In all the developed countries, pay package of Doctors, Engineers and Technicians is almost same with a very minor and ignorable difference. But in Pakistan an Engineer gets almost double to triple pay than an Associate Engineer. And it is sufficiently many times more than other technicians who have other technical and vocational education usually 02 years and 01 year diplomas of their specific fields. And in some industries a fresh technician hardly gets wages equal to a laborer.
It is not said that their should be equal salaries for engineers, technicians and skilled persons, but it is suggested that the difference should be reduced. High salary differences caused a brain drain of Pakistani Technicians to Europe, Canada, Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait etc resulting huge loss to Pakistani economy and industry.
In multinational companies operating in Pakistan, an Associate Engineer gets salary from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 150,000 per month. In developed countries and even in Arab Countries, a Pakistani Associate Engineer is earning from Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 400,000 per month. But in Pakistan it is hard for a fresh Associate Engineer to earn for his livings. Normal pay package for a fresh Associate Engineer is from Rs. 7,000 to 15,000. Is it not injustice?
Government of Pakistan should raise wages of technical work force.
