    The infamous Brain Drain is one of the greatest downfalls of a country, since, it works against developing nations. It can be defined as the mass emigration of technically skilled workers that will migrate from one country to another to have a better income. The reason behind this mass migration is based on the countries of origin. In particular, a social environment is a cause of the brain drain, while in terms of individual purpose; it refers to a preference of lifestyle. These people are usually skilled professionals who migrate to pursue higher salaries (Karpilo 2010). According to CNN World; the National Unions of Students in Europe (ESIB) was suffering a serious long-term internal brain drain because more European students are going to Britain due to educational and employment reasons. Many people from Poland migrate to the West…

    The concept of brain drain is of a recent one that has ever strongly emerged since the last few decades. The phrase brain drain refers to the increasing tendency of the young, energetic, capable and talented youth of a country to migrate to another country in search of their fortune — rather better fortune. They forsake their motherland for they seek better opportunities in other countries. This has become a characteristic more of the intelligentsia of the nation—the doctors, engineers, scientists, M.B.As, C.As, lawyers and other professionals.…

    This paper looks at the issues and challenges facing organizations and countries with regard to talent and its management, a topic which is particularly relevant at time when the world is facing a `talent crunch’. The document pays particular attention to the acquisition and retention of talent, and whilst it maintains a telecommunications bias, the paper adopts a global sector perspective, given the cross-cutting nature of the talent shortage, and the common behavior and response patterns of organizations and nations to this crisis. This paper recognizes the particular vulnerability of developing countries in the global competition for talent and the attendant dangers of brain drain on the economies of these countries. Brain drain is here defined as the permanent loss of skilled manpower to other countries. However, the paper draws on evidence from the rapidly growing economies of China and India on how there can be a reversal of the brain drain, or even a brain gain. Based on this evidence, the paper seeks to provide some comfort to any sense of fatalism among the developing countries towards the perceived inevitability of the brain drain. It is within the reach of organizations and nations to address the brain drain, by adopting a mix of deliberate policy interventions at national level and new talent management practices at organizational level in order to attract and retain talent at a time it is…

    Brain drain (or human capital flight), is the large-scale emigration of a large group of individuals with technical skills or knowledge. The reasons usually include two aspects which respectively come from countries and individuals. In terms of countries, the reasons may be social environment (in source countries: lack of opportunities, political instability or oppression, economic depression, health risks, etc.; in host countries: rich opportunities, political stability and freedom, developed economy, better living conditions, etc.). In terms of individual reasons, there are family influence (overseas relatives), and personal preference: preference for exploring, ambition for an improved career, etc. Although the term originally referred to technology workers leaving a nation, the meaning has broadened into: "the departure of educated or professional people from one country, economic sector, or field for another, usually for better pay or living conditions". Brain drain is usually regarded as an economic cost, since emigrants usually take with them the fraction of value of their training sponsored by the government or other organizations. It is a parallel of capital flight, which refers to the same movement of financial capital. Brain drain is often associated with de-skilling of emigrants in their country of destination, while their country of emigration experiences the draining of skilled individuals. Brain Drain may also refer to a situation wherein an individual fails to complete any given task as a result of a nervous breakdown…

    As stressed, one can notice a ‘reverse brain drain’ in both China and India. This development has several causes like the economic development in these countries. On top of this governments play an important roll in stimulating this ‘reverse brain drain’. They apply several policies like changes in the domestic environment, the freedom to immigrate and emigrate freely, political stability, and changes in how the government uses people. In both India and China one can notice these governments policies to stimulate this process (Saxenian, 2005). In this chapter policies for both countries will be stressed.…

    Recent year, brain drain issue once again becomes one of the hot discussed among the Malaysian. According to recent parliamentary report, approximately 140,000 Malaysia left the country in 2007 while the figure was double up to 305,000 between March 2008 and August 2009 as talented Malaysia pulled up stakes, apparently disillusioned by rising crime, a tainted judiciary, human right abuses, and outmoded education system and some other concern (Mariam, 2010). However according Asrul (2011), World Bank identified three reasons behind the country’s brain drain after conducted an online survey in February 2011 of 200 Malaysians living abroad. The report stated that 60 per cent of the respondents found that social injustice as their main concern to migrate or return-migrate, citing unequal access to scholarships and higher education especially among the younger generation within the non-Bumiputera community while 66 percent mentioned that lack of career prospect was a major factor and 54 percent agreed that unattractive salaries as underlying factors in the Malaysian diaspora.…

    4. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF BRAIN DRAIN :- There are numerous flows of skilled and trained persons from developing to developed countries. In these flows engineers, medical personnel and scientists usually tend to predominate. They are characterized by large flows from a comparatively small number of developed countries and by small flows from a larger number of developing countries. The migratory trends are stimulated both by the character of national educational systems by lack and inadequate planning for the training of students from developing countries, in developed states as well as the proper utilization of their-skills in their home country etc.…
