Unemployment in Balochistan



   As the rate of unemployment is rapidly increasing in Balochistan. Balochistan has the highest unemployment rate in Pakistan. About 9.13 percent of people are unemployed in Balochistan. This is all because of corruption, discrimination, lack of education, poverty, educational institutions, etc. Moreover, The Levies force jobs test was issued in 2019 but still, the list of selected people is neglected. Now we can estimate that more than 1 million people are jobless in the province. However, there are Ph.D. holders who are working in the private sector to earn their livelihood. 

   Those who pay money to the government are selected without any test or interview. So far no solution has been found for this problem. Selling jobs is a very lucrative business for the officials.  Due to a shortage of employment opportunities in Balochistan, the youth of the province is weak compared to other provinces. Due to this unemployment, in June 2019, Nazar Muhammad a student of BS (Chemical Engineering) lost his life and was burned alive, on Kech highway, while transporting oil illegally to earn his living. This shows us the weakness of the government in Balochistan. I request the authorities to take hard steps
on the burning issue.
