Abstract

This paper makes an effort to review Pakistani International Marxism from both a positive and a bad perspective. Economic challenges, a lack of employment possibilities, and inadequate governance are the primary reasons why people leave Pakistan; on the other hand, the three main ones that pull them to remain are the possibility of better employment elsewhere, stable governance, along with elevated standards of living. Using additional information from the authority’s publications, scholarly research, and internet sources, the analysis completes a previously undocumented economic aspect of migration. It highlights the dual character of movement: on the one hand, money from overseas are essential to Pakistan's financial system, but there are also significant issues with brain drain and employment incompatibilities. In order to give students a better knowledge of the dynamics of the migration of people, the study used qualitative approaches to identify some patterns and characteristics of the migration process. The report ends with actionable suggestions intended to reduce the strain on compelled migration, instill fresh optimism in the domestic setting, and engage foreigners in Pakistan's projects for development. Policymakers can create tactics that will transform migration from an indicator of a systemic breakdown to a tool of economic sustainability by understanding the true causes of displacement. In an effort to add to the growing corpus of research on Pakistani migration patterns, this report provides a broad assessment for the future administration of its difficulties as well as possibilities.
