A conceptual frame work of independent variable unemployment and dependent variable brain drain while monthly income and educational qualification of the respondents were the controlling variables. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS for Uni, Bi and Multi Variate analysis. Furthermore, indexation was also carried out between dependent and independent variables. The overall reliability was checked through Cronbach alpha which stood at 0.7. In this way, saturation of public sector, lack of any patronized policy, overpopulation,non-harness, private sector and general unjust political climate were found the main causes of brain drain.At bi - variate level lack of any patronized policy, overpopulation, non-honors private sector, lack of better employment opportunities on line to the qualification, incapable institutional framework and high level of expectations on part of relative families were highly significant (P = 0.000) with brain drain. At multivariate level a non-spurious relationship was found for age group of 25- 45 years between unemployment and brain drain while controlling age group. Also a non-spurious correlation was found for monthly income level of PKR 60000- 120000 while controlling monthly income. A vibrant private sector, jobs on merit proper educational attainment, minimizing political interference in provision of jobs through enactments of relevant laws were suggested as policy recommendations in light of the study.
