Unemployment a major problem

Unemployment is a major problem of our country. This is because unemployment can lead to a lot of social and economic problems. Employment is also directly related to all industrial and trade activities. These activities slow down when there is a high level of unemployment but increases when it is low. In an inter-dependent world the unemployment issue has taken a global perspective
Here in Pakistan there are many seekers but few jobs. In a society where ‘who you know’ has replaced ‘what you know’ as the major criteria for jobs, chances of employment are bleak due to massive downsizing in the public sector.
Tens of thousands of graduates leaving the universities every year are finding it harder to find a suitable employment. Not only it is hard to find a job but the high level of unemployment has also hurt those already employed in a distinct way. With the abundance of workers the employers have leverage to hire and fire at will, play loose with the benefits and offer lower salaries and those who are not satisfied with the working conditions are always welcome to leave. Of course, there are thousands who are willing to fill the space at whatever the salary may be.
so there is a very serious problem of unemployment in Pakistan this has created many problems like suicides, thieves etc…

Recommendation

Govt should create job opportunities by investing in the public sector.......

Electricity problem in Pakistan

The main problem that has Pakistani’s from all walks of life up in arms is the lack of electrical power throughout the country. While rolling blackouts or load shedding as its locally known has always been a staple of daily life in Pakistan, the problem has become acute in the last couple of years.

Notwithstanding the systemic issues such as the failure to build new dams and previous Government’s inability to add even a single megawatt of new power to the grid during 9 years of its rule, it seems that the present crisis is a result of bad management and the lack of foresight.

The demand for electricity in Pakistan during the winter months actually goes down and this winter has not been an exception. None of these issues could have possibly come as a surprise to the present government yet they choose to do nothing until violent anti government protests erupted in all major cities.

Instead of issuing stamps and coins bearing Benazir’s logo and dedicating existing airports to her name, they should focus on the plight of everyday people and try to make their lives a little bit better. Everyone understands that Pakistan is facing serious problems requiring long term solutions and the present government can’t be expected to make significant headway in the short term.

Recomendation

Utilize all the available resources in Pakistan to generate electricity.........like thar coal......

Problems Pakistani youth face

In most of the developing countries young people are growing up without opportunities, information and services they need to reach their full potential. There is mounting evidence to prove that lack of investment and an indifference to the needs of youth incur a high cost in terms of lost development opportunities, ill health and social, physical, mental disruption. And it means failure to fully support our present "asset" as well as next generation of parents and leaders. There is no doubt that the youth have been at the centre of socio-economic and socio-political changes taking place in Pakistan and elsewhere. The period of the life under which the youth fall, is the most productive and energetic. If their energies are not channeled they fail to captivate opportunities that come their way.

At this moment, the youth in Pakistan find themselves in a far better position than many of their peers in other countries because of the demographic advantage they enjoy in Pakistan. As a matter of fact Pakistani population is very young.

Of the 15 largest countries in the world in terms of population size Pakistan has by far the youngest people. Should such a young population be regarded as a burden or an asset? I believe that our demographic situation provides our young with an extraordinary opportunity to compete in whatever sphere they chose. We have an opportunity to turn our very large and very young people into a productive asset. That could contribute significantly to the economic growth and poverty alleviation

Recommendation

Both the government and society must join their hands or this nation-building task and concentrate on protecting the emotional and physical health of the youth, their skill-based education, provision of recreational facilities, employment, and above all incorporation of self-confidence, motivation and courage to move forward.

Problems of Agricultural Sector in Pakistan

Pakistan has a rich and vast natural resource base, covering various ecological and climatic zones; hence the country has great potential for producing all types of food commodities. Agriculture has an important direct and indirect role in generating economic growth. The importance of agriculture to the economy is seen in three ways: first, it provides food to consumers and fibers for domestic industry; second, it is a source of foreign exchange earnings; and third, it provides a market for industrial goods.

Most of Pakistan is classified as arid to semi-arid because rainfall is not sufficient to grow agricultural crops, forest and fruit plants and pastures. About 68 percent of the geographical area has annual rainfall of 250 mm, whereas about 24 percent has annual rainfall of 251 to 500 mm. Only 8 percent of the geographical area has annual rainfall exceeding 500 mm. Thus supplemental water is required for profitable agricultural production, either from irrigation or through water harvesting.

Agriculture contributes about 24 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs 47 percent of the national employed labor force. The contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP has declined gradually since Pakistan came into existence, from over 50 percent in 1949-50 to about 24 percent in 1996-97. Agriculture still remains the major sector of the GDP composition. A major part of the economy depends on farming through production, processing and distribution of major agricultural commodities.

But this sector is still not modernize according to the technology available so we are facing lack of product from this sector.

For example wheat crisis in Pakistan.

Recommendation

Modernize this sector using advance technology..................

Kashmir problem

In the last 50 years it has been observed that India and Pakistan have failed on all fronts whether it is border problem, trade or diplomacy. Things aggravated after the nuclear tests. On Kashmir, India and Pakistan should have a dialogue, within the framework of the Shimla Agreement and Lahore Declaration . The people of J&K are fed up with terrorist activity, which began twelve years back.

Pakistan wants to keep the issue alive, with the result that innocent Kashmiris have been sandwiched between militants and the military.

The spirit of age demands leaving the past behind. France and Germany were long time enemies. But they are working together in the European Union, gaining from a single currency and a common market.

Military spending drains vital resources of the two countries, leaving little for development, poverty alleviation, public health and education. Let us hope that the two countries come together to forge durable peace and improve the quality of life in this region.

Recommendation:

My recommendations are

Dialogue

Dialogue

Dialogue..........

Poor healthcare facilities

Another most important problem in Pakistan is that Healthcare facilities are miserable. This spreads across the entire spectrum of healthcare. For instance, most medicines are not only substandard, they are contaminated with fake ingredients adding to the health problems of people but given widespread poverty, most people are unable to afford proper medication. At the top end of the scale, the rich can get the most advanced medical services available anywhere in the world. The difference is price: those that can afford it can get the best service available; the rest cannot. Environmental pollution has increased alarmingly causing massive respiratory problems. In many cities, industries used to discharge chemicals outside their factories contaminating surface water. With government restrictions, industrialists now pump such chemicals into the ground polluting underground water. There has resulted in an increase in Hepatitis-C and cancer-related diseases.

Other problems relating to poor healthcare facilities in Pakistan results in followings:

1: Pakistan is one of only four countries where polio has not been eradicated (the others are Afghanistan, India, and Nigeria)

2: Water- and sanitation-related diseases are responsible for about 60 percent of child deaths.

Pakistan’s overall expenditure on improving healthcare facilities is very low. This is not because of lack of funds. Pakistan received $billion of rupees in foreign aid for health and population sectors, but the depressing factors quoted above point to a serious domestic problem. First is the culture of corruption; the ruling elites consider all foreign aid as personal property. Whatever money is given to Pakistan is used as follows: exorbitant fees for foreign “experts”, filling foreign bank accounts of Pakistani officials and the rest is sent to Pakistan but even that is not properly utilized. The legendary incompetence, inefficiency and nepotism of Pakistani officials waste it.

Recommendation:

Govt should at least invest that money in this sector which they are receiving as foreign aid.

What a politician in Pakistan thinks..........

The corrupt politicians want to get aboslute power to plunder and loot Pakistan. They are still not ready to accept the rule of law in Pakistan. The politicians in Pakistan are only after power. They have weakened Pakistani people ever, delivered them injustice, powerty & insulted them. Poor people of Pakistan have no more believe in their leaders and they just struggle for their basic needs with no moral values

Pakistan’s current set of leaders has shown mediocrity during the best of times. They are hardly equipped to deal with the challenges facing Pakistan in economy, defense and foreign policy. Today this is our biggest crisis.

They are just like a business men who invest & earn huge profit,only diffrence is loyalty.What do you think a person who invest millions on election campaigns will work for the nation.He will be engaged in earning his money back.And people will continue suffering...

In the above video ppp politician is saying"Corruption un ka haq hai"

so

Recommendation :

Treat all the politician as "Traitor" And send all of them outside the country so that others may get any chance to serve.

Why Pakistan lacks in education

A. Low literacy level and low standard of education
These are general problems and need no elaborate.
B. Multiplicity of educational systems
There are many systems working here, resulting in not synergy but social division and conflict. For example we have English medium schools, Urdu medium schools.

RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Declare educational emergency
The present government should declare a national educational emergency and involve the whole nation, including the army, in waging a war against illiteracy.
Some steps that the government might consider taking in this regard are:

1. Declare education as the highest priority of the government. Explain that unless the impediments of illiteracy and lack of education are removed.
2. Make it mandatory for government and army officers at all levels to do stints at various educational institutions in relation to their skills and national requirements.
B. Improve, update and form curricula, texts, and examination and evaluation techniques
There is no need to say that improvement, updating and new work needs to be done in these areas. Again, some steps that the government might consider taking are:

1. Give more importance to language education and mathematics at the primary and secondary levels.
2. Various teams of experts should be involved in performing the above mentioned task of improvement and formation.
3. Instruction in science, history and social studies should be incorporated in language teaching at the primary and secondary levels through activities and projects.
4. Computer education should also be introduced gradually right from the elementary stage in education.
C. Eliminate multiplicity in education gradually
A uniform system of education should be introduced gradually to eradicate the problems multiplicity of systems creates as pointed out earlier. One important thing that the government should attempt in this regard is,

“Introduce one medium of instruction”
