Abstract

This research paper investigates the role of youth as catalysts for effective governance in Pakistan and proposes strategies to boost their chances of success. Approximately 60% of Pakistan's population consists of young individuals, who possess significant potential to contribute to the advancement of prosperity and efficient administration. The research predominantly uses qualitative methodologies to investigate the diverse contributions of young individuals to governance in Pakistan. Thematic analysis is used to examine the qualitative data in order to find repeating themes and get insights about young participation in governance. The present study emphasizes that youth unemployment and inadequate guidance hinder the potential of young individuals. Parenting, education, and media have a vital role in molding one's character. In order to construct a robust Pakistan, it is crucial to have inclusive education, comprehensive training, and career guidance. These measures help reduce prejudice and violence, while also nurturing the development of future scientists, engineers, and political leaders.
