Back in 2018, a United Nations Development Programme report said 64 percent of Pakistan's population was under the age of 30. Pakistan has one of the world's youngest populations.
In South Asia, it is one-upped only by Afghanistan. This means that 64 percent of Pakistan is made up of Millennials, Gen-Z and whatever the new generation will call itself. These generations have and will grow up in times of increased digitization. With the onset of the global pandemic, they're even learning and working digitally. These young people are Pakistan's foundation. They will ultimately construct the country's digital economy.
