Message from the Federal Minister
History of mankind is replete with the examples of people migrating from one
country to another either for permanent settlement or for a short duration in search of better
social and economic conditions. This is different than historical migration in the remote
past when there were few checks on the movements of the people leaving one region for
another. But the present migration between the countries is not open-ended. There are
strong state interventions usually in the form of statutory and regulatory measures both in
the country of origin as well as in the country of destination.
There are about 7.6 million Overseas Pakistanis working/living around the globe.
The main concentration of overseas Pakistanis is in Middle East, Europe and America.
They are contributing in the development of economy of Pakistan by sending remittances
which is the second largest source of foreign exchange after exports of the country,
increased from US$ 13.920 billion in 2012-13 to US$ 15.832 billion in 2013-14.
With a view to ensure the welfare of Pakistani expatriates and their dependents in
Pakistan; the Ministry has established 19 offices of Community Welfare Attaches (CWAs,)
in 16 Pakistan Missions in 14 countries. To implement the policy of austerity, the
Government decided to close down seven offices of CWAs where the concentration of OPs
is less. Similarly, keeping in view the security situation in Libya and increased job
opportunities for Pakistani labour force in Iraq, the Community Welfare Wing in Tripoli
was transferred to Baghdad (Iraq).
Pakistanis Workers who are working in Saudi Arabia on Azad Visas or working
with employers other than their own sponsors/Kafeels, declared illegal by Saudis
Government. The Saudi Government had introduced a program called Nitaqat Program
(Saudization) aiming at arresting and deporting illegal foreign workers. The Government
had given a grace period upto 3rd November, 2013 to correct their legal status. Under this
program, about 950,000 Pakistani workers corrected their legal status. Pakistan had been
able to regularize the highest number of foreign workers of any single foreign community.
Moreover, the Ministry is engaged in promotion of welfare of industrial and

commercial workers, by providing them social security benefits like old-age pension with
ease and dignity, housing facility, shelter to registered workers, free secondary education
and scholarships for higher studies to the children of workers as well as other welfare
measures like marriage/death grants. The Ministry is also responsible for strengthening of
employee-employer relation as well as coordination with the Provincial Governments,
International Labour Organization and other relevant international agencies. The Ministry
formulates policies, development strategies and reviews existing policies.
The Ministrys Departments/Organizations will continue to play their role in
discharging the assigned tasks.

3.1 Number of Overseas Pakistanis
The data of overseas Pakistanis (OPs) is collected through Ministry of Foreign

Affairs/Pak Missions abroad. There are about 7.6 million OPs living/working/studying in
different countries as on 31-12-2013 (Table 1). About 49%of the total OPs are living in
Middle Eastern countries followed by Europe 28% and America 16%.
3.2 Workers Remittances

OPs are contributing in the development of economy by sending remittances, which is
the second largest source of national foreign exchange after exports of the country. The
remittances increased from US$ 13.920 billion in 2012-13 to US$ 15.832 billion in 2013-14
(Table 2).
The amount remitted by Overseas Pakistanis during the last few years has increased
remarkably. During the financial year 1999-2000, foreign remittances sent by Overseas
Pakistanis were less than US$ 1 billion, whereas the same were nearly US$ 16 billion during
2013-14. The foreign exchange remittances received during the last 10 years are as under:-

3.3 Redressal of Grievances of OPs
The Police & Revenue Departments of all the Provincial Governments

including AJK & Gilgit Baltistan have nominated their designated desks at district
level to redress all the complaints being received from the Overseas Pakistanis.
During the year 2013-14, about 1600 complaints were received, 70% of these
complaints were disposed off whereas the remaining are in process. The response of
the designated desks in Police and Revenue Departments is very encouraging.
3.4 Nitaqat Program (Saudization)
The Saudi Labour Ministry has introduced a new strategy to tackle the issue of
unemployment in the country which is called Nitaqat Program. According to the
program, foreigners will be replaced by the Saudi workers.
In a Cabinet meeting of the Government of Saudi Arabia held on March 18,

2013, a decision was taken to declare all the foreign workers who were working as
Free Lancers (on so called Azad Visas) i.e. working with employers other than their
own sponsors/Kafeels illegal. Resultantly, a campaign was launched in the third
week of March by combined teams of Ministry of Labour and Immigration
Department aimed at arresting and deporting such illegal foreign workers of all
nationalities as part of the Nitaqat Program (Saudization). Subsequently, the
ongoing campaign was suspended and a grace period of six months was granted uptill
3rd November, 2013 for regularization of their visas.
About 950,000 Pakistanis corrected their legal status during the grace period.
Pakistan had been able to regularize the highest number of foreign workers of any
single foreign community as compared to other foreign nationalities in the Kingdom.
Approximately, 56,000 Pakistanis traveled back from the Kingdom during amnesty
period. Pak. Mission at Riyadh had registered 2,100 such Pakistanis who could not
correct their legal status in the Kingdom. During the amnesty period, Pak Mission had
been regularly holding Job Fairs in major cities in order to create employment
opportunities for Pakistani workers.
On completion of the extended grace period, the Saudi Government has

announced that all illegal foreign workers would now be considered for final exit
provided they do not have any criminal record and such workers will not be able to go
back to the Kingdom for employment in future.
9
In order to employ these returnees gainfully, Bureau of Emigration & Overseas
Employment (BE & OE) had issued instructions to the Overseas Employment
Promoters to give preference to those Pakistani returnees who are willing to proceed to
other Gulf countries. Moreover, the case was taken up with all concerned agencies
including OPF for resolution of problems of returning Pakistanis.
However, after the end of the grace period, the issuance of work visas for the
Pakistani workers in different categories has increased manifold. A number of
companies are approaching the Embassy of Pakistan, Riyadh for obtaining visit visas
of Pakistan to recruit a considerable number of Pakistani workers. The Saudi Ministry
of Labor has introduced a number of initiatives to safeguard the rights of the foreign
workers in the Kingdom. Some of these are as under:-
a) It has been made mandatory for the employers to issue the Work Permit
(Iqama) of their newly recruited workers within 90 days of their arrival in the
Kingdom failing which the worker would be free to change his sponsorship to
a new employer without the permission of the actual employer.
b) If the Iqama of any worker has not been renewed by his

Kafeel/employer on its expiry, the worker has the right to approach the Labor
Court and change his sponsor.
c) If the employer is in Red Category under the Nitaqat Program, the

worker has the right either to leave the Kingdom or change his sponsorship.
d) If the employer does not pay the salary to the worker for consecutive
three months according to the contractual agreement, the worker can change
his sponsorship without the permission of his actual employer.
e) Wage protection system has been introduced; according to which it

would be mandatory for the employer to open individual bank accounts of
every worker and ATM cards would be issued to them. The employer would be
bound to deposit the salaries of each worker in their accounts at the start of
every month; the implementation of which would be monitored by the Saudi
Ministry of Labor.
A meeting of the Ambassadors along with the Labour Attaches of all the major
manpower exporting counties was held on 13th May, 2014 in Riyadh with the Saudi
Labour Minister, Deputy Labor Ministers and other senior officials. The Labour
Minister explained in detail about the above mentioned new initiatives taken regarding
recruitment of foreign workers. Important guidelines of the new labor laws issued
during the meeting have been translated in Urdu by the Pak-Mission for the benefit of
Pak nationals.

4. EMIGRATION/OVERSEAS PAKISTANIS WING
The Emigration/OP Wing is responsible for posting of Community Welfare
Attaches (CWAs) abroad. The export of human resource for employment abroad is
one of the core functions of the Ministry. It not only lays down the parameters of
policy regarding export of Pakistani manpower, but also signs MoUs and Agreements
with labour importing countries. The two important organizations working under the
administrative control of this Wing are the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas
Employment (BE & OE) and Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC). This Wing
looks after the State Life Emigrants Insurance Fund (SLEIF) as well. The Wing also
grants, renews and cancels the licenses of Overseas Employment Promoters (OEPs).
4.1 Posting of Community Welfare Attaches (CWAs) abroad
Ministry of Overseas and Human Resource Development is entrusted to

provide better services to overseas Pakistanis through improved facilities at
airports and launching suitable schemes in housing, education, health &
rehabilitation of returning overseas Pakistanis who contribute to foreign
exchange in the form of remittances. Besides this, one of the main functions of
this Ministry is to assess man-power demand across the world and to create
employment opportunities for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labor abroad.
With a view to ensure the welfare of Pakistanis expatriates and their

dependents in Pakistan; the Government has established office of Community
Welfare Attaches (CWAs,) in 16 Pakistan Missions of 14 counties and 19 posts
of CWA under the administrative control of this Ministry (Table 3).
To implement the policy of austerity the Government decided to close

down seven CWAs offices in foreign missions abroad. Similarly, keeping in
view the increased job opportunities for Pakistani labour force, the Community
Welfare Wing in Tripoli was transferred to Baghdad (Iraq). The Wing has been
established and the officials have started performing their duties.
During the year 2013-14 seven posts of CWAs become vacant which
are being filled through a transparent system from the existing Government
servants. The Ministry, this time has decided to introduce a test system
conducted through an independent organization before making final selection.
The process is expected to complete shortly.
Each CWA is assisted by one Assistant, one APS/Steno typist selected
from serving employees of this Ministry in accordance with laid down criteria.
The selection of officials in process and is expected to complete shortly.
Furthermore, the CWAs have the services of one staff car driver.
The CWA-I and II Sections of Emigration Wing are dealing with the
administrative matter, budgetary matters, passport issues and accommodation
matters, of the all CWAs and staff. However, brief/synopsis of CWAs
functions is as follows:
12
i. To promote Overseas Employment for Pakistani manpower in the
countries of their accreditation.
ii. To look after the welfare of the Pakistani Emigrants;
iii. To safeguard the interests of the Pakistani Emigrants in the host

country and settle their dispute, if any, with their employers;
iv. To attend the complaints and grievances of the Pakistani Emigrants and
take remedial steps for redressing their complaints; and
v. To send periodical reports to the Ministry on all aspects of activities

including labour market trends, inflation and cost of living, etc.
Achievements During Financial Year 2013-14.
i. A Memorandum of Understanding in the areas of Labour and Occupational

training between the Government of Kingdom of Bahrain and Government of
Islamic Republic of Pakistan was signed on 19th March, 2014.
ii. During the period under report 269 new licenses to Overseas Employment
Promoters (OEPs) were issued / transferred and 02 licenses of OEPs were
cancelled.
4.2 BUREAU OF EMIGRATION & OVERSEAS EMPLOYMENT (BE & OE)
Pakistan has managed the dynamic and persistent phenomenon of migration in
a supportive and flexible manner. The high migration potentials in Pakistan and the
recent policy have served to keep majority of the migrants flow in regular channels.
As such, in order to handle the export of manpower in a legal way and systematic
manner three Federal Government departments i.e. i) National Manpower council, ii)
Protectorate of Emigrants and iii) Directorate of Seamens Welfare were amalgamated
to form the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment, as an attached department
of Ministry of Labour & Manpower in the year 1971 with the prime objective to
promote/ regulate emigration and to protect emigrants. In order to achieve this
objective, Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment has evolved systematic
and programmatic policies under the Emigration Ordinance, 1979 and the Rules made
there under. The policies are implemented through different regional offices of the
Bureau named as Protectorate of Emigrants, located at Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi,
Peshawar, Quetta, Malakand and Multan. These regional offices control and monitor
the private recruiting agents. The Government also carries the recruiting business
through Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC). Pakistan, therefore, follows a mix
of the Regulated and the State-Managed models. Prior to the 70s, the outflow of
Pakistani workers was toward the West i.e Europe, USA, Canada and mainly to UK
etc.
13
In the early 70s, however, the upsurge of developmental activities and
booming economies in the developing countries, in general and oil rich countries of
Gulf and Middle East, in particular, being deficient in manpower resources attracted
manpower from south East Asian countries including Pakistan. Pakistan having
surplus labour economy made effective and constructive polices to capture the labour
markets of these countries.
Emerging Situation in the Gulf Area.

The Geo-Political scenario in the world, in general and Gulf Area in particular,
appears to be changing rapidly which, in prima facie, depicts bleak and pessimistic
picture about foreign employment for Gulf. Pakistani manpower in the Gulf region as
the Middle Eastern countries are having major and traditional manpower importing
labour markets for absorption of Pakistani workforce.
Export of Manpower:
Since 1971, approximately 7.4 million persons have proceeded for
employment abroad duly registered by the Bureau/Protector of Emigrants. From the
years 1971 to 2014 (Upto June). Owing to the endeavours made by the Government
and licensed Overseas Employment Promoters, 650,999 persons were registered with
the regional offices namely Protector of Emigrants of Bureau Of Emigration and
Overseas Employment during the financial year 2012-13 whereas, 668,719 persons
were registered during the financial year 2013-14 witnessed an increase of about
2.72%. It may be pointed out that the export of manpower in the year 2011 was a
record and is the 1st peak year in the history of Overseas Employment. The export of
manpower has been mostly to Saudi Arabia followed by UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain
and Kuwait. These are traditional manpower importing countries and having major
labour absorptive markets for Pakistani workforce.
The sharp rise in human resource export can be witnessed from the table given
below:-
S No. Period No. of emigrants Net Increase %age Increase
1 1971-1980 608,093 - -
2 1981-1990 1,001,897

1,104,794 46.48
5 2011-2014 1,780,869 - -
14
Category Wise Trend:
Pakistan is providing its professionals, Highly Qualified, highly Skilled,
Skilled, besides Semi-Skilled and Un-Skilled workers of high caliber and technical
know-how to non-traditional as well traditional workforce recipient countries in more
than seventy different trades. About 39 % of the total are labourers followed by drivers
(10%) and Mason (7.7%). The highly qualified professionals i.e. Engineers and
Doctors are few in number.
Country-Wise Export of Manpower Trend.

So far as the international labour absorbing markets with reference to Pakistan
are concerned, it can be said categorically that Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arab,
UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar are having the vast and major Labour intake
of Pakistani workforce. Country-wise trend in the export of manpower to these
countries is at (Table-5).
a) The Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is the largest importer of Pakistani manpower. According to

Bureaus record 250,909 Pakistanis were registered with the regional offices i.e.
Protector of Emigrants for employment in Saudi Arabia during the financial year 2013-
14. Owing to continuous endeavors of the honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan and
Federal Minister for Human Resource Development, Saudi Arabia will be the leading
host country and hope to achieve encouraging growth rate of the intake of Pakistani
manpower to Saudi Arabia this year.
15
b) United Arab Emirates(UAE)
UAE is the second largest recipient of Pakistani manpower. As per record,
335,311 Pakistanis proceeded to UAE for employment during the financial year 2013-
14. UAE is also in a bid to expand the industrialization and hope that in future more job
opportunities will be available for Pakistanis Workers to increase the growth rate of
Pakistani manpower.
c) Oman
Pakistan is providing its manpower to Oman in different 40 trades. 42,722
Pakistani workers obtained jobs during the financial year 2013-14.
d) Kuwait
As many as 239 persons were registered for employment in Kuwait during the
financial year 2013-14 indicating a decrease in manpower. Two main problems resulted
in the imposition of visa restrictions on Pakistanis due to drug trafficking and forged
passports. These restrictions have been lifted recently with the concerted efforts of the
Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development.
Commitment made with the Kuwait authorities needs to be fulfilled by controlling these
problems to open the doors for Pakistani manpower in Kuwait and in future, the
manpower export to Kuwait will increase.
e) Bahrain
8,164 persons proceeded to Bahrain for the purpose of employment during the
financial year 2013-14, showing a decline of 19.7% over the previous year (10,162).
f) Qatar
8,625 persons obtained employment in Qatar during the financial year 2013-14,
increased by 17.1% over the previous year (7,365).
g) Libya
3,690 persons obtained employment in Libya during the financial year 2013-14,
decreased by 13.2% over the previous year (4,253), due to political disturbance in
the country.
h) Korea
Only 31 persons obtained employment in Korea during the period 2013-14 through
Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment, this figure is other than those who got
employment through OEC.
i) Malaysia
11,602 persons obtained employment in Malaysia during the period 2013-14.
October 20th 2003, a MoU signed between the Government of Pakistan and Malaysia for
export of semi-skilled and un-skilled workers to Malaysia has become effective and
operative. It is of course, a big achievement and conducive step towards boosting the
export of manpower. MoUs on such pattern are required to be made/ signed with
other traditional and non-traditional manpower importing countries.
16
Measures Taken for Boosting the Export of Manpower
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for joint working of Federal Investigation

Agency (FIA) and the BE&OE is under preparation to deal with cases of complaints lodged
against fake recruitment agents and OEPs. As and when approved it would be signed with a
view to curb illegal emigration collectively. However, since last one year Inter Agency Task
Force (AITF) has been formed by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to keep on board
the sister Organizations like Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment, Frontier
Constabulary, Coast Guard, Marine time Agency, NADRA, Immigration & Passport, Inter
Services Intelligence & Intelligence Bureau to curb illegal migration through coordinated
efforts.
i) The Overseas Employment Promoters having good reputation are granted permissions to
collect CVs for meeting immediate nature of manpower demands and build up a data
bank of their own.
ii) Verification of demands for manpower recruitment are being made through fax,
telephone messages, internet and e-mail, to avoid delay and to ensure prompt processing
thereof.
iii) Protector of Emigrants are disposing all permission/ registration work in one day.
iv) Training as specified by Malaysia and Korea is being imparted to workers proceeding to
these countries to familiarize them with law, culture and work place communication
prevailing there.
