    INTRODUCTION:-

    Unemployment plays very important part in our life. Today I’m going to discuss about the
    unemployment in Pakistan. Unemployment is one of the biggest problem In Pakistan. That
    person in unemployed who has ability to do work and Is willing to do work but is unable to
    get job opportunity in the current situation more than 300,000 peoples are unemployed in
    Pakistan and unemployment ratio 12% in Pakistan.

    UNEMPLOYMENT IN PAKISTAN :-

    Unemployment is a major problem for any country , the position of Pakistan will be seen.we
    will also look at the urban and rural areas of Pakistan and look at the unemployment rate
    there. The table below shows the total population of Pakistan. It can be clearly seen the
    Pakistan is suffering from over population and the being an underdeveloped country it is very
    difficult to control this. This also effect the employment rate of Pakistan. The population is
    increasing as we can see in the table. Although the growth rate is decreasing by the actual
    figure of population has increased from 90.10 million in 2004 to 149.03 in 2009. This shows
    the rapid rate of increase in force is defined as all persons of ten years of age and more who
    worked at least one hour during the reference period and were either paid employees or self
    employed.

    This defined by the government of Pakistan. The table below shows the amount of people
    employed in Pakistan. Of the labour force of 42.75 million 39.4 are employed. 27.6 of them
    working in the rural areas and 11.8 in the urban areas. We can see the same aspect of the
    higher population rate in the rural area has caused a higher employment rate in the rural
    areas. the government has neglected the unregistered people who are actively participating in
    the labor force but are not employed because there are no jobs available to them. This cause
    is the negligence of the government and of the people as well as menu. The mayor problem
    can be seen in the table below. It is the unemployment rate in Pakistan. According to the
    government is defined as all persons ten years of age and above who during the period under
    reference were

    Without work i.e were not in paid employment or self-employed,

    Currently available for work i.e were available for paid employment or self employment.

    Seeking work i.e had taken specific steps in a specified period to seek paid employment or
    self employment.

    The table reveals that unemployment has increased from 5.89 % in 2004 to 7.82 % in 2009.
    Similarly unemployment in rural areas, which was 4.98 % in 2005, has risen to 6.94 % in
    2006 & urban unemployment has enhanced from 7.95 % in 2004 to 9.92 % in 2009.e

    TWO SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY:-

    sector and industrial sector.

    INDUSTRIAL SECTOR:-

    The rapid industrialization plays an important role in accelerating

    The rate of growth of the economy. It provides employment opportunities, increase income
    through multiplier effect and upgrade the technological base of the economy. The high cost
    of utilities, lack of physical infrastructure, low investment, lack of skilled manpower and
    R&D capabilities are the main obstacle in industrial growth. The following recommendations
    are made to ensure sustainable growth of manufacturing sector.

    The engine of growth of manufacturing be the private sector and the government role may be
    restricted to provision of utilities and regulatory frame work.

    Fiscal and monetary incentives to invest and develop engineering and chemical industries.

    In view of WTO regime, manufacturing sector be encouraged to upgrade technology, replace


    existing machinery and introduce BMR to be competitive in the world market.
    Industrial estates be developed in close proximity of large engineering units. Development of
    vendor industry, transfer of technology and provision of credit will follow it.

    Activate judiciary for fast, efficient and transparent dispute resolution to facilitate access to
    technology and foreign investment through strategic alliances.

    Facilitate and encourage private sector to enter into joint ventures with multinationals and use
    brand names to market products.

    Cost of doing business is made attractive by reducing utility prices, simplifying the
    procedures of registration, avoiding multiplicity of taxes and restricting use of discretionary
    powers by the tax authorities.

    Encourage value addition in textile industry to remain competitive in the world market.

    Re-orient the education and training in accordance with manpower requirements of the
    existing and future industries.
