February 13, 2026


Migration is very rare in Pakistan !
When asked in Pakistan Bureau of Statistics Labor Force , how long have you been in the district the respondents was, 95% respondents said they were born in the same district where the survey was happening.
The highest proportion of those not born in the same district was in Punjab where 6% said they were not born in the same district. Highest was in Balochistan where 98% respondents were born in the same district.
Even for those who are 65+ , the ratio of being born in another district is only 10%
