From Click to Progress

Youth plays the most effective role in the progress of any country. Pakistan is one of those few countries that have the largest young population in the world. 64% of Pakistan’s population is youth, however, we have yet to take advantage of this youth bulge.

While all youth needs to be mobilized and provided with opportunities for a robust, dynamic and progressive Pakistan there is an urgency to focus on young women because of the prevailing gender inequality especially as its gender inequality index stands at 151 out of 153 countries. Govt. of Pakistan must focus on the social and economic empowerment and enabling environment for young women’s individual agency i.e. the ability to make choices and decisions for one-self.
