One out of ten is Jobless in Pakistan
Tuesday 9 July 2013
According to a survey released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, joblessness
in Pakistan is on the go and the stats tell of an alarming increase in the unemployed number of educated and skilled people in Pakistan. Thus, everyone out of ten is having no job. October-December 2012 witnesses an increase of 6.5% from 6% that is
8.4% more as compared to the same period of 2011.In rural areas, it increased
at the rate of 5% from 4.3%, an increase of 16.3%. While in urban areas, it
rose to increase by 2% to 10.1%.
Report displayed another fact that the definition of employed includes all
those above ten years who work at least one hour/week irrespective of the fact
that had been paid for that work or not. Claims of the government of improving
the economic conditions in rural areas have many question marks on them. Till
when the vicious circle of bad economic policies will go on and how far is the
dawn of the poor man of Pakistan? Any answers?
