Unemployment Crisis in Pakistan
Unemployment is a growing concern in Pakistan, causing immense stress for struggling families. According to the Pakistan Economic Survey 2023-24, over 4.5 million individuals remain jobless, with youth unemployment reaching 11%āthe highest among all age groups.
Many households struggle to afford basic necessities, forcing individuals into desperate situations. With limited opportunities, mental health challenges among unemployed individuals are rising.
The Link Between Joblessness and Mental Health
Financial distress is one of the leading causes of depression and suicide worldwide. Without stable incomes, families face social pressure, food insecurity, and hopelessness. The inability to provide for loved ones can push people to mental and emotional breaking points.
Experts stress the need for economic reforms, job creation programs, and mental health support to address this crisis. Without intervention, more families could face similar tragedies.
A Call for Action
This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address unemployment in Pakistan. The government must focus on job opportunities, economic relief programs, and mental health support to prevent such tragedies.
For struggling individuals, seeking professional help and community support can make a difference. No one should feel alone in their battles against financial hardship and emotional distress.
