More young people in Pakistan
believe the country should be run
according to Sharia law or else by
the military than favour democratic
governance, according to a new
survey.
Just weeks before the country goes
to the polls in what is seen as an
historic election, the survey of
people aged between 18-29 suggests
94 per cent of those questioned
believe the country is headed in the
wrong direction. That figure is up
from with 86 per cent in 2009 and
just 50 per cent in 2007.
According to the poll, conducted by
the British Council, only 29 per cent
of young Pakistanis believe
democracy is the best political
system for the country.
By contrast, 32 per cent support
governance by the military, which
has ruled Pakistan for more than
half its history, while 38 per cent
said they believed the country
should be ruled according to Islamic
law. Indeed, while the civilian
government has just 14 per cent of
public support, the army is
supported by 77 per cent of those
questioned.
The report, carried out between
December 2012 and January 2013,
suggests young people in Pakistan
have seen few benefits from
democracy under the rule of
President Asif Ali Zardari and the
Pakistan Peoples Party. It has been
published weeks away from an
election scheduled for May 11 that
will mark the first time in the
countrys history that one
democratically-elected government
has completed its full term and
been replaced by another elected
administration.
Young people are losing confidence
in the democratic system, the
report says. Leaders of all political
persuasions have a duty to convince
the youth that they remain
committed to undiluted democracy
for Pakistan.
It adds: The youth of Pakistan have
a pessimistic outlook today, but it is
important to remember their fervour
for the country is unbridled and
passionate. A substantial majority of
the youth still believe that they will
have a role in changing the country
for the better, and policy makers
need to address their needs to
accrue the benefits of their
patriotism.
The report says that 30 per cent of
registered voters, around 25m
people in all, are aged between 18
and 29. Although the report found
widespread pessimism about the
benefits of democracy, it also
discovered that 60 per cent of those
questioned intended to vote in the
upcoming election. A further ten per
cent said they would be persuaded
to go to the polls and make their
mark.
[Young people] will participate and
vote actively in comparison to any
elections in the past, Roshna Khan,
a 24 year-old from Mansehra in
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, told
the pollsters.
Another young person quoted in the
survey, Umey Aymen, a student from
Quetta, in Baluchistan, said: The
youth is more clued up and they
understand that only their vote can
bring the difference that they have
been waiting for.
Pakistan is confronting a host of
problems, including a faltering
economy, inadequate infrastructure
and a persistent threat from
extremists and militants. The survey
found that 44 per cent listed
inflation as the biggest concern,
followed by 19 per cent who
mentioned unemployment while 11
per cent listed terrorism.
The report, available at
www.nextgeneration.com.pk , says
that young people are starved of
opportunities. Just one in ten is in
stable employment while more than
one third are either still students,
working for themselves or working as
day labourers. Half of those
questioned are not working.
Young people have very low levels
of confidence in the institutions
government, parliament, political
parties most responsible for
setting the countrys direction, the
report says. In contrast, the justice
system and the media have higher
approval ratings, as does Pakistans
armed forces.
Raza Rumi, an Islamabad-based
writer and analyst, said he believed
the survey reflected the Islamisation
that Pakistan had undergone since
the late 1970s and 1980s and which
had become pervasive throughout
the education system.
The results are not surprising and
we face a really confused young
population that is brainwashed with
visions of a glorious Islamic past and
the gritty reality of unemployment,
insecurity and political turmoil, he
said. The last five years of
democracy have also been
misrepresented by the same
elements who are permanent
stakeholders in non-representative
forms of governance.
