Late last month, the cabinet reportedly approved the extension of licences for 86 foreign pilots currently employed in Pakistan for the past two years. The country is being relegated to such inefficiency that despite having several overstaffed government entities, we still need to pay foreigners lucrative salaries to work in various departments.
Millions of young people are entering an already squeezed job market and, due to overstaffing in our government departments and poor economic growth, new jobs are not being generated. If are hiring practices were based on merit and fair rewards, we not have to rely on foreign employees and would be able to create more jobs for Pakistanis.
