rehabilitation of refugees, poor infrastructure and widespread poverty
of masses.

15. SOCIAL PROBLEMS
• Poverty.
• Illiteracy.
• Terrorism.
• Corruption.
• Unemployment.
• Child labor.

16. POVERTY
• The biggest of these problems is poverty. 70% population of Pakistan
lives in villages. Most of them don’t have access to adequate basic
needs of life. They are struggling for bread and butter.
• Poverty itself gives rise to various other social problems. It deprives
children of poor people to access education and healthcare.

17. ILLITERACY
• Illiteracy is yet an other problem of Pakistan. The literacy rate lingers
on 56% and ironically it also includes those people who can read and
write their name in Urdu.

18. TERRORISM
• Terrorism has become a headache for federation and a nightmare for
public.
• Government has been helpless in eradicating terrorism despite beefing
up security in metropolitan cities.

19. CORRUPTION
• Corruption is another huge social problem. According to latest report
of Transparency International, Pakistan has been ranked at 42nd
number among the most corrupt nations of the world.

20. UNEMPLOYMENT
• Unemployment is also regarded as a major social problem.
• Currently rate of unemployment as per official resources is 7.4% but
according to some private estimates the arte of unemployment is 12%.

21. CHILD LABOR
• Child labor is widespread in Pakistan. Whether in bigger cities or in
small villages, we find innocent malnourished children employed in
various forms of labor.
• They are working as welders, mechanics, plumbers, electricians and in
industries like carpet-weaving, glass and football making.

22. REMEDIES

• Promote technical education.

education.
• Awareness complain for overpopulation.
• Proper planning for water storage such as
dams.

political system on taxations, government spending, foreign policy
and free trade.

• Political instability.
POLITICAL PROBLEMS

25. REMEDIES
• Give free hand to anti-corruption department.
• Reform our political system.
• There should be clear definition of terrorism.
• Make foreign policy on basis of rational interest.

26. CONCLUSION
Problems are present in every country but the winners are
those who overcome most if not all of them. Though Pakistan
is currently facing a lot of socio-political and socio-economic
problems but it doesn’t mean that it is going towards its end.
Nations face multifarious problems but together they work for
towards the solution. Government as well as every single
citizen of Pakistan has to play its own specific role to bring
about a positive change.
