Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
A Paradigm-Shift in Future Job Security Among Students in Pakistan has deep-rooted socio-economic implications, particularly affecting students and young graduates. The Lower Dir region within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa serves as a unique context for examining the multi-faceted dynamics shaping students' evolving perceptions of job security. Our study investigates these factors and their impact on students in this region, aiming to offer comprehensive insights into the shifting paradigms of job security. The research uses Thomas Kuhn's paradigm shift theory as a theoretical framework to explore changing perceptions of job security. The conceptual framework delves into socio-economic factors impacting students' perceptions in the Lower Dir region. The study universe encompasses students within Lower Dir, focusing on understanding their evolving attitudes regarding job security. Sampling methods employed the Sekaran table to determine a sample size of 327 from the total population of 3,426. Data collection involved structured interviews with a Likert scale. SPSS software was used for data analysis, including univariate and bi-variate analyses and a T-Test to understand the association between variables. The research suggests addressing socio-economic determinants to shape students' perceptions, informing policy-making and educational interventions. The study recommended that policy interventions should align educational curricula with industry demands, fostering entrepreneurial skills and providing career guidance.
