Therefore, the role of government has been increased intensively to impose such type of economic policies that may generate employment opportunities for them. Thus, the current research investigates the relationship between macroeconomic variables, which represent monetary, fiscal, and trade policy, and youth unemployment in Pakistan. In the light of the results of the unit root test, this research applied the ARDL bounds test which confirms that a long relationship exists between macroeconomic variables and youth unemployment.

These results provide important implications to the policymakers of Pakistan for short-run and long-run policymaking..
