7.3 Million Pakistanis Emigrate Over a Decade Amid Political Turmoil

Over the past decade, a migration trend has emerged in Pakistan, with approximately 7.3 million citizens moving abroad.

Of the 7.3 million Pakistanis who emigrated over the past decade, a staggering 6.2 million left during the tenures of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

The figure includes 350,000 highly educated individuals, highlighting a brain drain that has escalated particularly under the current and preceding governments.

Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s supremo Nawaz Sharif has frequently blamed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the country’s challenges. However, the data presents a contrasting narrative, suggesting that the larger exodus occurred under the PML-N and PDM’s reign.

During the PML-N’s five-year term alone, 3.8 million Pakistanis left the country, and in the subsequent two and a half years under the PDM, another 2.5 million followed, including those 350,000 highly educated professionals.

The trend underscores a deep-seated governance and economic management issue that has persisted through these administrations. It challenges Sharif’s assertions and indicates a continuous pattern of decline that began well before the PTI’s term.

خوفناک انکشاف 🚨

پچھلے دس سالوں میں 73 لاکھ، ان میں سے 62 لاکھ پاکستانی ن لیگ اور PDM کے دور میں باہر چلے گئے ، ن لیگ کے پانچ سالہ دور میں 38 لاکھ جبکہ پی ڈی ایم کے ڈھائی سالہ دور میں 25 لاکھ پاکستانی ملک سے ہجرت کر گئے جن میں اعلیٰ ترین تعلیم یافتہ ساڑھے 3 لاکھ پاکستانی ہیں ۔… pic.twitter.com/9bFT8sr4V7

The departure of such a large number of skilled and educated individuals reflects on the economic conditions and points to potential political and social factors influencing these migration decisions.
