People belonging to different professions are quite frequently going abroad to different countries around the globe in search of jobs suiting their academic and professional qualifications or even otherwise mainly due to ever increasing inflation and unemployment in the country. This was indeed quite shocking and alarming indeed to say the least.
Millions of young Pakistanis were quite worried about the prevailing political and economic situation in the country in recent years.
About 765000 skilled Pakistanis had gone abroad in search of jobs only in 2022 , according to the reliable data available from different sources in this regard.
More than 92000 people with advanced degrees have moved abroad to become engineers, doctors, IT specialists, accountants and associate engineers wherever they can find suitable jobs in other countries around the globe.
As many as 5534 engineers, 18000 electrical associate engineers, 2500 doctors and more than 2000 computer specialists are included. There were also 213000 drivers and 332800 workers . Available statistics show that 736000 young Pakistanis have travelled to the Gulf countries this year, another 40000 Pakistanis have travelled to European and Asian countries.
Nearly 470000 Pakistani youth have travelled to Saudi Arabia, 119000 to Oman, 77000 to Muscat ,51634 to Qatar and 2000 to Kuwait.

Given the prevailing situation in Pakistan, it is not only very sad but worrisome that a large number of people of varying age were unemployed . Among them are even people who were highly capable and a few of them even have a good education and meet all the requirements for a particular job but their talent was going waste just because of unemployment.
