It can be concluded that unemployment is a state in which people sit idle and have nothing to do. It is an outcome of illiteracy, feudalism, lack of meritocracy, nepotism, etc. Unemployment leads to many grave repercussions such as poverty, crimes, extremism, terrorism, and suicide. It has become very difficult to curb unemployment. However it is not impossible if sincere, concrete, and pragmatic steps are taken. The government of Pakistan has been taking multifaceted efforts to bring an end to unemployment. Nip (National Internship Programmes), BBYSD (Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Programme), etc are some of the examples. The media has also been highlighting the widespread unemployment in the country. NGOs and other stakeholders have also been playing their respective roles to bring an end to unemployment. This gives us hope that soon the problem of unemployment will be settled. Consequently, Pakistan will progress in all walks of life.
