People prefer public sector jobs as compared to private sector, which is a reason for high
and rising unemployment duration. Many developing countries have experienced an
appreciable rise in unemployment among educated youth, mostly those possessing
university degrees. This unemployment arises as a result of job preferences, since the
educated individuals prefer to remain unemployed rather than opt for a job in the private
sector. This paper attempts to study the determinants of preferences for public sector job
of the educated youth in district Peshawar. Primary data is collected from 210 respondents
in district Peshawar. Data is analyzed using multiple regression analysis to estimate the
relationship between job preferences and the factors affecting it. Age negatively affects
preferences for public sector job while wage differences, gender, education and job
insecurity effects positively job preferences for public sector jobs. It is concluded that more
fringe benefits are given in public sector job and less in private sector jobs. To control
unemployment, it is suggested that government must bring a balance between the public
and private sector jobs. In private sector jobs working hours are large and wage per hour
are less. There should be a proper job structure set by the government for private sector,
so that the workers are not exploited for personal interests.
