Abstract: As the need for a long-run perspective in development planning becomes recognized in Pakistan, the long-term problems of the economy are bound to become policy issues of great importance. The future employment of a rapidly increasing labour force is one such problem, although it cannot, of course, be separated from the problems of growth of investment and output. Although planning goals have, in the past, been set essentially in terms of growth of national and per-capita income, planners cannot ignore the problem of employment. Large numbers of the existing labour force are now either unemployed or underemployed1, and to these are added the new entrants to the labour force as population increases.
