Survey of Pakistan’s Young Predicts ‘Disaster’ if Their Needs Aren’t Addressed

A majority of Pakistan's young generation feel abandoned by their government and are torn between their heritage of Islamic law and the hope democracy carries. Reporters believe a divided country will emerge if these needs are explored. With an exploding population and fighting insurgency in the western mountains, Pakistan could see a rapid economic and social change or fight this issue for decades to come. Many reasons why these young people are not satisfied with their government is because they don't feel as if they have means for success with a poor education system and lack of jobs. A third of Pakistanis interviewed were mostly concerned with the inflation rate rises so fast, which last year sent 7 percent back into poverty. Many have distrust in governmental organizations, but feel tied to their religion over anything else.
