Pakistan’s 2023 census shows most youth and adolescents, especially young women, are out of school due to poverty, early marriage, and lack of access.
Pakistan’s 2023 census reveals that 63% of youth and 23% of adolescents have never attended school, with nearly 75% of young women aged 15 to 29 never enrolled, compared to about half of young men.
Key barriers include poverty, household duties, long distances to schools, unsafe transport, early marriage, and restrictive social norms.
Most out-of-school youth lack access to paid work, with many in unstable, informal jobs earning under Rs25,000 monthly.
Over 90% have never received vocational training, and widespread malnutrition, chronic pain, and mental health issues persist due to limited healthcare access.
Without intervention, these challenges perpetuate cycles of poverty and exclusion.
