 Youth in Pakistan:

Pakistan has a large population that can be categorized as falling within the definition of youth.  An estimated 103 million Pakistanis, or 63% of the population, fall under the age of 25 years.  However, as a result of endemic poverty, the majority of youth in Pakistan do not have the opportunity to experience a childhood.  Youth literacy rate Youth Literacy Rate (age 15/24) is estimated to be  53%. Female youth literacy (age 15-24) conforming to the wider pattern in Pakistan, is even lower at 42.0%.*.

Child labor remains prevalent social issue in Pakistan. Economic conditions force many Pakistani youth to take up employment in their childhood years. Children's contribution to work in rural areas is about eight times greater than in urban areas. In Pakistan rural areas children work in the agricultural sector (74 per cent), whereas in urban areas, most working children (31 per cent) are engaged in the manufacturing sector. In both areas, the percentage of girls working in manufacturing and services is higher than that of boys.
