flag Over 760,000 Pakistanis emigrated for work in 2025, driven by a 7.1% unemployment rate and worsening economic conditions, according to the finance ministry’s January 2026 update. flag Remittances reached $38.5 billion in fiscal year 2025, making them the largest source of non-debt foreign earnings, but this growth reflects economic distress rather than prosperity. flag The exodus includes a rising number of skilled professionals in medicine, engineering, and accounting, fueling concerns about a damaging brain drain. flag Weak infrastructure, limited career advancement, and unstable working conditions are pushing talent abroad, while the government’s focus on capital-intensive projects and real estate has failed to create sustainable jobs. flag Despite record remittance inflows, the trend underscores systemic failures in job creation and long-term development.
