential in the urban areas.
(7) Political instability in the country. Political instability in the
country has adversely affected all sectors of the economy the
industrial expansion has slowed down. The prolonged ethnic
troubles in Karachi too have created unfavorable environments for
employment. All these factors have led to increasing
unemployment rate in the country.
(8) Prevailing education system. The present educational system is
not job or skill oriented. In the absence of vocational and technical
education, a large number of educated youth remain jobless.
BENEFITS:
