Islamabad: (RightNow) A report by a United Nations agency reveals that 76% of Pakistani youth are optimistic about their future. This report is issued by the United Nations Population Fund Activities (UNFPA).

Pakistan’s population has reached approximately 257 million. One-third of this population is aged between 10 and 24 years. These young individuals can play a crucial role in the country’s future development.

According to the report, 53% of the youth are concerned about security, economic challenges, and inequality. They believe the government should take more steps to address these issues.

Limited internet access in rural areas is a significant challenge. The government is urged to focus on digital skills and employment opportunities.

It is important to note that population planning is not just about numbers but also about human rights and choices. These factors are vital for the development of youth and the prosperity of the country.
