Unemployment a Dark Shadow encircling our Graduates

By:  Munaza Kazmi

Our educational institutions turn out university graduate’s year- in- year out, the labor market which is expected to absorb theses graduates puts on the toga of inelasticity. 

Therefore, the labor market seems saturated. New jobs were either not being created or created in error, neither were the current jobs restructured nor reengineered and this has brought about a strong negative and dark impact on national economy, as well as the standard of living of the community. Hence, the issue of graduate unemployment can take many ugly forms.

The unemployed graduates appear to experience shame, hardship and frustration. Apart from the fact that the unemployed graduates are deprived of earning salary, they are equally deprived of socialization effect of work and removed from social ties and relationship. 

Consequently, they are put in a situation of worklessness, dispossessed and having no income value in the society. Moreover, they are unhappy with themselves in the world of material consideration. Since, the one who’s unemployed is not socially recognized and this make some friends and relatives to look- down on them as liabilities in the society. This makes the unemployed graduates to exhibit a kind of non- conforming and negative social vices, that can have much darker effect not only on individual level but on national level.

It has been observed that unemployment has a negative effect on the unemployed, such as low self-esteem, frustration and depression. Unemployment may lead to anti-social behavior such as prostitution in the females and arm robbery or kidnapping in males. 

In the broader context some devasting effects of graduate unemployment on the economy can lead to, Increase in burglary and armed robbery; while if one don’t have money, it is more likely he might choose the short and wrong way since there are mouths to feed, Psychological and financial stress; I would say, it is a double stress, deprivation from socialization, or isolation due to the risk of exposure to frequent questions from friends and family regarding the job, topple with deprivation of earning, Aggression, fear anxiety and frustration; let’s say after qualifying with grade A, have been acting as a president in student consul, with the dream of becoming a manager…what a graduate finds in the end??? Unemployment, or bestowed with a job of 18,000 Rupees a month. Won’t it would be a heartbreak, a catastrophe, not for himself alone but for the family, who till now have built an empire of dreams or might thought of taking a retirement. 

Homelessness, wandering, vagrancy and insecurity; with much hiking of prices, who is going to support the one on which already there have been done much investment, Prostitution, kidnapping, drugaddiction; we have seen so far that people educate for seeing a bright future but what they would see if there comes no platform, when they only get letter of rejection due to lack of experience, if not then a meager salary with which one couldn’t even afford the transportation. Am not supportive of the impacts but it is reality, that is where the crime and social disgrace finds its way.

Next there comes a question, how the experience would come when a graduate never given a chance? we try new fashion, latest applications but not fresh gradates, and if then to judge on a day’s review, by the old matured and experienced gurus. What a graduate would be doing by all this rejection, by dashing of dreams, by continuous humiliation topple with a dire need of financial resources.

This is how our individuals, our society and of economy is suffering, an MPhil is working under a BA pass, as a receptionist. For these consequences, the graduates have been educated? We stress on having good education, but for what for being unemployed.

UAE To Grant Citizenship To Scientists, Doctors, Artists

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday adopted amendments in its laws that would allow citizenship to investors and other professionals including scientists, doctors and their families.

“The UAE cabinet, local Emiri courts and executive councils will nominate those eligible for the citizenship under clear criteria set for each category,” Dubai’s ruler and UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said in a twitter post.

“The law allows receivers of the UAE passport to keep their existing citizenship,” Sheikh Mohammed added.

It was unclear if new passport holders would benefit from the public welfare system. The UAE spends billions of dollars each year on free education, healthcare, housing loans and grants for its estimated 1.4 million citizens.

Foreigners in the UAE usually have renewable visas valid for only a few years tied to employment. The government in recent has made its visa policy more flexible, offering longer residencies for certain types of investors, students and professionals.

Last year, the government extended its “golden” visa system – which grants 10-year residency in the Gulf state – to certain professionals, specialised degree-holders and others.

An oil and gas producer, the UAE’s economy has been hit by the coronavirus pandemic and low oil prices, prompting tens of thousands of expatriates to leave.

UZBEKISTAN: АLEA JACTA EST

By: Abror Yusupov

The analysis of the reforms and changes undertaken in Uzbekistan demonstrate that a new model of society and state relations is being shaped. This model’s objective is to ensure the well-being of the people on the basis of mutually trustful and beneficial collaboration between society and the state, raising the sense of involvement of each person in the development of the country. The barometer for the effectiveness of such cooperation is a positive change in the quality of life of the citizens of the country.

In addition, it forms a strong foundation for the unification and mobilization of the huge potential and resources of society, as well as state institutions for the development of the country.

Of course, the road Uzbekistan chose is a complex one, but at the same time the most effective. 

It can now be stated with confidence that new Uzbekistan under the leadership of Shavkat Mirziyoyev has successfully passed an important stage of development. It involves directing the activities of government agencies to serve the people and the society becoming an active initiator and participant in the reforms. Another important aspect. is that political system considers the setting up mutual strategic communication with the society as an important factor of the development. The president of Uzbekistan pays special attention to the active, educated and independent position of citizens in the affairs of society and the state.

Now, the task before us is to move forward without slowing down the pace against the backdrop of the results and achievements. It can be similar to a process of striving forward with new vigour to retain the title after winning a championship in sports. Or, as one of the founders of modern physics, A.Einstein said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must move”.

The analysis indicates that the words spoken by Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the President of Uzbekistan are not a pre-arranged texts or attractive set of words, but a kind of challenge to society that reflects the realities and strategic goals.

It can be observed in the initiatives of the President of Uzbekistan, which he put forward with great precision and determination in his speeches at home and abroad. It is noteworthy that Shavkat Mirziyoyev, when making any proposal, clearly indicates its implementer and deadline.

In my opinion, the historical changes observed in the socio-political life of Uzbekistan over the past period are as follows.

First, freedom of speech has been ensured in the society. Citizens started to speak openly about their problems and their attitudes towards government agencies.  This, in turn, has steeply reduced the “distance” which has been formed over many years between citizens and officials. This can be seen in all means of mass media like television, radio, press and social networks. At the same time, through objective observation of the information space of Uzbekistan, one can conclude that there are still a lot of problems in the country. In fact, the people are proposing to sort out existing problems together.

Significantly, there have been dramatic changes in the minds of Uzbek people. The people who have lived under “internal censorship” for several years, have warmly welcomed the transparency put forward by the President and expressed their readiness for changes. This is the historical achievement of Uzbekistan in a short period of time. As it happens, positive changes in human thinking directly contribute to changes in the society.

Second, through his reforms, the President has managed to transform people from the “traditional spectator role” into the initiators and active participants in changes in society. This is one of the important positive changes.  After all, progress can only be achieved if everyone is equally responsible for the development of society and the state. It is noteworthy that Shavkat Mirziyoyev sets an example for real leaders. There is no segment of the population in Uzbekistan with whom he has not met and communicated (teachers, constructors, engineers, entrepreneurs, farmers, youth, etc.). The famous phrase of 26th President of the USA T.Roosevelt says: “A leader works openly, a boss works behind closed doors. Leader guides, but boss controls”.

Third, a critical spirit has emerged in Uzbek society. Public control over the activities of government agencies is being established. Of course, this process is now being carried out more by media representatives, including bloggers.  As a result, government organizations are forced to consider public opinion. This ensures one of the main constitutional norms in public administration – the principle of accountability of government to the people. Along with this, there has been formed institutionalization of the relationship between the people and government agencies.

Uzbekistan took 44th place in the Open Data Monitoring International Index, rising to 125 positions. An significant factor was the introduction of the practice of disclosure of indicators in 20 areas of public administration.

Fourth, Mr. Sh.Mirziyoyev trusts the youth. There is not only the factor that more than 60% of the population of Uzbekistan consists of young people, but also the factor that in today’s rapidly developing world, only young people can withstand various challenges and create a new society. This approach is also based on strategic goals such as the rational use of the intelligence and potential of young people, its proper direction in the development of society and the state.

Definitely, a number of pertinent questions arise in this regard. In particular: how can the potential of young people be realized in the modern world? What position does Uzbek leader hold in this regard?

In this respect, it should be noted that a new system – “continuous knowledge chain” has been created in the country.  This can be observed in the process of preschool-secondary school-professional and higher education”. In particular, in modern Uzbekistan, kindergarten is treated not only as an educational institution, but also as the foundation of education.  In this regard, it should be noted that a separate system, which has no analogues in the world, has been established – the Ministry of Preschool Education. As a result, the coverage of young children with preschool education has doubled within 4 years to 60%, and the number of kindergartens has tripled.

In turn, school education is being specialized in certain disciplines based on the requirements of modern development. In particular, schools with focus on chemistry, biology, mathematics, IT, physics, in-depth teaching of foreign languages are being established. It is noteworthy that a systematic approach is being taken to demonstrate the talent of students not only domestically but also internationally. In his address to the Oliy Majlis President put forward the initiative to organize the International Science Olympiad in Physics named after Akhmad Fergani.

In the short term, the level of higher education coverage in the country has almost tripled to 25% (four years ago this figure was only 9%). This was achieved through the opening of new universities, including branches of leading foreign universities, and the organization of part-time and evening education.

Another important historic decision in the higher education system of Uzbekistan is the granting of academic freedom to 30 leading universities of the country this year. 

Thus, the strategic goal of the leader of Uzbekistan in this regard is to encourage young people to acquire in-depth knowledge, to form the country’s youth, first of all, as educated, high-potential and mature people who can meet modern requirements and increase the attractiveness of science.

Fifth, there have been major changes in the field of external migration.  This is directly related to the management and liberalization of migration processes. It should be noted that migration processes are transnational and specific to all countries. It is known that Uzbekistan is a country with a high labour force due to the fact that the majority of the population is young. Until recently, however, the country did not establish cooperation with recipient countries on the safe, orderly organization of migration processes. In the past period, 12 normative and legal acts directly or indirectly regulating the industry were adopted. Work experience will be considered if citizens participating in labour migration pay social taxes on time. Most importantly, Uzbekistan protects the rights of its citizens working in other countries. This is a proof that
Shavkat Mirziyoyev guarantees the rights and freedoms of the citizens of Uzbekistan, wherever they are.

Despite the closure of borders between the two countries due to the pandemic, more than 600,000 of our compatriots have been brought to our country. Necessary assistance has been provided to about 100,000 of our citizens in difficult situations abroad

Sixth, it is well known that foreign policy is an integral continuation of domestic policy. This approach can be seen as a strategic direction of the foreign policy of Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who has been the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan for many years. In this respect, it can be said that the priority of Tashkent’s foreign policy is to establish equal relations with foreign countries and directly ensure the interests of the population. 

This can be seen in the systematic implementation of tasks such as attracting investment in the socio-economic sphere, creating favourable conditions for investors, providing assistance to citizens of Uzbekistan in difficult situations in foreign countries. In general, this can be interpreted as a contour of domestic policy in foreign policy activity.

At the same time, one of the most important results of the effective foreign policy of the President of Uzbekistan in the past period is the creation of an atmosphere of dialogue, practical cooperation and good neighbourhood relations around Uzbekistan.  In this way, Uzbekistan has created a common “point of attraction” in the Central Asian region. Another important aspect is that Uzbekistan does not claim individual leadership in the region, but seeks the harmonious development of the whole region.  Such an approach of the Uzbek leader towards the region can be considered as a model of “mutual benefit and common success”.

The initiatives put forward by Uzbekistan at international events at various levels in practice set the agenda for such events. In the international arena, the proposals put forward by Uzbekistan are supported and put into practice.

Based on the analysis, we can say that the formula of Uzbekistan’s foreign policy is clear, official Tashkent has a strong position, which is in the interests of the people of Uzbekistan. 

To conclude, the people of Uzbekistan and the system of government in a short period of time have come a long way, which is the basis for complex and at the same time positive changes. In this regard, as noted above, relying on the interests of ordinary people in government, creating a “bridge” of constant communication with them, in my opinion, is an important factor in the changes taking place in the new Uzbekistan. This is an important basis for the next big strategic leap. Uzbekistan has enough potential and resources for this, because, as President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said, there is no way back, all the bridges have been burned down.

Online business need growing fast around the world due to Covid-19 pendemic. All the import, export and office work shifts to virtually.

Infact online business is more beneficial as it dont need huge investement, no display centers adn no hirring of extra employees. All you need to maintain online store or website to catch the customer.

Find a Need and Fill it

Many people who are interested in starting their online business make the grave mistake of looking for a product first. They look for the most selling products in Pakistan and try to tap in an already saturated market.

In order to be successful in building an online business, the best approach is to first look for a market that has untapped needs.

For instance, people were looking for home food for lunch that they could order from their office. This untapped need was then fulfilled with home cooked food delivery services which is now quite prevalent business.

You can also find a need through various ways such as,

  • You can visit online forums, facebook groups and communities to see what are the problems people are facing and what kind of solutions they are looking for.
  • Look at the websites of your potential competitors and see what they are doing in order to fill the demand of their target market. Take notes of what you have learned through research and studying consumer behavior. Then develop a product for an audience that is already looking for a solution. This way you will promote your product to a market that already exists.

Study Your Target Audience

Your target audience is going to pay for your bills and expenses only after that you would be able to earn profit.

The best approach to start any online business in Pakistan is to select an audience that has the ability to spend money online. People who are already interested in buying clothes, accessories, organic products or services such as home food delivery, car wash, restaurants delivery services etc. are the ideal audience.

To cater these audience, you can find an unwanted or unexplored need for these people and create a new service or product to target these people directly. Studying your consumer needs is quite important in order to target the market aptly. If you attempt to sell a product that revolves around

Once you have identified your audience, the next step would be to market the business online.

Design and Build Your Website for Exposure

Having an attractive and user friendly website gives credibility to your online business. A small-business web design is enough to hook your potential customers. Remember if you have a poorly designed web design, it simply tells that you are not taking your business seriously.

It is easy to build website through a drag and drop website builder such as WordPress, Wix, or Weebly. These website builders make it easy for a non-technical person to create a portfolio website to market his products.

But if you are serious about taking your online business to the next level, it would be wise to invest in a professional business website or an online store.

Be selective in choosing the best web designer for your business website. You can hire website developers in Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad for a professional designed user-friendly web designs or ecommerce solutions.

Write a Copy that Covert Readers Into Buyers

When starting your online business in Pakistan, many people doesn’t pay much attention to the ad copy or website copy and that is the reason that they fail.

However, if you pay attention to this aspect of the business then you can attract enormous traffic to your product. Hire a professional copywriting services or you can follow this blueprint to write an attractive ad copy for your product or service.

  1. Start with a compelling headline
  2. Describe the problem your product solves
  3. Establish credibility by telling how your product is designed to solve such problem
  4. Show testimonials from people who have already used the product
  5. Speak about the product benefits and features
  6. Give an offer that they can’t resist
  7. Include a guarantee to establish strong credibility
  8. Develop urgency
  9. Ask to take an action
  10. Offer upsells after purchase is done

With this blueprint for selling products, you can instigate any buyer to buy your product. You have to develop interest and desire through a ad copy that also develop urgency to take the action.

Use Search Engines to Reach People Looking For Your Online Service

We all go to Google when we face any problem and are looking for a solution. This tells how strong role search engine results can play in bringing people to your website when they are searching for a solution of their problems.

Building a website would not bring people to your business. You have to invest in online marketing techniques known as Search engine optimization or Pay per click advertising to attract potential customers to your website. Let’s define these two strategies in detail,

  • Search engine optimization (commonly known as SEO)helps your website to be shown on first page when people search for a solution that your product can solve.

Search engine optimization also known as SEO, is a way to bring targeted people to your website by finding and targeting the right keywords related to your product.

  • Pay per click advertising (commonly known as PPC) is another online marketing technique in which you pay Google for every click on your website.

Your website is shown on the top of the page hence it gets more visibility and direct paid traffic. PPC campaigns can bring instant traffic to your website but it requires big budget to run PPC campaigns.

These approaches can be technical for a layman to understand but you can always hire a seo company in Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad, who can help you to be found on internet by your potential customers. This way your website will be showing up when people will be searching for a problem that your product or service solves.

Pro Tip: With these two online marketing strategies, you can even target people in other countries and offer them your services without having any physical office in the other country.
