The future of Pakistan will largely depend on how the preferences of its youth align with socioeconomic realities. The country risks becoming more divided than it is now. Limited economic growth, increasing inequality, and widespread unemployment could lead to frustration.
Urbanisation could worsen these issues by concentrating frustrated youth in cities where there are few constructive outlets for their energy. The root cause of these frustrations lies in the state's failure to meet the basic needs of its people. Reforms will be needed to ensure future stability.
