Brain Drain of Pakistan: Highly Educated & Top Pakistanis leave Country | Leaving Pakistan accelerated three times | Pakistan's brightest leaving the country

Lack of Senior Management and Senior citizens dislike towards promoting brightest Pakistanis on top positions, which they feel threatened. Over 60s Pakistanis do not let talented people from age 20 to 55 to come to top positions in all types of companies and institutes in Pakistan.

Brain drain: Thousands of highly educated professionals leave Pakistan​

Continuous political unrest, nepotism, army interference and deepening economic difficulties have been main reasons

View attachment 905583

Thousands of highly educated and professional persons have been forced to leave Pakistan due to the country’s continuous political unrest and deepening economic difficulties.

Pakistan is in danger of losing its productive human capital as progressively intelligent and skilled people are saying goodbye and never paying heed to return to their own country. The term brain drain refers to the departure of people with the highest levels of education, experience and professionals in the quest for higher income, better living standards, access to vanguard technology, and more stable socio-economic-political environments in various parts of the world. Additionally, it has adverse effects on the origin country inclusive of all sectors either education, health systems, or economy.

Brain drain is triggered by globalization, and transnational corporations (TNCs) and often favors the economies that use these people to fill skill shortages. The central aim of this article is to explore the reasons for the departure of highly skilled and talented people from Pakistan. Due to its multisectoral impacts, this is a crucial issue for future investors and policymakers.

According to the document of the Bureau of Immigration, this year alone saw a 300 percent spike in the country’s brain drain with as many as 765,000 people leaving Pakistan for a better life overseas.

Thousands of highly educated and professional persons have been forced to leave Pakistan due to the country’s continuous political unrest and deepening economic difficulties.

According to the document of the Bureau of Immigration, this year alone saw a 300 percent spike in the country’s brain drain with as many as 765,000 people leaving Pakistan for a better life overseas.


92,000 highly educated individuals including physicians, engineers, information technology specialists and accountants were also included in this year’s report. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia received the majority of them.

Pakistan has lost 7,000 engineers, 25,000 physicians, 1,600 nurses, 2,000 computer professionals, 6,500 accountants, 2,600 agricultural experts and 9,00 teachers due to this brain drain this year.

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Malaysia, China, Japan, Turkey, Sudan, Romania, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Greece and Italy were chosen by Pakistani specialists this year for the prospects over these countries.

The results have shown that approximately 40,000 kids had travelled to Europe and other Asian nations while over 730,000 of the youth had gone to the Gulf States. The statistics have indicated that 470,000 Pakistanis left for Saudi Arabia for work followed by 119,000 for the United Arab Emirates, 77,000 for Oman, 51,634 for Qatar and 2,000 for Kuwait.

A dangerous situation for Pakistan is coming

We have heard it often enough at dinner tables and formal discussions about Pakistan’s youth and one issue is brought up repeatedly – Pakistan’s brain drain. With 63% of this 220 million people country under the age of 30, the brain drain represents a significant proportion of the population and their resentment to leave Pakistan which in turn mirrors a deeply flawed system where Pakistan is unable to retain and utilize its best talent.

While there may be different reasons for the youth to reach its full potential in Pakistan, some of which include lack of opportunity, tough circumstances, an unforgiving environment or unsupportive parents. Looking at the numbers, around nine million Pakistanis currently work abroad which includes both skilled and unskilled labour as well as students going abroad for their undergrad or graduate studies. Thus, it is not surprising when we hear the remark, Pakistan may reh kar kiya karo gay [What will you do if you remain in Pakistan]. These remarks are a sobering reminder of the deep resentment and mistrust of the opportunities in ones homeland, in fact, if Pakistan were able to utilize its best talent it could become an industrial powerhouse in the area and help with some other deep seated issues such as the balance of payment and the import-export issues. While the recent investment of two major companies namely, Kliner Perkins and Nestle, are promising signs of a hopeful future as well as the Serie A funding secured by young Pakistani college graduates, it still goes a long way towards addressing the issues that would (partially) stop the brain drain.

Brain versus the Bran.

If there is a huge Bran drainn and Mil Establishment people, owing to so much dislike and ridicule at home starts moving to other countries of their choice, Pakistan would be a great place to live and prosper.

Fish rots from the top, a few braindead, megalomaniac generals are destroying this beautiful country and the hope of the people. Leave or retreat, retrospect.

Why ? Which are the countries Pakistanis went to and going to settle?

The maximum left country are Punjabis, then Paktoons/pathans, then FATA, then Azad Khasmirs, then Sindh, Balochistan and finally Islamabad. Pakistanis are going to overseas, technical, highly educated professionals are now going to work abroad.

ISLAMABAD: With an increasing number of skilled individuals leaving the country for greener pastures, Pakistan might be on the brink of losing its brain capital.

According to a report provided by the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment, more than ten million Pakistani citizens have bid-adieu to the country for better professional and financial opportunities.

Experts believe the field of engineering has taken the worst hit. "The field of engineering is the worst hit due to lack of development in the country," said Chairman Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) Javed Saleem Qureshi.

"There are almost no jobs in this field. That is the number one reason for engineers to leave the country," he PEC chairman added.

With inflation rising and economic uncertainty gripping the country, more and more skilled professionals opt to leave Pakistan. Unemployment is another factor that forces professionals to exit the country.

In the last two years alone, some 884,000 young Pakistani have left the country, according to the official registrations at the bureau of emigration.

The record indicates more than 300,000 Pakistanis left the country in 2018. The figure soared to 500,000 this year. The data from the bureau shows a growing trend of what easily qualifies as the flight of human capital from the country. Most of these individuals are fresh graduates from local universities.

The document further shows that more than 29,000 highly educated Pakistanis decided to leave the country during this period. Similarly, over 17,000 highly trained and 369,000 skilled individuals left the country for jobs elsewhere in the world. Apart from skilled individuals, more than 340,000 from the labor force left the country.

Blue-eyed boys: Punjab govt grants undue favours to bureaucrats

Close examination of the figures provided by the bureau reveals about 10,000 engineers, 3,500 doctors, and 9,500 accountants traveled abroad for jobs during the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government's tenure, which came into power with the promise of reducing unemployment in the country.

For engineers in Pakistan, the PEC chairman urged the government to create opportunities. "There are 276,000 registered engineers in Pakistan, out of which more than 60,000 are jobless," he said. "Lack of development in the country leaves the engineers with no option but to leave the country," he added.

Taking a potshot at the academic system in the country, the PEC chairman said: "Our system of education is deeply flawed. We need competent people to be in this field."

In the last two years, 25,000 electricians, 3,000 teachers, 2,500 pharmacists, 500 nurses, and 13,000 Pakistanis skilled in the agriculture department left the country for foreign offerings.

Common destinations

Details provided by the Bureau of Emigration show Saudi Arabia as the most feasible destination for Pakistani workers. More than 5.3million moved to the kingdom for better opportunities. The United Arab Emirates took the second spot with 3.8million Pakistani citizens seeking better professional opportunities in the country. Similarly,

791, 000 left for Oman, 183,505 for Qatar, 171,428 for Bahrain, 183, 601 for Kuwait, 106,652 for Malaysia, 74, 624 for Iraq, 12,879 for Iran, and 13, 544 for Britain and about 6,000 left for the US.

Agreed!

Unfortunately, this is what happened to Lebanon. Now they don't have people to keep the lights on and water running in the faucets.

I recommend going to local mosques etc, that's our cammunity center and 7 out of 10 times people genuinely try to help you out

That's what my brother did when he moved to a different state, it worked for him hopefully it works for your cousin too- mosque people were friendly and its usually more often than not ran by Pakistanis

FB pages help.

Pakistanis diaspora need to support new Pakistani immigrants, my cousin is in Austrailia and came back for holidays, was telling us that if an indian come to Austrailia the whole indian community support them by buying a car, looking for a job and a place for living but if a Pakistani comes if he has any relatives or friend good for him but if not then he is left on mercy of God

Yeah can second that.

Pakistan would keep failing, falling and flailing unless these Generals, only a couple of hundreds stops political meddling, stops politcial engineering, and refrain from being the stooges and the snitches of the US, and work steadfast for the country and people.

So simple and yet so elusive. Blame this on the powerdrunk, hotheaded, dumb and narcissists Generals.





As of Feb. 29, there were 411 one stars, 299 two stars, 139 three stars, and 37 four-star active generals and admirals, with several more appointed recently.
