Departure of skilled professionals

[RIP Pak LAW]

Good, hell with this country and their 'real' rulers

A million for Pakistan is more valuable than a million for India compared to the size of the population, the quality of education, and how many graduates they pump out of the system compared to our useless schools.

We have had about a million turn up as students just in the UK and they aren't going back to India.

Paltry number compared to the number of Indians running abroad:-

More undocumented Indians attempt to enter the United States – DW – 02/01/2023

The arrivals of Indians without visas at the US border shot up drastically in 2022. With India growing its middle class, what is drawing more people to take the risk?

I would not know which has a bigger impact in terms of brain drain.

I am surprised Pakistanis are able to get visas to emigrate in the first place.

You would be surprised wouldn't you , Indian? Problem is that you Indians believe in your own Hindjew lies. Contrary to your beliefs Pakistanis are doing well and will overtake the Hindjews in every field, soon, inshallah.

Quit exaggerating. USA has the largest higher education system on the planet. We have a maximum of 200,000 to 300,000 Indians.

For UK it is something like this

You would be surprised wouldn't you , Indian?

I am sitting in USA. What would I know ?

For starters Indian immigration to USA is one dimensional - primarily engineers - largely software engineers. Immigration of doctors, accountants, scientists is somewhat limited or close to zero.

Departure of skilled professionals | The Express Tribune

Pakistan is facing a severe brain drain crisis

tribune.com.pk

Pakistan is facing a severe brain drain crisis as a significant number of its citizens, including highly skilled professionals, are moving abroad in search of better opportunities. In the first six months of the current year, over 800,000 Pakistanis have emigrated, about 100,000 of whom are highly trained individuals such as doctors, nurses, engineers, IT experts and accountants.

The surge in emigration has been a growing concern for our country in recent years, but the departure of highly trained professionals has intensified the issue. The nation is grappling with multiple challenges that contribute to this brain drain, including a crumbling economy, political instability, rising unemployment, soaring inflation and the prevalence of extremist ideologies. These factors have created an environment that pushes skilled individuals to seek better prospects abroad.

According to Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, 832,000 individuals — 400,000 of whom are educated and qualified professionals — have left the country by June this year. The figures for 2022 — during which 225,000 Pakistanis emigrated — are three times higher than those for 2021; while 2020 had seen 280,000 individuals leaving the country. Since both 2020 and 2021 were pandemic years with global travel restrictions in place, it makes the current figures even more concerning.

The brain drain crisis has far-reaching consequences for a developing country like Pakistan. Its healthcare sector suffers from the departure of doctors and nurses. The loss of skilled engineers and IT experts hampers technological progress and industrial development in the country.

Brain drain diminishes productivity, deterring economic growth and causing dependency on expatriate remittances which exposes the economy to global instability. Departing skilled workers disrupt families, fracturing social unity and dynamics. The nation forfeits precious intellectual capital crucial for advancing research, education and societal advancement.

Underlying factors regarding Pakistan’s brain drain also involve political instability, life-threatening social deviance, extremist upsurge, absence of quality employment and more.

The country’s economy is crumbling, leading to limited job opportunities and inadequate wages for skilled professionals. Soaring inflation has eroded the purchasing power of the population, making it challenging to sustain a decent standard of living.

Frequent changes in government and political unrest create an uncertain environment, deterring foreign and domestic investments. Inconsistent policies thwart business growth and undermine confidence in the government.

There is an absence of foolproof security too. The rise of extremist ideologies has created an atmosphere of fear and insecurity among professionals and their families. Persistent security challenges in certain regions discourage professionals from staying in the country.

There is a dire need to prioritise a quality education as well as job creation in sectors with a demand for skilled professionals. We should offer competitive salaries and benefits to incentivise skilled individuals to stay in the country; establish transparent governance systems to build trust in institutions and attract favourable market; ensure policy consistency to provide businesses and professionals with a predictable environment; work to promote education, research and vocational training to empower youth with job-relevant skills and stimulate research-driven economic growth; tackle extremist ideologies to improve the overall security environment; and launch social welfare programmes to provide a safety net for vulnerable populations, including skilled professionals.

Brain drain crisis is a pressing issue that demands urgent attention and collective efforts from the government and stakeholders. There is need to embark upon a comprehensive reforms programmes in various sectors to create an environment that ensures growth and opportunities for citizens. It is crucial for the country to address the underlying causes of brain drain and work towards creating a conducive environment for its skilled workforce to flourish and contribute to its development and progress.

After I left Pakistan, no one demanded bribe from me, no one told me that I am muhajir or Punjabi and that I can't get the job because of it, no one robbed me, govt takes tax from me and protects me, I can change jobs based on my ability any time, and much more.
The funny part is, the people who thinks that me and my elders don't belong to Sindh are also running away from Sindh.

Anyway, leave Pakistan asap. Trust me, your children will get the full fruit of that.
