Pakistan is experiencing a significant exodus of skilled professionals, with approximately 5,000 doctors, 11,000 engineers, and 13,000 accountants leaving the country in the past two years. This trend, attributed to economic instability and political uncertainty, contradicts Army Chief General Asim Munir's characterization of overseas migration as a "brain gain." Data indicates a substantial increase in overall overseas employment registrations, with a notable surge in nurse migration. Concerns are also raised about the impact of internet shutdowns on the freelance sector.
