Democratic Attitude of Youth Evidence from Pakistan

Since the Arab spring, youth have been politically active in Asia through various modes. Regime revolution or failed takeover on 15 July 2016, in Turkey is its vibrant example. However, it’s unfortunate that the political perception, intention or attitude of youth towards democracy have not been included in the process of policy making. As a result, youth activism in politics remained unrecognized. Therefore, present work is an effort to explore democratic attitude of youth in Pakistan. The state of Pakistan has been selected because 64 % of her population comprises youth. Current study examines democratic attitude through four major independent variables: economic growth, democratic values, public participation and political stability. Data was collected from the respondents who were in between 18-35 years of age by distributing a survey questionnaire which was adopted from the literature. Data was analyzed through SPSS version 24.0. Result of the study suggests that all the developed hypotheses were accepted. Additionally, study finds that despite massive corruption, social injustice, favoritism, nepotism, political instability, economic crisis and many other problems, Pakistani youth overwhelmingly considers democracy, as the potential form of government and dislike any alternative of it. Current study may be the first stone in the stagnant water not only in measuring democratic attitude of young generation but it will also help them to understand what sort of democracy is needed in Pakistan.

Mathematical Model to Handle the Complex Situation in Any Organizational System

In an industrial organization, Management experience extra ordinary and multifaceted situations pertain to expenditures that are directly and indirectly related to the organization. Addressing problems, running the organization in an effective manner and making it profitable, is one of the foremost obligations of an organization. In order to facilitate the management, and to deal with the problems, an effort has been made to develop a Mathematical model conducive to their environment based on Operational Research Techniques. The core idea of the design involves deep analysis of the entire system and subsequently decision making rule for remedial measures. The linear optimization, being an important technique of OR shall play a pivotal role in the entire scenario to handle the complexities in an organization and also suggest solutions for the improvement of the situation in accordance with the set goals/objectives.
