Pakistanis should refrain from talking about India's unemployment rate whose own country is surviving on IMF bailout packages

After clinching deal with IMF, Pakistan plans to generate around $10bn in loans

ISLAMABAD: After striking a staff level agreement with the IMF, Pakistan has made plans to generate approximately $9 to $10 billion in loans from other multilateral creditors, including the World...

Well, to be frank it's not about the hell hole or something like that. The issue is our economy, which is too small to support and enrol all of our young labor force. You see, population of Pakistan is increasing 4-5 million each year. And we only create 300-500 thousand jobs each year. Education level is also increasing in Pakistan. This means we produce more graduates then what we can adjust in our economy. So it's obvious that those individuals will seek jobs in those markets which have jobs but lack labor force. I mean, this is the obvious reason why Indians are #2 demographics in majority of Arab countries and large diaspora of Indians in US, UK, Canada etc.

Brofessor sb,

As per your statistics, there are almost 5 times as many Pak emigrants as Indians. But they sent back only USD 31 billion as remittances as compared to USD 89 billion by Indians. Why?

Regards

Well, 32 million Indians and 8.8 million Pakistanis live and work abroad. So the gap in remittances is justified. Infact, Pakistan's remittances per person is still more then India as per 8.8 million Indians send 24.5 billion while same number of Pakistanis last year sent 31 billion dollars.

And you also know that majority of Indians moved out in 90s and 2000s. The rate may be slow now but you had an early start. Also, I search and according to one source still 2.5 million indians go to other countries to work each year.

A common myth about emigration is that it is driven by poverty. But the fact is that the poorest and least developed people tend to stay put where they are; they do not migrate. It's only people who have a certain level of income and skills who are more likely to migrate to other countries for better opportunities. This fact has been well-established by multiple studies conducted in Africa.

Here's an except of African Development Bank report on migration:

"Results show that despite increase in the absolute number of migrants, Africa, particularly SubSaharan Africa has one of the lowest rate of emigration in the world .... Poorer countries generally have lower rate of emigration ......Bad socio-economic conditions generally seem to lead to higher rate of emigration by highly skilled individuals. Generally, migration is driven by motives to improve livelihoods with notable evidence on changes in labor market status. Often, self-employed or unemployed émigré ended up in wage employment. The paper outlines policy issues emerging from the migration trend in Africa."

US tops UAE in remittances to India: RBI paper

US tops UAE in remittances to India: RBI paper

As the top recipient, India was expected to be one of the worst affected - with a projected decline of 23% - as the host country basket of the diaspora was vulnerable to the twin effects of economic slowdown and slump in oil prices.

economictimes.indiatimes.com

Remittances from the Indian diaspora in the US surged through the Covid months that saw a contraction in inflows from the traditional Gulf stronghold as jobs, contact-intensive and outdoor-oriented, were lost in West Asia through the initial shutdowns.

Research by central bank economists showed that the US surpassed the UAE as the top source country, accounting for 23% of total remittances in 2020-21. "This corroborates with the World Bank report (2021) citing an economic recovery.

"A lot of the remittance flow has got to do with the jobs and economic conditions in the host countries," said Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda NSE 3.80 %. "Remittances from the Gulf region were almost nil because of the slowdown and many had to face job losses. But in the US where most Indians are employed in IT and other white-collar jobs, the employment situation was more stable during the pandemic restrictions.

As the top recipient, India was expected to be one of the worst affected - with a projected decline of 23% - as the host country basket of the diaspora was vulnerable to the twin effects of economic slowdown and slump in oil prices. Defying the early projections, however, India remained the top recipient, accounting for 12% of total global remittances, recording a marginal decline of 0.2% in 2020 and a growth of 8% in 2021.

You can't study if you are hungry.

India ranks 94th among 107 nations ranked by World Hunger Index in 2020. Other South Asians have fared better: Pakistan (88), Nepal (73), Bangladesh (75), Sri Lanka (64) and Myanmar (78) – and only Afghanistan has fared worse at 99th place. The COVID19 pandemic has worsened India's hunger and malnutrition. Tens of thousands of Indian children were forced to go to sleep on an empty stomach as the daily wage workers lost their livelihood and Prime Minister Narendra Modi imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the South Asian nation. Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan opted for "smart lockdown" that reduced the impact on daily wage earners. China, the place where COVID19 virus first emerged, is among 17 countries with the lowest level of hunger.

Idk it is seriously hard to believe that the average bangladeshi/nepali performs better than the average pakistani in hunger. Food prices in pak are still amongst the lowest in the region, not just that the live stock population is pakistan on a per capita basis is far ahead of other countries. I dont know what methodology these studies use but in every case india and bangladeshs figures are exagerated significantly while pakistans is supressed.

Pakistan needs significant population control asap. We need a 1 child policy for provinces such as KP, Balochistan, and interior sindh, while 2 child policy for richer regions such as central punjab/islamabad/AJK.

We need to cut population is anything.

The number is the highest in the past five years, U.S. being the country whose citizenship is most sought after
Over 1.6 lakh Indians renounced their citizenship in 2021, highest in the past five years, according to information provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Over 78,000 Indians acquired U.S. citizenship, the highest among all other countries, by giving up Indian citizenship. India does not allow dual citizenship.

Haha
We can study even if our index of hunger is lower than few countries whose economy is in bad shape .
India govt provided free ration during pandemic to all villages and poor class in urban areas . Indians are leading world organisations that is because of education , countries with better hunger index are getting food help from india .
