Causes of Youth Unemployment in Pakistan

Abstract

Youth unemployment is a major challenge for any developing or under developed countries, and Pakistan is no exception. The rate of youth unemployment in the country is one of the highest in the world, according to the World Bank, and this carries with it far-reaching economic and social implications. One of the main causes of this problem is a lack of government investment in the economy, which has resulted in a lack of job creation opportunities. Additionally, political instability and security concerns in the country have caused a large number of displaced people, which has further increased the number of unemployed youth. To address this challenge, it is necessary to focus on eliminating the causal factors and promoting economic and social development in the country.
