Definition,
Unemployment is defined as when a person is available to work and
seeking work but currently without work.
Unemployment is one of the most important social problem of not only
Pakistan but the problem of all over the world.
Unemployment is a central problem of Pakistan because when
unemployment is high, resources are wasted and peoples incomes are
depressed; during such periods, economics distress also spills over to affect
peoples emotions and family lives. The socio economics system of Pakistan and
institutions has failed to provide employment to the increasing labor force. Labor
force include all persons who are of ten years and above , and during the period
are without work, currently available for work and seeking for work. About 2.4
million persons of labor force were estimated as unemployed in 1999, as
construction and transport sectors have an absorbed 11.2 percent, 6.8 and 5.7
percent as compared to 10.5percent, 7.2 and 5.0 percent respectively in 19941995
It is a general perception that the ratio of unemployment is greater in
rural areas. This perception is supported by the fact that rural areas have less to
offer as in urban areas industrial sector overcomes this drawback. But as trade
and industry require skilled man power and people migrating from rural places to
urban cities lack required skills thus this increases unemployment in cities as
well. This is when unemployment demonstrates its adverse economic impact.

Causes
There are different causes due to which unemployment occurs..
1- white collar job
2- lack of education
3- overpopulation
4- smuggling
5- market scope
6- references
7- economy slow down
8- political instability
9- lack of industries
10-Poor job performance.
1- Over population
The first and the most common cause of not only the
unemployment but the cause of many other social problems are over
population. It causes poverty, inflation, unemployment, e.t.c. It cause
unemployment because if there are more people and less opportunities so
their need will fulfilled and if there are limited job requirement and a large
numbers of spectators so how will every one become employed so over
population cause unemployment..
2- Lack of Education
Our educational system is also responsible for increasing
unemployment rate among the educated youth. The attitude of our youth
towards the choice of a career is unrealistic and unproductive. Rapid
mechanization and computer technology also causing unemployment.
4-Smuggling
In our country smuggling is also causing unemployment because
the smuggled product have low price as compare to those things which are
produce in the industries and due to which the sale of produced product is
decrease and if the sale is decreased so the producer is producing less
numbers of products then there is no need of allot of workers so it cause
unemployment.
5-Market scope
Main issue of unemployment in our country is that when ever a
new technology comes as software or hardware then all the people starts
studying about that and search the scope of market. Then at the end, you will
see ten thousand students of a particular field about 5 to 10 job vacancies
6-Refferences
Now a days in our countries most of the jobs are reference based jobs so
any common man who have no reference can not get a good job and he will
not accept the unrespectable job and remain unemployed.
8- Lack of industries
Industries are the important part of the success of any economy in our
country the number of industry is very low as compare to other developing
countries. If we have more industries so more peoples can work there.
9- Political instability
The political condition can also affect the rate of unemployment. Because if
there is bad political condition so the investors of other country will not invest in
our country and then we can not make more industries.
