Unemployment
Unemployment means the availability of paid work. A person may be employed with some organization. In such a case he receives a regular salary or commission and other financial benefits. A person may have his own business or other productive activity. This type of employment is called self-employment. Non-availability of any chance of earning a regular income is termed as "unemployment".
Unemployment is the problem of the whole mankind. It is not only the problem of poor countries like Pakistan, but also a threat to other developed countries. With the increasing population and rising prices,it is badly effecting human beings throughout the world. As it is mainly the problem of the youth, it is adversely shaking the new generation.
Pakistan is facing this problem with all its severity. Every year the chances of getting jobs become harder and harder. Every year a fresh lot of the degree holders is added to the already unemployment persons. Poor economic condition of our country cannot offer jobs to them. The result is widespread dissatisfaction. This disturbs the families of the unemployed young men.
There are many reason for unemployment. The main causes of unemployment in Pakistan is the lack of planning. Our colleges ,schools and universities are mostly giving traditional education which is of no use. We are not clear about our targets in life. We have never made any proper planning to meet the needs of our future. In the advanced countries syllabus is designed to meet the requirement of the age and is taught very effectively. The result is that the person who successfully completes such a course gets an employment and proves helpful to his community.
In our country, there is no trend of students counselling. Our students select the combinations of subjects without proper guideline. The result is that the candidates are more in number than the jobs. People in Pakistan mostly prefer office jobs with a set routine. There is no trends of generating income from other sources. If our educated youngsters work with proper planning, they can earn honourable living. With a small amount of money every young man can set up his own enterprise. Many members of the family working in association can generate handsome sources.
To remove the evil of unemployment from our country, we should follow the example of china. Chinese products have dominated market everywhere. The reason is that these articles are low-cost and handy. They are the products of the Chinese cottage industry. China is more thickly populated than the Pakistan. But every member of the Chinese is bent upon playing his role in generating income.
As unemployment is the root cause of our social unrest it must be eradicated urgently. A department should be set up for its eradication. We have already departments for the control of certain social voices. The department of food help us in overcoming the problems of food shortage. Similarly the departments of anti corruption, family planning , economic research , higher education are helping us in different fields. The department for the eradication of unemployment will bring positive results.
It is a pity that our governments raise slogans and offer certain schemes, but no fruitful results have ever been. The reason is that there is no monitoring, no follow up. If there exists a separate department for this purpose, its head will be responsible for giving good results. Once a trend is set, it will be easy to maintain it.
