The government of Pakistan is preparing to implement a new rightsizing policy aimed at streamlining the public sector workforce. This decision comes as part of a broader effort to reduce state expenditures and enhance efficiency within government departments. Under this policy, several positions that are considered redundant or non-essential will be abolished, including mid-level administrative roles that have long been criticized for contributing to bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Sources within the government suggest that the move is primarily focused on departments where job duplication has been identified. The Ministry of Finance has spearheaded this initiative, emphasizing the importance of making government departments leaner and more productive. The rightsizing policy is expected to affect thousands of jobs across multiple sectors, particularly in federal and provincial administrative bodies.
Critics of the plan argue that the decision may lead to increased unemployment at a time when Pakistan’s economy is already struggling. On the other hand, proponents believe that this move will lead to long-term savings and a more efficient public sector. The government has assured that affected employees will be offered compensation packages, while efforts will be made to create alternative employment opportunities in the private sector.
