Jobs: Is there easy to achieve a job in Pakistan?
No it is not easy to achieve a job in Pakistan due to nepotism and reference. If government announced some jobs then many Democrats sell them like a product. They are finishing the merit system in Pakistan. During the regime of Imran Ahmad Khan no one jobs are announced. Before the regime he said he will announced 100000 jobs only for young nation of Pakistan, but not fulfill this announcement after coming in power.
Rgime of Shahbaz Sharif
🇵🇰 1. Digital Youth Hub – Jobs & Training Platform
The federal government under Shehbaz Sharif launched a Digital Youth Hub — an online platform meant to help Pakistani youth find employment, training, internships, scholarships, and career guidance. It is designed to connect job seekers with:
. listings for jobs in Pakistan and abroad (in places like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Japan, and others),
.skills development programmes,
.support for relocation and employment abroad, including interest-free loans for relocation costs.
📈 2. Skills Development and Employment Action Plans
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also supported programmes aimed at training youth in modern skills that match labour market needs:
- He approved a Skills Impact Bond initiative intended to attract private investment in youth training — skills that would ideally lead to job placements or higher incomes once training is complete.
These steps focus on building skills so that Pakistan’s youth are considered more employable and can either get better jobs domestically or abroad.
🧑💼 3. Public Sector and Provincial Job Announcements
Although at the federal level there were broader platforms like the Digital Youth Hub, there have also been concrete recruitments in sectors implemented especially in provincial governments:
- For example, the Punjab government (led by Maryam Nawaz Sharif) approved recruitment plans for roles such as constables and tourism police, part of a development programme that will create employment alongside infrastructure initiatives.
Additionally, provincial authorities have highlighted that nearly one million jobs have been created through a combination of government hiring and private sector growth initiatives since early 2024.
📌 4. Context in Federal Hiring Policy
It’s important to note that federal hiring has been constrained in some areas due to fiscal measures aimed at reducing public expenditure — including a reported ban on many new recruitments and efforts to abolish long-vacant posts to save costs. These measures have affected how many new government jobs can be announced directly by the federal government.
🧾 Summary
Under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government, the “job announcements” you’re referring to largely involve:
- Digital platforms and programmes to link youth with jobs and training.
- Skills and employability initiatives to help young people get jobs or start careers.
- Provincial recruitment and employment programmes, especially in Punjab.
- A broader employment strategy rather than massive direct federal hiring due to fiscal constraints.
