Home Report calls on both provincial, federal govts to invest in human capital and reform governance A new study has painted a detailed and sobering portrait of youth in Balochistan, revealing a generation caught between soaring aspirations and grinding structural inequality, increasingly shaped by social media and shifting geopolitical currents. The study, published in the Contemporary Journal of Social Science Review and titled, "Voice of Balochistan’s Youth: Identity, Development and Geopolitical Perspectives", was led by Dr Siraj Bashir Baloch of the Department of Social Work at the University of Balochistan, Nomeen Kassi of the Department of International Relations at BUITEMS, and Dr Farah Naseer of the Department of Sociology at Sardar Bahadur Khan Women's University, and was conducted through surveys and personal communications with youth across the province. "The youth of Balochistan are not a problem to be managed, they are a resource being wasted," Dr Baloch said.
