Description

There is a lot of speculation and very little solid information about the size, growth, functions and skill mix of the employees serving the government in Pakistan. This article attempts to provide an updated overview of the civilian labour force employed by federal, provincial and state-owned enterprises and autonomous bodies. It traces the evolution of federal and provincial employment since the passage of the 18th Amendment and the 7th NFC Award. We also present the distribution of these employees according to the constitutionally enshrined functions of the executive branch and classification according to the skill intensity. The size of the armed forces in current employment paid out of the defence budget is not included. However, civilians working in the armed forces are included in the numbers presented here. Military pensioners paid out of the civilian budget are included in the pension data.
