Immigration to other countries is often viewed as more benefi­cial than staying in Pakistan. Eco­nomic challenges, coupled with stories of friends and family seek­ing better prospects abroad, in­tensify the desire to escape dimin­ishing earnings. Global wealth disparity extends beyond national borders, reflect­ing an uneven distribution of wealth worldwide. This phenom­enon goes beyond individual na­tions, affecting multiple countries with factors such as income in­equality, geographical disparities, and social and economic elements. As of August 2023, official data shows that the number of immi­grants from Pakistan surpassed 540,000, highlighting the wide­spread wealth disparity and peo­ple’s discontent.
