It is essential for the production and making of goods and other things like cotton sheets which contributes a lot of revenue in the budget of Pakistan. Energy is essential for running machinery in industrial facilities, industrial devices, lightening the cities and running the system of transport. Now a day there has been a massive improvement in the energy demand because of industrial development, increase in population, an increase in the manufacturing of households and enhancement of living standards. Therefore the demand of power is rapidly growing in the form of electricity, diesel, petrol and coal. As we know the Pakistan’s energy issues are rising because the production of energy is insufficient to meet the growing energy demands of Pakistan, which causes power crisis or an energy crisis in Pakistan.

We have done our best to conclude and sketch up some recommendations in the light of identified hurdles in the way of implementing the appropriate solution to our problem. Our study finds some major wholes in our system if they are covered up we can not only overcome the deficiency of electricity in our systems but also we can be able to export it to our neighboring countries. The basic flaws that our study identified are related to circular debt, and the inadequate capacity of our electricity production and distribution systems. Also we emphasized on some prospective alternatives to...

...University of central Punjab Project title: Unemployment in Pakistan Assigned by: Rizwan Pasha Assigned to: Ali Haider 0043 Abrar Hussain 0057 Waleed Adil 0066 MBA 1-B Definition of 'Unemployment' Unemployment occurs when a person who is actively searching for employment is unable to find work. Unemployment is often used as a measure of the health of the economy. The most frequently cited measure of unemployment is the unemployment rate. This is the number of unemployed persons divided by the number of people in the labor force. Unemployment in Pakistan: It is a universal problem, even the most advanced & prosperous countries of the world like USA, Britain & Japan are confronted with this problem. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to provide jobs to all. Honestly speaking, this problem exists in our country in an alarming degree. It is a fact that one person out of ten is out of work in Pakistan. The problem is serious in our country because we have unemployment among all the sections of our society among the educated & uneducated, among the skilled & unskilled. It is most unfortunate that highly qualified & professional persons like doctors, engineers & teachers are without jobs. It is painful to see them wandering from door to door in search of jobs. Many of them have gone abroad and are serving the people of other countries. It is estimated that more than a million people are entering the...

...Pakistan Energy Crisis: An Overview Contents Power Sector Highlights Pakistan Energy Stats Causes of Power Crisis Circular Debt Issue GoP’s Initiatives for the Power Sector/Sectoral Recommendations VTT’s brief Portfolio The Power sector was restructured in 1998 with the creation of PEPCO (Pakistan Electric Power Company)… Water & Power Development Authority’s (WAPDA) has been structured into distinct corporate entities comprising of 4 GENCOs, 10 DISCOs and one TransCO (NTDC). These 10 DISCOs are responsible for distribution to the end users. KESC meets its overall demand with its own generation plus purchase from NTDC, IPPs and from Karachi Nuclear Power Plant. The Current structure of the power sector is: Thermal power generation stands at 8,300MW but the thermal plants have low conversion efficiencies and are expensive to maintain/operate. Most of the thermal power plants installed by IPPs, use furnace oil which has become very expensive over the recent past. Hydro Power Only 34 % of total electricity generation is achieved thru hydro power. Currently we are producing 6555 MW against the potential of 41000 to 45000 MW Pakistan has a potential of producing wind energy ranging from 10000 MW to 50000 MW, yet power generation through wind is in initial stages in Pakistan and currently only a plant of 06 MW capacity has been installed in first phase in Jhampir by a Turkish company and...

...Figure 1.1 shows production of electricity in Pakistan by different sources. 29.9% electricity is produced by hydro power plants, 35.2% from oil, 5.8% from nuclear, 29% from natural gas and 1% from other resources. It is widely admitted by all parties that Pakistan is entering a period where energy demand is exceeding readily available supply. Electricity supplies are already falling behind demand during peak periods which is leading to rolling blackouts. Pakistan is currently facing a serious energy crisis. Despite solid economic development during the past decade and consequent rising demand for energy, no worthwhile steps have been taken to install new capacity for generation of the required energy sources. Now, the demand exceeds supply...

...The United Nations Development Programme Pakistan defines youth on the basis of an age demographic that ranges from 15-29 years. Year over year, the world’s youth population is increasing. According to a survey conducted by Labour Force, 27.63% of Pakistan’s population can be classified as youth. Currently, more than one-third of Pakistan’s youth population lives in urban areas, of which 32% are uneducated with no vocational and life skills which results in high unemployment. The youth of any nation can play a vital role in the economic development of the country, and given the high literacy rate amongst the Pakistani youth, the country is well poised to benefit from its growing youth population. However, even though nearly 23% of this age demographic want to start their own businesses in Pakistan but the major causes that hinder the promotion of entrepreneurship in Pakistan are widespread corruption, lack of proper law and order system, lack of infrastructural facilities, lack of financing and lack of education and skills. As per the Pakistan Economic Survey 2009-10, Pakistan is facing a serious energy crisis. Even though there has been a constant cry for the need of electricity in both rural and urban areas, no valuable steps have been taken to resolve the issue concerning the shortage of electricity. This shortage not only affects and hinders the daily lives of people but also affects businesses. In order to improve living standards of people and to enhance the economic...
