But they do not have right/mechanisms to vote ??

No offense but nothing gonna change unless Pakistanis living inside Pakistan stop importing tons of useless stuff.

A nation of 220 million humans should be producing most of what it consumes.

And this is the money sent through banks, not hawala, or cash taken by travellers. From the UK alone there are 6-7000 spouse visas issued a year to Pakistani nationals. Tens of thousands of pounds are spent at each of those weddings every year in Pakistan. Most of that money comes with the travellers.

Add to that house building, charity and land purchase, and it is a huge philup to the economy.

Increase the local production and reduce imports!

A Pew Research study said that the number of Indians living abroad were much higher than the UN estimate for the same time. It said 15.6 million Indians were living abroad which meant 5% of all international immigrants were Indians.

Incidentally, India was the top most country to receive remittances ($69 billion) from its migrants for the same year, followed by China ($64 billion) and Philippines ($29 billion).

President and CEO of Western Union in an article for the World Economic Forum quoted a National Foundation for American Policy study said 33% of companies founded by migrants were started by Indians and 7% of all UK companies were set up by Indians.

Within the US community alone, 21% of Indian migrants are in management, business or finance occupations, compared with 11% of all migrants. Meanwhile, 7% of all UK companies were founded by Indians. In the US, 33% of immigrant-founded companies had an Indian founder.

most overseas who send money back to Pakistan are doing low profile jobs as they cannot afford to keep families there so they send back money for their family but those who are more educated and do high level job buy property and keep their family in foreign country and send no money back to Pakistan
