flag 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.

flag 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. flag Key barriers include poverty, household duties, long distances to schools, unsafe transport, early marriage, and restrictive social norms. flag Most out-of-school youth lack access to paid work, with many in unstable, informal jobs earning under Rs25,000 monthly. flag Over 90% have never received vocational training, and widespread malnutrition, chronic pain, and mental health issues persist due to limited healthcare access. flag Without intervention, these challenges perpetuate cycles of poverty and exclusion.
