Job opportunities

Letter January 31, 2026
Job opportunities

Our youth is our country’s biggest asset, but we’re wasting it due to lack of opportunities. Thousands of graduates are struggling to find jobs, especially in areas like Balochistan where options are super limited. The government’s sporadic job ads spark massive competition, leading to frustration, disappointment and uncertainty among young people.

This isn’t just an individual issue. it’s impacting the country’s overall development and economy. We need to focus on education, skill development and creating jobs for our young folks. It’s time to tap into their energy, creativity and potential.

Policymakers, it’s time to act now. Let’s create opportunities and empower our youth to build a brighter Pakistan.
