International Migration And Brain Drain In Particular

The outmigration of highly educated people from a country is what's known as a "brain drain," and it's a problem in many countries. "Trade, education, and skilled human resources for trained health professionals" are the areas that are most negatively impacted by the brain drain, according to Dodani and LaPorte (2005). Brain drain may have beneficial impacts, such as creative and skilled individuals leaving their own nation to develop and discover who they are, and it can also enable immigrants to spend time living in other countries. The brain drain may also have unintended consequences, such as a reduction in human capital (Dodani and LaPorte, 2005, p. 488). Not only does relocating bright people to regions with ideal circumstances for development contribute to globalization, but it also helps contribute to the impression that the whole globe is just one big, happy family. The end effect of this is a rise not just in the average level of human capital but also in the total levels of economic productivity (Stark, 2004, p. 15). Although there are certain positive outcomes that may be attributed to brain drain, overall, it has more unfavorable consequences. This is true not just for the economy of the nation from which educated people travel, but also for the economy of the nation to which these persons eventually go. The loss of intellectual talent is by far the most significant factor contributing to the inability of developing nations to catch up with other nations in terms of technological advancement. People opt to leave their nation for a variety of reasons, the top three being a lack of employment prospects, social injustice, and financial instability. It represents the biggest number of people who want to leave their nation in search of better professional opportunities elsewhere. According to Davis and Hart (2010), "In 2000, a person with a university or graduate degree was legally able to be six times more likely to migrate than a person with less than one education." This means that people who can contribute to the growth of the economy, and therefore the growth of the nation, are leaving the country
