Youth factor in Pakistan
Shahzad Ali Gill
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945), former American president, once said “We can’t always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for future.” Pakistan is a young country indeed. According to Federal Youth Policy (2008), people in the age group of 15-29 years are taken as young population in Pakistan. The youth is the most valuable asset for a country’s sustainable socio-economic, cultural and political development but in Pakistan, youth is professed to be a problem rather than a resource to be developed. UNDP’s report points out that the proportion of people under the age of 30 years is 68% of the total population of the country from which 37% youth is illiterate, 71% of youth doesn’t receive career counseling at school, 28% finds curriculum irrelevant to the job market, 47% don’t have sports facilities in their localities and 23% youth want to start their own business but not supported at all.
