The problem of unemployment is not stopped there, few chunks of opportunities are grabbed by politicians, military brigadiers, high grades officers for their children has already caused massive damage to youth, deprived deserving candidates of the jobs.

Corruption in departments of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has encouraged corruption in the recruitment process where nepotism and bribery have taken massive space between the deserving and non-deserving.

The problem does not finish here, the government poor policies for the youth has looted the pockets of youngsters who are deprived of applying for jobs which costs more than the income generated by a household.

Testing agencies are earning massive profits out of the unemployment where few posts are advertised and thousand of applicants submit their applications for the single post.

The rise in inflation in Pakistan has connections with unemployment, where 60% of youth in Pakistan has nothing to contribute to the economy.

Many of the young graduates are over-aged by not timely hired by the private or public sector in the organizations has also negative implications.

Pakistan is the only country with the massive young population which is not utilized for the purpose to boost the country's economy.

Growing unemployment challenges the country's roots, the criminals of today are more educated, energetic than the past, state's laws are violated with massive criminal cases, as many of the worsened situations in the country has brought negative changes to the environment.

Poor governance system, mistrust between young grads and employers, poorly aligned policies has brought massive challenges against youth. Government timely action and restructuring making the laws friendly for youth may ease the problems for today's youth.
