Employment in Pakistan
By Fatima Tassaduq • Aug 10th, 2009 • Category: Misc • One ResponseWhat career to choose, what to study, where to get admission, how to find job, how to proceed in the career, how to change gears during the job, how to look for better opportunities, and how to excel in one’s field are very alien concpets in the country of ours, and very very few people really care or think about them.
All they strive for is some sort of job. One cannot blame them by watching the very few job opportunities, extreme poverty, nepotism, corruption, lack of business, expensive and low quality education and the government apathy to downsize the public sector and promote the private industry.
People are frantically searching for job after earning some sort of degree or diploma or certificate from any institute in the country and then they either end up suffering from the joblessness or land into some job which doesn’t correlate with their education or skill.
Things are very bad on the job horizon. New job sites are appearing but there are fewer jobs and there are many many job applicants.

Unemployment is increasing everywhere in the world and same has effected our country. I am fed up of these remarks. Every one, either he belongs to the Government or an analyzer just passes the same remarks but what is the solution of that.
Every day you hear and find people loosing their jobs or searching for the jobs. I loose my job in November 2008, and since then I am unemployed. Though I am having an experience of 19 years in a very effective sector of industry.
I find a way for that and some of my friends take me to a place in Sindh, Gharo. They were having some agriculture land there on rental basis and were working there. I then made many visits there with them and found that most of the agriculture land in Bhabra a near place at Gharo is not cultivated.
I sit with one of the owner of 128 Acres of land and asked him how much land he is cultivating, and he told me only one acre, because they have got no money but only the land.
The land there is available on a yearly rental basis known as ( Moqata ) and this is about PKR.5000/= per acre per year.
Many people of Karachi had got this rental land about 5 to 6 acres, and they hire the same person who is the owner of the land working as Hari on that land.
One person of Karachi has got 10 acres of land on rental basis and hired the owner of the land as hari to work on that land.
In this way the poor land owner / hari get the job and also his un cultivated land gets some life, where as the investor cultivate wheat, rice and mostly vegetables there and it pays back money, not a very big profit but the family kitchen of the investor and the hari will be running.
If government can give short loans of amount only Pkr. 125000/= many people can start working there and many parties will get the benefit and will earn bread and butter. And the dead land will be cultivated and will get life.
