Abstract
Pakistan is the world's sixth most populous country having 64% population
below the age of 30. Yet we don’t have billion-dollar social enterprises like the
ones in other developing countries, such as Brazil, Turkey, Malaysia. Even our
neighboring country India with similar dynamics and complex environments has
more social entrepreneurs and billion-dollar companies as compared to
Pakistan. The purpose of this study is to find out as to why our youth is more
inclined toward safer jobs than starting their enterprise especially social
entrepreneurship which can generate value. What initiatives and support the
government needs to provide to the youth, to encourage them to start their
businesses. The study explores the burning issues of the country and in which
specific sector Pakistani youth has been most active so that the government can
solve their problems and provide solutions making a living through
entrepreneurship in a respectable way especially for women. The paper also
studies women who have been running successful social enterprises in Pakistan,
what were their motivations and success factors. The study makes
recommendations by studying both successful and unsuccessful ventures in the
past few decades via content analysis of secondary data.
