There isn't a govt job waiting for everyone.

In the rest of the world jobs are created in the private sector or by creating your own business.

170,000 scholarships for skills development.

50,000 of those will be high tech IT scholarships.

100 Arab pkr to fund young people's businesses.

Debt trapping the youth is not a wise plot

That's a good first step.

Next, build startup schools and develop incubators to encourage experimentation, to teach, help and advise young minds who may have a product but lack business development skills.

And you also need solid patent protection laws to protect research and hard work.

There are good startup schools that Paksitan can collaborate with like Ycombinator and Lanch.co

I think a lot of work is going on behind the scenes in the startup sector no wonder Pakistan is regularly rated by international organizations as the "next big thing" when it comes to startups.

Recent success stories have been Careem (unicorn+), Airlift, Swvl, Sadapay (got funded by Stripe recently), Tajir, Bazar, TruckIT and many more. Alot of our startups are service industry focused such as making ride hailing easier, or replacing the nonexistent public transport system or making B2B contact easier etc. Hardly any startup in the manufacturing/hardware sector. I guess it is a natural progression we will eventually get there as well Inshallah.

Pakistan has a lot of "raw talent" and almost non-existent "structured growth". Every now and then you find someone stands out because of that raw talent that naturally surfaces from among 230 million people and hence your given startup examples. But without structured growth, you cannot compete at the global level where structure and systems develop raw talent further.

We can learn from China on that.

What you need is incubator towns/cities whereas the government provides grants for those in the field of technology (R&D), bio-technology, etc the universities can use this as feeders to push capable graduates into and Pak industries can merge and/or do joint ventures with. Conditions the talent stays in Pakistan so we don’t suffer from brain drain that afflicts many nations.
