India and Pakistan became independent together. Many systems are similar in India and Pakistan and the system is also similar to that of India. Just as the IS and IPS system exists in India, the same is also the case in Pakistan. Just like in India, there is competition for government jobs in Pakistan and a large number of people apply for even very few jobs. In such a situation, let us understand what are the conditions of government jobs in Pakistan.
The situation of government jobs in Pakistan can be understood with an example… In fact, in the year 2023, there was a police recruitment for 1600 posts in Pakistan. When the recruitment exam was organized, so many people came that even the largest stadium in Pakistan was filled with people and there was less space. At that time, more than 30,000 people had applied for 1,600 posts.
How many people get government jobs?
In Pakistan, just like in India, a large number of people are applying for jobs. In Pakistan, the maximum number of jobs are available in education, health and administration. According to the data of the year 2016, out of all the people who got jobs in Pakistan, 12.1 percent were in government jobs in the public sector, which was the highest figure in the world at that time. This means that a lot of jobs are being created in the public sector in Pakistan. According to the World Population Review report, 7.3 percent of the total workforce in Pakistan is in the public sector, while in India the share of the public sector is 3.8 percent.
According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics report, as of December 2022, there were 1,374,911 federal government employees in Pakistan. These employees include army employees, corporations, and common employees. But there are still many vacant posts where recruitment is required. In the year 2019, 492,564 posts were approved in Pakistan, out of which 397,487 posts were recruited and this is the situation every year.
How many types of government jobs are there?
In Pakistan, the federal government hires regular, contract and temporary employees. Regular employees there too receive pensions and many facilities, but the same is not true for other employees. The Pakistan government spends Rs 3 trillion on salaries and Rs 1.5 trillion on pensions of these government employees.
Pakistan’s government allocates 3 percent of public expenditure only for salaries of public sector employees. At the same time, senior officials here receive cash allowances, accommodation, official vehicle, medical services, etc.
What is the unemployment rate in Pakistan?
According to data for 2022, one-third of Pakistan’s youth are unemployed. According to data up to February 2022, 31 percent of youth under the age of 29 are unemployed. The unemployment rate in Pakistan is around 4.5 percent, but many people are engaged in low-productivity jobs and informal employment.
