PMYP chairman Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan said the government is creating jobs for youth in Pakistan and abroad, including in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the US, Türkiye, and Belarus.

"All young Pakistanis should have the opportunity to lead a respectable life," he stated, adding that women would play a crucial role in job programs till 2029.

He explained that every two months, a special committee on IT and technical education, led by the prime minister, convenes to discuss and extend efforts to lower unemployment.

Ten new companies will be registered, according to Rana Mashhood, in an effort to promote innovation and entrepreneurship.He went on to say that programs like green jobs would also provide opportunity for positive development and rehabilitation to young people engaged in harmful behaviors.

He stated that in order to help job searchers through doorstep services as well as internet platforms, employment exchanges were being set up in every district.
