The South Asian Countries have been a significant source of labour migration to different parts of the world especially to the Gulf region for a long time. The oil boom of the early 1970s had attracted a long number of South Asian work forces to the Gulf Countries. The major countries sending their labour to the six Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries are India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The presence of South Asian workers is quite significant in the GCC Countries. They constitute about 15 million in the Gulf region. The inflows of the Gulf remittances are found to be quite notable in these South Asian Countries. South Asia, being the largest source region of migration to the Gulf, received a record amount of $147 billion remittances during 2020. According to a recent World Bank data, among the South Asian Countries, India is the largest receiver of remittances in the world with $83 billion in 2020. Bangladesh and Pakistan also hold a position within the 10 largest receivers of remittances with Pakistan receiving $22.5 billion. This chapter aims at discussing how migration and remittances play an important role in socio-economic development in South Asian region. It examines the labour migration from Pakistan to the Gulf region, flows and trends, countries of destination, remittances, policy framework and gaps, poverty and development, impact of Covid-19 on labour migration and Pakistan’s economy, and finally possible steps to be taken to tackle the crisis.
