Youth bulge: lacking access to quality education, skills

Express Tribune | English | News | Dec. 2, 2025 | UndeterminedDemographics

Unemployed youth in Pakistan present significant challenges but have the potential to become a positive force if governed by a fair, inclusive, and just system. The state should operate under a governance model that upholds human equality, dignity, liberty, and social justice, with leadership that is pious, transparent, accountable, and selfless, as outlined in Islamic principles. Pakistan was envisioned as such a welfare state but has deviated from this vision due to the ruling elite's failure to prioritize justice and social equity.

The current governance system in Pakistan is marked by elitism, exploitation, corruption, and social and economic exclusion, which particularly harms the youth. About 64% of the population is aged 30 or below, yet many lack access to quality education and skills, while post-retirement appointments restrict youth employment opportunities. Meritocracy has been replaced by nepotism and bribery, leading to widespread youth unemployment and posing risks to the country's security and economic growth.

There is an urgent need for systemic reforms in Pakistan to make governance fair and inclusive. Key recommendations include enforcing merit-based appointments emphasizing competence and moral values, prohibiting post-retirement appointments that benefit elites, eliminating gated communities among the ruling class, and ensuring the rule of law applies equally to all citizens. These reforms are timely amidst ongoing constitutional changes, including the debated creation of new provinces.

The article stresses that selective justice and social injustice undermine state stability and go against Islamic teachings. Sustainable governance depends on fair, accessible justice and social equity. Without these foundational principles, governments risk failure, as exemplified by the collapse of the USSR. Pakistan’s future stability and progress hinge on restoring justice, inclusivity, and accountability at all levels of governance.
