Government Job Security vs. Efficiency: Finding the Balance in Pakistan
Permanent jobs with absolute job security have made the government officers complacent. It has brought great inefficiencies in the system, while also limited the dreams of the youth to just becoming a grade 17 officer. The pension system has become a massive fiscal burden on the exchequer, and the government will soon be unable to finance the pension bill.
PIDE research shows that the Life time cost of hiring a BPS-1 government employee in present value will be PKR 27 billion including salary, pensions, perks and other operational costs. An individual hired in the year 2024 will remain be expected to be in service till 2069, but be liable for government payments till the year 2089 either him or herself, or their family.
- Is the new employee worth the cost?
- Do we have any plan for reforming the pensions system by moving to a
contributory system and establishing pension funds?
- Job security is necessary, but does job security be unconditional or subject
to performance?
- Is there any analysis of how many government servants we need?
- Should politicians have the right to appoint government servants wherever they like?
- Do we have to worry about the productivity of the government servants?
- Our youth is dreaming of a government job where they have to do nothing and will be paid for lifetime. Is this desirable?

    A man has been in journalism for three decades in a failed and bankrupt state and is in pain describing the failures in simple Urdu sentences. All he ends up uttering is the phrase “political uncertainty.” There is a certainty. Pakistan army state runs a puppet show. Puppets come and go. Generals stay intact. Pakistan army state runs its own economy. Faugi Foundation and other criminal enterprises. Journalist may find it difficult to believe that Pakistan as a country actually doesn’t exist.

    I read the book SOPHIE's World. In the book writer used beautiful metaphor for philosopher. He attributed the "world" as a rabbit which came out from the hat as a result of magic. He denotes people with the rabbit hair. For philosophers he said that these are those people who tried to jump up from the hair and examine reality beyond the fur of rabbit. Regretfully in Pakistan owing to disgusting cultural practices critical thinking is shunned. If one tries to think differently people started labeling them as non-conformist and culturally not fit. Even though if someone is interested in reading books fellows started to criticize them that with derogatory remarks like 'Book worm' or 'Kitabon mein rehny waly dunya nahi samjhty'. But they don't know only fools despise wisdom.
