Overseas employment has returned to its previous level, with over 1.5 lakh workers sent abroad during July-October this year.
Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Imran Ahmed disclosed the information on Wednesday.
He made the disclosure at the 14th meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment.
“We are constantly receiving demand letters, which contain job orders from employers in destination countries,” Imran said.
“The target for overseas employment will be met if the current trend continues. Although the current remittance flow has slowed down, it will soon be upwards. ”
After the meeting, the minister handed over the annual report of the ministry for the fiscal year 2020-21 to the chairman and members of the committee.
