Pakistan faces a significant challenge in the coming decade, as highlighted by World Bank President Ajay Banga, who emphasized the need for the country to create up to 30 million jobs to harness its youth bulge into an economic advantage. This requirement translates to generating approximately 2.5 to 3 million jobs annually. Failure to achieve this could lead to 'illegal migration or domestic instability,' Banga warned during his visit to Karachi, as reported by Business Recorder, Dawn, and Tribune Latest. The country is currently in the implementation phase of a 10-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF) with the World Bank, alongside efforts to stabilize its economy with the International Monetary Fund's assistance. The emphasis is on shifting from 'the idea of projects to the idea of outcomes,' with job creation being the 'North Star' for Pakistan's economic strategy.
