THE PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENTUnemployment is a serious problem face even by the developed countries of the world.But third world countries and particularly Pakistan is badly suffering from this curse. Ithas really wrecked the nerves of our youths who despite requisite qualification are unableto find a job. 414 for Prospective HeadmastersThe parents educate their children in the hope that at the end of their educational career they would share the financial burden of their families. The eldest brother or sister is thenext source of aspirations for their siblings. But all their hopes are shattered the timewhen they come to know-that.securing a job in our country is a gigantic task.Joblessness is not only a problem in itself but it leads to many other problems. The parents disappointment of job opportunities prefer to engage their children somewhereelse than to send them to schools and colleges resulting in a low level of literacy ratewhile education is directly needed for the socio-economic development of a country. Theaim of education is not only to get employment but also to make us good citizens of thestate.The ever-increasing crime rate is another reason of unemployment. A jobless person hasno way out than to resort to theft, drugs, murder and suicides. Once a man enters the fieldof crimes he does not hesitate to move a step "ahead with every coming day he commits anew crime and becomes habitual to it.Similarly many of the jobless people seek refuge and mental peace in drugs. Drug-trafficking and drug addiction is another serious issue of the society. An addict feels noshame to steal even a pair of shoes for purchasing a sachet of heroin for himself. He isquite void of moral values, avoids responsibilities, suffer eternal sleeplessness;sometimes his desire for food is too high and some times too low.After discussing the effects of un-employment let us analyse its causes. The first andobvious reason of joblessness is the ban the Government has imposed on jobs. Due to poor management of the < ountry's resources, the Government finds it difficult tu lift the ban from the services. The intellectuals are of the opinion that the rate of 415The Study of Educationun-employment would go uncontrollable in case concrete measures were not taken by theGovernment.Another reason of un-employment is that the government officials, bureaucracy and theelected representatives often misappropriate a major portion of the funds and foreignloans which Pakistan procures for its development. Consequently, no new roads are
constructed, no new industries set up and no new educational institutions are established.When the development work comes to a standstill how the youth will find a job?Political influence, corruption and nepotism also contributed to un-employment. Havingdisgusted and frustrated the talented and capable genius leaves the country as soon as heor she gets a chance. Consequently the country is deprived of the services and theintellect of capable people. Similarly a young man, unable to find a job develops psychological disorders and the country loses a valuable figure. Looking at the fate sucheducated beings, the youth studying in the institutions give up the idea of getting anyfurther educations as it sees its own fate as similar as his senior.Another cause of unemployment is the faulty system of education. The teachinginstitutions turn out a peculiar type of young man who hates manual labour. He is good !or nothing except reading books and dreaming of high in society. Second, our country isnot much advanced in industry. We cannot absorb all our young1 men in factories.Moreover, they are not skilled. Third, in our country a few privileged persons are keepingall the key industries to them.If work and leisure are equally distributed, all men will have enough of work and enoughof leisure. But the educated young men and comnr n men have neither the capital, nor theopportunities to try their luck in business. 416 for Prospective HeadmastersThe last reason is that in our country birth rate is very high. The resources of the countryare not enough to maintain such a large population. People are more and jobs are few.The result is unemployment.Keeping in view the consequences of this evil, the Government of Pakistan is doingmuch. It is already running 23 Employment Exchanges. The National ManPower Councilruns a National Employment Bureau which helps the Pakistanis to get jobs. Recently twoyouth Employment Services have been set up, one in each wing. They give vocationalguidance to young people and assist them in finding jobs suited to their taste and ability.Labour Department has set up some Technical Training Centres at various places and 9more are being established. But in spite of all this more is needed. Production should bestepped up in agriculture. The country should be industrialized to provide new channelsof employment. The concept of education should be changed. Planned distribution of wealth should be ensured. Population must be kept within reasonable limits. It is onlyafter a long time struggle that we can get rid of this evil.TERRORISMr or the full understanding of Terrorism we should consider the following questions1. What is Terrorism?2. When was it started?
