Pakistan is facing a significant employment crisis, with multiple sources highlighting the urgent need for job creation to sustain economic growth. According to Dawn, World Bank President Ajay Banga emphasized that employment creation is a 'binding constraint on growth' and warned that Pakistan must create 30 million jobs over the next decade to accommodate its growing workforce. The article notes that the country's average annual GDP growth was just 1.7% between 2022 and 2025, which, combined with high inflation, has eroded real incomes and weakened labor demand. The sectors traditionally absorbing most of the workforce, such as agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, have all experienced declines, further exacerbating the unemployment issue.
