Unemployment in Balochistan||  The richest province but backward

            A country is called a scarce country when its provinces are prosperous. But we are living in a country where thousands of people are unemployed. I want to express my grave concern over the issue of the rising rate of unemployment in Balochistan. A Myriad of people is sinking into the menace of unemployment and poverty.

            Balochistan has the highest unemployment rate in the Country. According to statics, the unemployment rate is 4 percent in Balochistan. Demographically the largest province of Pakistan, Balochistan has a population of 12.34 million. the province still facing job deficiencies. Due to a lack of employment opportunities in Balochistan, the youth of the province is more vulnerable compared to other provinces. The federal government asserted that the corridor will prove to be a game-changer and change the luck of the people of Balochistan, but this statement turned into a rumor. Baloch people are not getting the benefit of mega projects such as the Saindak copper-gold project, the Reko Diq project, and the Gwadar Port project. So, the China-Pak Economic Corridor can be a solution to the employment problems of Balochistan.

            Government should immediately start looking for a solution to this issue. They must be given jobs by the government so that they can live a Mediocre life. I strongly urge the government of Pakistan to take stern steps for mitigating the rising rate of unemployment. They must ensure jobs for poor people.
