INTRODUCTION:
The term in unemployment means,
A person is unemployed if he or she did not worked during the preceding week but made
some effort to find working the past four weeks
Unemployment is one of the major problems of Pakistan. The level of unemployment is
moving up. The socio economic system of the country and institutions has failed to
provide employment to the increasing labor force. The rate of expansion in industrial
sector is very slow. The increasing labor force has not been absorbed. Increasing output of
general education institutions is the major cause of educated young mens unemployment.
Technical, professional and vocational institutions are limited in number.
Nationalization of industrial units very badly affected the investment industrial sector. The
private investor shifted their capital to other countries. Employment in the private sector
absolutely stopped for many years. The higher growth rate of population is the major
causes of unemployment. The population has exceeded the optimum level. The
Resources of the country are limited.
Employment cannot be provided to the increasing labor force.
The cottage industries in rural areas had been faded out by the machine made goods. The
artisans have been rendered unemployed. Educated young men like white collar jobs. They
do not like to perform manual labor. The higher age of retirement in government services
has blocked the employment of educated young men. Reemployment of civil and military
high ranking offices in government corporations and agencies deprives the qualified men
from employment.
The unemployment rate is a sensitive indicator of conditions in labour market
unemployment is often associated with improving wages and working conditions as well
as employers compete to attract retain workers.. When the unemployment rate is low, jobs
are secure and relatively easier to find. Low

CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN PAKISTAN
There are a number of causes of unemployment in Pakistan. The most important of these
causes is a non stop increasing population. Deteriorating law and order situation has
slowed down the tempo of economic activity. Karachi is the biggest industrial base of our
country. But investors are reluctant to invest there because of continuous unrest and
violence.
Our educational system is also responsible for the high unemployment rate among the
educated youth. The attitude of our youth towards the choice of a career is also unrealistic
and unproductive. They want to get only some white-collar job. Rapid mechanization and
Computer technologies are also causing unemployment.
Unnecessary and frequent strikes in factories have compelled the owners to go for
automation and such technology as requires less manpower. Lack of infrastructure
facilities, especially in the field of energy, telecommunication and transportation also
prevent the industrialist from setting up new industries. Large scale smuggling which has
flooded the market with cheaper goods poses a serious threat to the development of local
industry. Tight bureaucratic control on the economy, inadequate credit facilities and
complex tax system are also some important factors that are creating hurdles in the way of
private sector investment in industrial
The causes of unemployment in Pakistan are:
1 Lack of enough industries to employ ever increasing number of graduate in the country.
2 The government is not involving in capital expenditure which creates job
Main problem of unemployment in Pakistan is that whenever a new technology comes as
Software or hardware then all the people starts studying about that. Then at the end, you
will see ten thousand students of a particular field against 5 or 10 job vacancies.
Other reason is that in Pakistan, things are not handled in appropriate manner. Vacancies
are less, but job seekers are more than that. Opportunities are not enough, and system of
reference is so much indulged in our society that if a company need some employees then
workers of that company will provide some resume to them of their relatives and friends so
in this way many people dont get the opportunity to apply for those jobs. I know system of
