How HR Skills will Improve Industrialization in Pakistan? (Ease of Doing Business Series)

Pakistan is the 5th largest country in the World with over 60% of its population under the age of 35 years (or youth population). This large human resource (HR) base runs the domestic industries and farms, working within the geographical bounds of our nations, and many Pakistanis fly overseas to work and earn foreign remittances for the country. Our foreign remittances have now crossed US$23 billion (in a year), which helps in reducing the current account deficit, and aid the domestic demand for goods and services.


There are 13 million high educated HR working within the Country, holding Graduation, Masters or PhDs degrees, while 118 million of us have Primary to Intermediate level in education. The higher education sector has continued to grow with a network of public and private sector colleges and universities spread across the nation providing Batchelors, Masters and PhDs level education to the students, mostly the youth. The current capacity in higher education rest at 3 million students per year, which has continued to increase and is still growing. The capacity for Technical Eduction Training (TEVT) has remained low, roughly at half a million trainees per annum for the 118 million less educated/ poorly represented Pakistanis.


The TEVT capacity needs at least 3 times increase soon, with special emphasis and focus at the girl youth, which has remained underutilized. We will require developing information technology platforms for a better outreach to the rural areas, particularly to the girl youth living in the villages. 


This video program presents an in-depth analysis of the HRD capacity in Pakistan, along with gaps, particularly in the TEVT areas. The program also makes some recommendation towards the end for the development of a robust country-wide technical training strategy.
