Uneployment in Pakistan

Unemployment in Pakistan is an other big issue which I want to discuss with you. It is one of most serious issues which we are facing. The population of Pakistan is increasing at the rate of 1.9% per annum , this means more than one million people enter the job market every year, so, with the increase in population unemployment also increases.

Average unemployment rate for year 1985-2016  = 5.47%

Lowest unemployment rate in year   1987             = 3.10%

Highest unemployment rate in year   2002            = 7.80% 

Causes of unemployment :

1) Population Growth;

2) Poor Education System;

3) Energy Crisis;

4) Lack of merit system;

5) Lack of investor's interest towards investment in Pakistan

6) Bad Government policies.

Unemployment cause a serious threat to economic growth.

I appeal to government , please change policies towards unemployment because I have seen various projects doing by Chinese companies, these companies just came with their own staff and they don't want to hire our staff for big posts which causes unemployment in our country.

As I am a Civil Engineer, I do face difficulty in getting a job related to Civil Engineering, then think about the people "who do not have technical education"?

There is a lot of saturation in almost every department. I request to Government to create jobs for better living standards of our people.

Human development and living standards of our people should be main priority of our government.

Thanks
