“A
man willing to work, and not able to look for some kind of employment, is maybe
the saddest sight that fortune's disparity shows under this sun”.
Unemployment is one of the
focal issues that currently every young person in Pakistan is facing. The proportion of unemployment is expanding quickly
because of absence of sources. At the point when unemployment happens such a
large number of wrongdoings are consequently be made. Unemployment causes
various issues for individuals of country. Pakistan has a lot of issues
nowadays and unemployment is one of those. Pakistan has endless characteristic
assets yet issue is that assets are not fully utilized from the freedom of
Pakistan in 1947. You may discover numerous graduated, aces, IT specialists,
architects and specialists pondering about for openings for work because of
terrible livelihood framework. The population of Pakistan are considered
profoundly gifted and dedicated on the planet and there is no estimation of
ability in Pakistan thusly, it is the reason a large portion of architects,
specialists, Scientifics, professionals and business graduates go in outside
nations for gain their job.
Causes of Unemployment in Pakistan:
First, the education system in Pakistan has been really poor
.Unfortunately any government didn’t give any attention to make the education
system better. Colleges and universities are not providing the quality and some
experience, skills based education to their students due to which student do
not find jobs easily.
Second, the period of retirement in Pakistan is 60 years and it is truly
high time of retirement and the administration of Pakistan is straightforwardly
in charge of this element. There are different instructed individuals are in
hold up of employments however high time of retirement is making youthful ones
frustrated.
Third, In Pakistan, there is so much nepotism and favouritism in
organization. There is so merit based selection of employees. In organization
there is no standard to recruit the person selection has been done only on
reference basis not according to the ability. So, this injustice also a cause
of un-employment.
Forth, In Pakistan there is no interaction of industry with the
education sector. Because education sector is giving the admission to the lot
of students in specific fields that may not be the requirement of industry.
There is imbalance between the demand and supply, due to this surplus
un-employment is going upward day by day.
“Just as a CEO could care less about pay equity,
the university administrator is unconcerned with how many of her program
graduates secure employment of any particular quality. (Joseph Ohler.Jr)
Fifth, in some private companies, there are strict recruitment standards.
These companies specified some of universities and they only preferred to the
students of these universities without knowing how much a person is competent. These
companies do not give chance to the students of other universities even in
their ads the name of universities are specifically mentioned. Selection is
only on brand name not on competence and ability basis.
Six, when fresh graduates go for a interviews then, always ask question
about the experience. question is that if no organization gives chance or
welcome to the fresh person then how's its possible that a person gets
experience. Due to this, a lot of competent young people unable to get jobs.
Seventh, in organization interviews are taken by un-trained people. Basically
interviews' are taken by the people who
have not same education background, no sound knowledge of the relevant field,
just on experience basis most of person take interviews and ask questions from
the person which is not relevant to the
candidate field and expect them to answer according to the interviewer wish.
This thing becomes a hurdle for the young people in getting jobs.
Side effects of unemployment:
·
When young people do not get jobs this will lead
to frustration and they involve in different types of crimes like theft,
robbery and terrorism.
·
Having no jobs creates the feeling of low self-confidence,
un-worthy, depression and hopeless.
·
Loss of
trust in administration and the government and ultimately showing no love for
country.
·
The unemployed is not ready to put his/her
abilities to utilize. What's more, in a circumstance where it continues for a
really long time the individual may need to lose some of his/her abilities.
Solution:
·
Government should pay attention to make the
education system better. Along with the government, it’s the responsibility of
universities to give quality education to their students.
·
Retirement age should be reduced to 55 years to
provide more employment opportunities to young people.
·
Organization and government should take steps to
eradicate the nepotism and favouritism. Employment opportunities should be
provided on ability and skill basis.
·
There should be proper interaction between the
universities and organizations, so that organization can inform the university
that how many employees they needed, what types of skills and abilities they
possessed. Then according to this information universities give admission to
the students so that after completing their education, they get jobs.
·
Recruitment should be based on the
young people skills, abilities and competences, universities names should not be used as a benchmark to give jobs to the people.
·
Organization should welcome to the young
graduates by involving them in some useful projects in this way, people can get
experience and at the completion of projects, offer jobs to the competent
people.
·
Interviews should be arranged by some experienced
person, who has the sound knowledge of relevant field. Interviewer should be
un-biased throughout the interview.
