Why government jobs are much lucrative in Pakistan? Pakistan is an agricultural country. The industry has not been developed in Pakistan in the English era. When Pakistan free from Great Britain then Pakistan had no sources to giving the jobs to the people. All the industry and developing infrastructure was developed in India. This is the reason for the jobs shortage in Pakistan. Every person after completing the education wants to a government job. Government jobs are a very lucrative source in Pakistan where people don’t give attention to the private sector and business. People aware to get a lot of benefits during the job such as medical treatment, children quota after retirement in the jobs, annual increment, compensations, free house facility during the job, a sufficient monthly salary, and pension. The main purpose of education for children in Pakistan is government jobs. This was the main reason of failing to get the new opportunities. People do not prefer the private sector. Thus all the burden has shifted the government because government appoints the people against the policies.
Why is government job better then
private job?
Government jobs are considered as
the prosperity of the people. People teach their children for a government job.
In Pakistan, the main purpose of education is not humanity but a job. Pakistani
people are habitual to perform only 8 hours in a single day. They want to go
for the job early in the morning and get a salary at the end of the month. It is a very
easy process to understand because people secure the future with the
government. Government always secures the job but the private sector does not
secure the job. The private sector can terminate any time after giving the 14 days’
notice or more. Government policies secure the future of the employees. When an
employee got retirement from the government institution then the government gives a
lot of benefits in the case of gratuity and pension. Whereas, the private sector does
not give any security of pension and gratuity. The private sector does not give
medical facilities and special quotas for children's education and job. So government
job is better than private jobs.
What is the benefit of a Government job?
We have often seen the government
employees get the salary on the first date of the month. Government increases the
salary every year. The government gives the opportunity of promotion every year
and increases the additional allowances. Government sets the quota for the
government employs in various universities. The government gives the job quota for the employed children. The government gives insurance policies in case of death during the job and gives medical
facilities. This is the reason that our youth prefer the government job. A
government employee can take retirement after completing 25 years of a government job. If he wants to continue the job the government gives an extension
for two to three years.
What is the difference between a government job and a private job?
There are a lot of differences
between government jobs and private jobs in Pakistan. Future is not secure of
private employs. Private industries can terminate after giving the 14 days’
notice. Government employees are secure if they did not participate in any illegal
activities. Health insurance, home allowance, children's education allowance are
the major benefits. Compare to the private sector do not give annual leave,
medical leave, gratuity, and monthly pension.
Why do government generate new
jobs?
The main reason for increasing
unemployment in Pakistan is not developing the new industry. The government has
failed to bring new foreign investors. The policies to install the new industry
in Pakistan are not attractive for foreign investors. Taxes are very high in
the country. Oil, gas, and electricity rates are very high. Mostly investor has
shifted in neighbor countries due to insufficient condition. Peace conditions and
political stability in Pakistan were not so good compare to neighboring countries.
That was the reason that government cannot continue the investor-friendly
policies.
