Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Youth Affairs Shaza Fatima Khawaja termed youth as strength of the country, saying that about 68 per cent of Pakistan’s population consists of youth which means that almost two-thirds of people in Pakistan are under 30 years of age. Addressing the launching ceremony of Next Generation Research Report 2023 in London, the SAPM said that the incumbent government was fully cognizant of the problems being faced by the youth and making every possible effort to lead the youth towards mass improvement through various initiatives.

The SAPM further said the government and the British Council had been working together since 1948 in a trusted and long-term partnership, with the aim of establishing bilateral relations. “The Next Generation Report is a timely resource for all stakeholders in Pakistan to formulate policies to address the multiple crises facing Pakistan,” she added. She said that aiming at empowering the youth of the country, the Prime Minister’s Youth Program was facilitating youth through various initiatives which include Prime Minister’s Youth Business and Agriculture Loan Scheme, laptop scheme, Skills and Qualifications through, Sports Focused Engagement Programs through the Higher Education Commission, and climate change initiatives.
