ARE WE A #Talent REPELLENT COUNTRY?
#Braindrain is a critical concern in #Pakistan, characterized by a substantial outflow of highly skilled #professionals seeking brighter prospects abroad. Factors such as economic #hardships, political instability, social suffocation and #security concerns act as compelling push factors, while the allure of better #opportunities and pay-offs abroad serves as a strong pull factor.
While the talent movement is essential to the continual renewal of knowledge in any country, it is worrisome when a country lacks the essential skills that are required to keep abreast with the global #knowledge pool and the needs of a modern #economy. Does Pakistan have adequate human #capital for its own needs?
- Do we have adequate opportunities for talent? With lateral entry sporadic and not all government jobs openly competitive, is there adequate room for good people in the #government?
- Are key jobs open to talented Pakistanis from anywhere? With Seth firms, is there any room for talent in the #corporate sector?
- With the current highly regulated economy, how easy is #entrepreneurship?
- Is the #incentive structure a barrier to attract talent into government, with
such incentives available to the incumbents alone?
- Is #investment growth and #productivity slowed down by a lack of talent?
- What can be done to retain talent? What kind of government policies can help reverse the #talent exodus?
