Several studies have shown that employment is critical to the health of the economy. The term “emergency” refers to a situation in which a person’s life is put in jeopardy due to an unforeseen event. It allows workers to increase their capacity for information as well as their expertise, which has a “snowball effect” on future recruitment opportunities by fostering the development of new businesses.
A significant increase in Pakistan’s employment rate was only a fantasy and a dream prior to the development of the CPEC project. Unfortunately, the majority of domestic workers lacked the specialized skills and experience required for the jobs created by CPEC’s early harvest programs. As a result, Chinese businesses began to prioritize foreign workers. So, these projects employed far more unskilled domestic workers than qualified or technical Pakistani workers.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an infrastructure development project worth billions of dollars that is part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The CPEC project includes the expansion of Gwadar port, as well as the construction of roads, railways, and energy infrastructure. PowerChina, a Chinese state-owned enterprise, is actively involved in the construction of power infrastructure projects such as the Port Qasim Power Project under the CPEC program.
In terms of youth empowerment particularly youth development and employment, the CPEC project and associated energy infrastructure projects have the potential to open up new opportunities in Pakistan. For example, the design and operation of power plants such as the Port Qasim Power Plant necessitate a wide range of skills, including engineering, project management, and maintenance. Young people in Pakistan can improve their job prospects by acquiring these skills through education and training. The CPEC project has the potential to generate a wide range of jobs in industries such as tourism, hospitality, and logistics. Young people may find work in areas such as shipping and customs, as well as the development and management of hotels and resorts, as a result of the development of the Port of Gwadar, for example.
A number of infrastructure and development projects, including the CPEC, were launched in 2013 as part of China’s grandiose “Belt and Road” initiative (BRI). It is a significant development project that will transform Pakistan’s economy by constructing new transportation and energy infrastructure and connecting China to the Arabian Sea. The project entails the construction of a network of roads, railways, and pipelines to transport oil and gas from the port of Gwadar in southwest Pakistan to Xinjiang in northwest China. The term “solar power” refers to the use of solar energy to generate electricity. The plan also includes the development of industrial parks to attract foreign investment and boost manufacturing growth.
