In Pakistan, the economic rollercoaster has been a wild ride for years, but in 2022 and 2023, things have taken a nosedive. Imagine prices shooting up, the value of money dropping, and the nation's savings running on empty. It's a crisis that's hitting the hearts of Pakistan, especially its young souls.
The first culprit here is the turbulent political scene. Pakistan's been through political whirlwinds recently, making life uncertain and unstable. Businesses find it tough to invest and provide jobs in such shaky times.
Then there's the big bad wolf: bad governance. The government's been accused of playing foul with corruption and poor management. That's led to people losing trust in their leaders. No trust means no investment, and no businesses taking root.
But here's the tragedy: the youth's bearing the brunt of this economic earthquake. They're on a job hunt, but the job market's in a slump. It's like fitting a square peg in a round hole, with skills not matching job needs.
Even when they do land a gig, the pay's peanuts. Pakistan needs high-paying jobs, but they're as rare as a unicorn here.

Then there's education – a key to unlocking a bright future. Many youngsters miss out on quality education and training. It's like trying to build a house with no bricks.
And the worst part? The talent drain. The worsening economy's causing a "brain drain" as young folks head off to the Gulf and Europe for better opportunities. It's like losing your star players in the middle of a game.
Pakistan needs a superhero-style rescue mission. The government must step up, stabilize politics, and clean up their act. Education and skill-building need a boost. More jobs, especially high-paying ones, are a must.
Remember, the youth are Pakistan's future. Investing in them is like planting seeds for a brighter tomorrow. So, let's roll up our sleeves and build a prosperous Pakistan together!
