Unemployment :A common problem
Unemployment means economy offering no jobs and persons are job less.
Pakistan is a welfare state and yet millions of men and women are jobless. They are willing to be employed but there are no job opportunities for them. These crowds of unemployed people include educated, trained, skilled, semi-skilled and illiterate people. This lack of employment opportunities on a massive scale is really frustrating. The unemployed people and their families lead a very miserable life. With the passage of time this problem is becoming dangerous and our government and leaders have done nothing substantial so far to address this problem. Unemployment in its turn creates many other problems such as indiscipline, violence, terrorism, robberies and many other street crimes. Unemployed person is a frustrated person so he can do anything which creates anti-social elements like extremism, drug-trafficking, smuggling and mafias. It has also given rise to corruption, nepotism and favoritism.
The job creation is hardly keeping pace with the rapid increasing population in the country. There is a huge deficit of jobs.
The problem in Pakistan is very typical because of our obsolete, outdated and age-old educational system introduced by the British. Our education system needs to be changed fundamentally to meet our industrial and technical needs. Education should be job oriented and closely connected with our industries.
The situation in the unorganized sector in rural agriculture and urban areas are equally alarming. Thus, there is huge man-power lying unused and unemployed. It underlines the futility and failure of our economic polices and planning. Pakistan is now facing a great problem of terrorism and suicide attacks because of disturbance in our tribal areas and in our neighboring country Afghanistan. In these critical hours the investor are not interested to invest their money in our country because they consider it unsafe and insecure, this scenario enhances the unemployment due to lack of industry.
The problem of unemployment is not confined to Pakistan alone, but it has been very acute and chronic thus needs sustained efforts and remedies.
Pakistan cannot achieve a strong economy unless the problem of unemployment is adequately addressed. Many young men and women commit suicide because of their long unemployment and lack of any means of livelihood. There is large exodus from village and small towns to cities and big towns in search of employment. It has created an imbalance and there is much pressure on cities and their natural resources. Our villagers should be self dependent and for that purpose cottage and small industries should be encouraged.
Problem can be solved if our leaders want to resolve this; strong steps should be taken to eradicate terrorism and suicide attacks so that an atmosphere of uncertainty should be nullified. Then investors will rush to Pakistan and our people will get jobs. Moreover our own leaders should bring their money back to Pakistan and invest here for its development and national interest and this will create a balance and peaceful economy.
