report on brain drain in pakistan
Chapter No 1
Introduction
Brain Draining means the out flow of the human capital from home country to the forign country. There is increasing rate of brain draining from the last decards1 Brain Draining has many causes like unemployment, lack of Govt. support, low facilities in home country, desire for better urban life etc lead the people toward migration which is loss for home country if they will not return to their home country.
The expression 'brain-drain migration' was popularized in the 1960s with the loss of skilled labor-power from a number of poor countries, notably India. The migration of skilled workers out of a country
The emigration of a significant proportion of a country's highly skilled, highly educated professional population, usually to other countries offering better economic and social opportunity (for example, physicians leaving a developing country to practice medicine in a developed country).
Permanent migration of skilled group of population from one country to anotherit is long term migration
The migration of educated or talented people from less economically advanced areas to more economically advanced areas, especially to large cities or richer countriesdepletion or loss of intellectual and technical personnel
A brain drain or human capital flight is an emigration of trained and talented individuals ("human capital") to other nations or jurisdictions, due to conflicts, lack of opportunity or health hazards where they are living.
It parallels the term "capital flight" which refers to financial capital that is no longer invested in the country where its owner lived and earned it.
Spokesmen for the Royal Society of London coined the expression “brain drain” to describe the outflow of scientists and technologists to Canada and the United States in the early 1950s when individuals educated in their home country emigrate for higher wages or better opportunitiesit drains more resources from the home country.
The UNESCO defines "brain drain" as an odd form of scientific exchange among states because it is characterized by a movement in one direction that inevitably flows to developed countries while encyclopedia Britannica defines the term as the departure of educated or professional people from one country, economic sector, or field for another usually for better pay or living condition
1.1 Problem Statement “Brain draining”
“The emigration of a significant proportion of a country's highly skilled, highly educated professional population, usually to other countries offering better economic and social opportunity” This study was designed to describe the loss of human capital due to BRAIN DRAIN.
1.2 Objective
In this report we conducted the research process on the topic of “BRAIN DRAIN”. We undertook the preparation of this report with the conviction that from past few decades there is a tremendous increase in the rate of brain drain in countries
We are also painfully aware that Pakistan According to official estimates of Pakistan's Overseas Employment Corporation, close to 36,000 professionals, including doctors, engineers and teachers, has migrated to other countries in the last 30 years. Interestingly, this number is indicative of only a small proportion of actual migration, since the majority of emigrants do not register.
If countries are serious about stemming its alarming brain drain, it must provide better job opportunities that properly remunerate workers based on their skills and talents. Otherwise, it will continue to lose its skilled labor to countries where benefits and opportunities are plentiful and a system based on merit versus contacts is in place.
We completed the eight steps of research process on “BRAIN DRAIN”. We completed the scientific research process to give our project a solid base and logical pattern.
1.3 Data Source
The study was involved about the feedback of BRAIN DRAINING from students . The major chunk of this research lies in the data collection that was involved primary data gathering from the students of different cities . The data was collected through a structured questionnaire distribute among the students. The questionnaire was presented to the students on the spot and given full assistance in understanding the different aspects asked in the questionnaire.

Literature Review Article Title:Reassesing The Impact of Brain Draining on D eveloping Countries
By :Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah
Institute for Public Policy Rsearch
The main cause of brain drain is the migration of skilled worker from developing countries to developed countries. The poverty rate in developing countries rises day by day as average rate of brain drain in some countries become alarming. It sounds not ethic to nib brain drain into the soil but there should be some remedies against the reason behind migration of skill workers as it impacts on the economic condition of the country.
Positive Aspects behind Brain Drain:- But along with that there are some positive aspects behind brain drain
1- Some of those who migrate return with greater skill.
2- To receive education from elsewhere besides home country enable one to learn and gain vast exposure.
3- Some unemployed or underemployed can cause trouble in home country so the migrations become beneficial at this stage.
4- Some times the migration of skill from home country compensated by new skill arrival e.g. South African doctors’ move towards developed country replaced by Cuban doctors.
5- So other impacts if we consider i.e. remittances, inward investment, technology transfer, increased trade flows.
Impacts of reducing the Brain Drain:-
1- 1-As some times brain drain is due to recruiting problem in home country so it is genuine problems which compel one to emigrate and to create hindrance in such situation create bad impacts.
2- Limits on migration from developing countries may be seen as a new form of "compassionate racism" in which the developed world restricts the opportunities of developing-country nationals.
3- Increasing wages, improving working conditions, and providing employment opportunities may be a far better approach than restricting mobility — and it is in supporting these efforts that developed countries might be most effective.
Conclusion
1- The first is to devise methodologies for differentiating between brain drain and brain strain.
2- (Brain Strain is in which the net outflow of highly skilled workers from a particular sector in a country is very likely to obstacle economic development)
3- If the negative impact of brain drain over whelms the positive effects then there should be some methodology which locate information on vacancy rates in key sectors, differentiate among present and previous change e.g. teacher/1000 children, change in economy, and other reasons behind the migration experience of people who leaves home country.
4- Increase literacy in that area’s where emigration is not as important.
5- To gather all these information and data include both qualitative as well as quantitative model which is complex as it would be difficult to collect all information about inflow and outflow of people.
6- Hence to calculate the causes of brain drain in more important as compare to eradicate the brain drain.
According to IMF, the migration rate (from Pakistan to the EDC countries) of individuals with a tertiary education is 7.6 per cent, while for India it is about 2.7 per cent; these figures, however, fail to take into account the sizable flow of professionals from the subcontinent to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates and therefore neglect an important component of the brain drain from the relevant source countries. The estimates show that there is an overall tendency for migration rates to be higher for highly educated individuals.
Another important implication of the brain drain is that investment in education in a developing country may not lead to faster economic growth if a large number of its highly educated people leave the country. Also, efforts to reduce specific skill shortages through improved educational opportunities may be largely futile unless measures are taken to offset existing incentives for highly educated people to emigrate.
According to Zahlan; Zahlan's analysis of recent trends of flows and certain emerging problems are given as follows. Zahlan concludes;
The migration of High Level Manpower (HLM) in the late 1970s and 1980s had been estimated by him to be of the order of 100,000 annually. The bulk of these were Europeans migrating to USA in the 1970s and 1980s. Since then majority of brain drain is both to Europe and USA from the third world.
Article Title:Situation of migration & potential available to reverse the brain drain ---Case from Pakistan.
Publication: Public Personnel Management.
PublicationDate: 22-Mar-05
Methodology: This study is based on relevant literature review, interviews of concered individuals and writer”s own experience . The paper draws cases from Pakistan to illustrate arguments on Brain Drain.
History:
Earliest examples of Brain Drain towards Europe was in time of Second World War.
Findings:
B.D cannot be stopped by nor it can be legislated against the right of individuals to move fro one country to another country.
Some industrialized countries like America and Canada, whose immigration policies tend to be more restrictive.
The case of Pakistan is not different a sizeable number of highly qualified professionals leaving the country.
Major causes of B.D are opportunities in travel, aspiring workers .Pakistan was never able to match the pays and perks offered by industrial countries.
Results:
To minimize B.D there should be optimum chances of advancement created by government. Better Law and order situations. Creation of National talent pool of professionals can also be helpful in Pakistan like in developed countries.
Article Title: How extensive is the Brain Drain.
Writer Name: William J. Carrington and Enrica Detragiache.
Methodolgy:
This study is based on the causes of migration from 61 developing countries accounting for about 70% of the total population of developing countries.
Findings:
By with census data 1990 U.S the writer finds the no of immigrants to U.S from each of these categories
Primary:(0 to 8 years of schooling )
Secondary: (9 to 12 years of schooling)
Teritary: (more 12 years of schooling)
Immigrants of primary schooling level is quite small(about 500,000 individuals out of 7 million)
With secondary education is about 3.7 million
Teritary education is 1.5 million.
Mostly immigrants from Africa are highly educated( about 95000 of the 128000) African immigrants.
Among the source of highly educated people biggest source is Philippines with 730000 immigrants .
Second largest source is China with 40000 immigrants.
For most countries people with teritary education have the highest migration rate, exception of central American countries. B.D to OECD countries: Unlike U.S Census this data source dose not report the years of schooling that migrant have received. Immigrants to United States from such countries are likely to be better educated than immigrants to the other OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development) countries.
Conclusion:
The results derived for U.S.A remain essentially valid. Our research also indicates several ways in which estimate of the B.D could be improved using existing data.Together with U.S --Australia, Canada, France and Germany, these four countries account for abuot 93% of total migratory flows to OECD countries.
According to Andrew Mountford
Department of Economics, Southampton University Southampton S017 1B J, UK
According to the writer ,Brain drain cause the developing country in a poverty trap as the average level of human capital wouldn’t grow because developed country suck its’ highly educated workers which increase the productivity of developed country but if successful emigration is not certainty then brain drain will increase the productivity of a developing country. The writer use the model in which two literatures are discussed
The growth and human capital accumulation literature
The migration and brain drain literature
So the brain drain literature is a branch of the migration literature which highlights the impact of migration when agents are not homogeneous. The large economy attract a small economy’s most able workers and the productivity externality is dependent upon the number of educated people and thus brain drain reduce the productivity in the original country. Writer sorted the immigration in two categories.
1-Effects of emigration for educated agents i.e. brain drain
2-Emigration for non educational agents i.e. a general emigration
And it is clear that the effects of brain drain involve in one’s economy growth and thus growth depends upon human accumulation literature.
Writer model shows that wage per efficiency unit of labor in the world economy is always higher than in the small economy area.
So capital and efficiency unit of labor contribute in the economy of one’s nation when educated worker migrates towards other nation. Hence the contribution margin of development rises.
The conclusion of the article is that the human capital is without external cause and interaction between its accumulation decisions, growth and income distribution leads to the result that a brain drain either temporary or permanent, might increase the long run income level and income equality in a small open economy and in certain circumstances, may even be preferable to a non-selective “general” emigration.

The problem of migration of medical specialist from developing countries to developed countries increasing day by day. There are various factors influencing such situation including both on national and personal level.
At national level include poor remuneration, bad working atmosphere, political instability, lack of funds and poor facilities, no career development , discrimination between researchers involve in brain drain. While at personal level, security problem, and threat of violence (personal enmity) and wish to provide a good education for their children
Solution of the problem:
It include demanding compensation from departing professionals, provide compulsory service, increase salaries, provide educational benefits for their children ,funding agencies should provide more resources to improve condition and training of health care professionals and researchers.
Role of Developed countries:
Developed countries should think of the consequences faced by the poorer countries due to brain drain on health care manpower. They should repay countries for the cost of training the health professional they import. So the impact on both countries should consider and the effectiveness of measures to deal with it.
Role of International Organizations:
As brain drain become a global problem so international organizations should address the preservation of the intellectual property of a nation, including health profession. These organizations international organizations, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Development Programmed, the World Bank, the World Medical Association, and the Council of International Organizations of Medical Societies. A global perspective, agreed ethical principles between countries, and a systematic approach using the convening power of international organizations should be the way to address the problem of brain drain.
According to Plumbing the brain drain
Nancy Gore Saravia1 & Juan Francisco Miranda
Brain drain is caused by “opportunities” either in getting better jobs or demand for higher education and skill provided by developed countries which attract most of the individual all around the world. The knowledge-intensive service industries and research centers include information, communication, finance, business, education and health draw in talented individuals worldwide through selective immigration policies, employment opportunities and targeted recruitment.
To control the movement and distribution of global talent, developing countries should implement strategies that must include world class education opportunities, develop knowledge based research and development industries so that it would lower down the migration rate of highly educated individual who seek its better future in other countries. Brazil, China and India offer these strategies in their own country to stop the brain drain.
Brain drain is not only concerned with developing countries but a serious challenge for developed countries in which Australia, Canada, the Russian Federation and countries in the European Union have all encountered the threat that migration poses to Economic growth. Here writer has introduced the term “Brain Recirculation”.
Brain Recirculation is the process to fill the deficits in human resources in industrialized countries like Canada and Australia.
Demand of higher education from developed countries enhance the effect of brain drain in which most of the individual from the age of 15 to 45 migrate towards developed counties and then the migration of talented individual affect any country and is intensified by social and economic crises, developing countries face the greatest challenge.
Strategies developed against brain drain:-
To implement educational support and nurture these through targeted national programmers and training abroad.
To invest in research and development and creating conditions that foster the growth of public and private sector demand for research result, technological development and innovation.
To build leadership and national scientific community that advocates the development of scientific and technological capacity.

Methodology
In order to check the knowledge of people about BRAIN DRAINING(loss of human capital in home country). A questionnaire was presented to the purposive sample of students. The questionnaire was interviewed by the researchers themselves in different cities of Pakistan. The data were collected within the time span of one month during the working hours (9AM to 5PM) .
The 200 students were contacted in University, from which 150 questionnaires were usable. This questionnaire helps the researcher to get the primary data from the respondent and researchers make sure that respondent are well known about Brain Draining.
3.1 Methods
This research involves the survey type methodology to collect the data through questionnaire to describe the effect of Brain Draining.
Type of research we are conducting?
Basic Research or Fundamental Research because finding of research attempts to expand knowledge and is not directly involved in solution of pragmatic problem. As topic of our research is on 3.2 Sample
The population of the study was consisted of 150 students of different Universities. The name of the Universties where researches visited were The University of Punjab Gujranwala Campus, Gift University Gujranwala , GC University Lahore.For collecting the data the researchers used the cluster sampling technique (Area wise). For this purpose the researcher made two clusters of Gujranwala city and Lahore city consisted of The University of Punjab Gujranwala Campus,Gift University Gujranwala , GC University Lahore
3.3 Procedure

Statements of Hypothesis “If continuous outflow of educated workers than skill shortage in home country”
“We cannot achieve long-term economic growth by exporting our human resource”
“If Desire for a better urban life ,higher qualification and recognition then more brain drain”
“If Unemployment, limited job opportunities, lack of quality education, lack of satisfactory working conditions, low income and salary and lack of Intellectual freedom then more brain drains.”
“Unemployment decreases the commitment level of people towards their country.”
“Lack of Govt. support results in human capital flight to countries where benefits and opportunities are plentiful.”
“As a result of poor administrations, lack of motivation, discrimination, Rampant corruption, Poverty and crime there will be an exclusive increase in the rate of brain drains”

Chapter No 6 Conclusion and Recommendation
We give following recommendation on the basis of our results of research process:
If Pakistan is serious about stemming its alarming brain drain, it must provide:
The country should be made stable regarding political conditions to avoid brain drain.
Discretion should not be supported at the time of appointment but merit should be preferred.
The country should try to enhance its technology so that people are satisfied regarding the prestige of their country.
Better job opportunities that properly remunerate workers based on their skills and talents.
Proper infrastructure is provided for research and development. A system of merit be adopted, otherwise, it will continue to lose its skilled labor to countries where benefits and opportunities are plentiful
The graduates should be provided better future opportunities and better urban life, so that they become loyal towards there country and prefer to serve it.
The salaries and wages should be equivalent to the efforts made.
Employment rate should be increased to turn brain drain into brain grain.
Facilities should be provided for higher education i.e. PHD and Masters Level.
Limitations
The research project on Brain Drain has certain limitations and the results obtained are not as much accurate. The main reasons that lead towards limitations of our project are as follows:
As we had no experience of conducting a research before so being a new experiment certain flaws are there in the research project.
The main problem we have faced was that mostly people are unaware of the term “Brain drain”.
Although mostly people appreciated our topic but only a few people were keenly interested in filling out the questionnaire.
The time period was very short to cover such a conceptual topic. So in this short period of time we have tried our level best to make the research valid and reliable.
The most of the sample was taken from educational institutions i.e. Punjab University Gujranwala Campus and GC University Lhr.because of the shortage of time.
Summary of Report
In this report we conducted the research process under the topic of “BRAIN DRAIN”. We completed the eight steps of research process. We started our study with observation and gathered the data about different causes, effects, brain drain in different countries, remedies etc. with the help of literature survey using internet. After that we identified different variables in the step of theoretical framework, form hypothesis. We completed the scientific research process to give our project a solid base and logical pattern.
Then we perform step of data analysis. For this purpose we used a standard questionnaire that is prepared under the supervision of Prof. Rizwan and analyzed the different variables relevant to our topic. In this analysis we defined the central tendency and correlation among the variables. At the end some valuable findings and recommendations are given by our group.
Introduction
Brain Draining means the out flow of the human capital from home country to the forign country. There is increasing rate of brain draining from the last decards1 Brain Draining has many causes like unemployment, lack of Govt. support, low facilities in home country, desire for better urban life etc lead the people toward migration which is loss for home country if they will not return to their home country.
The expression 'brain-drain migration' was popularized in the 1960s with the loss of skilled labor-power from a number of poor countries, notably India. The migration of skilled workers out of a country
The emigration of a significant proportion of a country's highly skilled, highly educated professional population, usually to other countries offering better economic and social opportunity (for example, physicians leaving a developing country to practice medicine in a developed country).
Permanent migration of skilled group of population from one country to anotherit is long term migration
The migration of educated or talented people from less economically advanced areas to more economically advanced areas, especially to large cities or richer countriesdepletion or loss of intellectual and technical personnel
A brain drain or human capital flight is an emigration of trained and talented individuals ("human capital") to other nations or jurisdictions, due to conflicts, lack of opportunity or health hazards where they are living.
It parallels the term "capital flight" which refers to financial capital that is no longer invested in the country where its owner lived and earned it.
Spokesmen for the Royal Society of London coined the expression “brain drain” to describe the outflow of scientists and technologists to Canada and the United States in the early 1950s when individuals educated in their home country emigrate for higher wages or better opportunitiesit drains more resources from the home country.
The UNESCO defines "brain drain" as an odd form of scientific exchange among states because it is characterized by a movement in one direction that inevitably flows to developed countries while encyclopedia Britannica defines the term as the departure of educated or professional people from one country, economic sector, or field for another usually for better pay or living condition
1.1 Problem Statement “Brain draining”
“The emigration of a significant proportion of a country's highly skilled, highly educated professional population, usually to other countries offering better economic and social opportunity” This study was designed to describe the loss of human capital due to BRAIN DRAIN.
1.2 Objective
In this report we conducted the research process on the topic of “BRAIN DRAIN”. We undertook the preparation of this report with the conviction that from past few decades there is a tremendous increase in the rate of brain drain in countries
We are also painfully aware that Pakistan According to official estimates of Pakistan's Overseas Employment Corporation, close to 36,000 professionals, including doctors, engineers and teachers, has migrated to other countries in the last 30 years. Interestingly, this number is indicative of only a small proportion of actual migration, since the majority of emigrants do not register.
If countries are serious about stemming its alarming brain drain, it must provide better job opportunities that properly remunerate workers based on their skills and talents. Otherwise, it will continue to lose its skilled labor to countries where benefits and opportunities are plentiful and a system based on merit versus contacts is in place.
We completed the eight steps of research process on “BRAIN DRAIN”. We completed the scientific research process to give our project a solid base and logical pattern.
1.3 Data Source
The study was involved about the feedback of BRAIN DRAINING from students . The major chunk of this research lies in the data collection that was involved primary data gathering from the students of different cities . The data was collected through a structured questionnaire distribute among the students. The questionnaire was presented to the students on the spot and given full assistance in understanding the different aspects asked in the questionnaire.

Literature Review Article Title:Reassesing The Impact of Brain Draining on D eveloping Countries
By :Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah
Institute for Public Policy Rsearch
The main cause of brain drain is the migration of skilled worker from developing countries to developed countries. The poverty rate in developing countries rises day by day as average rate of brain drain in some countries become alarming. It sounds not ethic to nib brain drain into the soil but there should be some remedies against the reason behind migration of skill workers as it impacts on the economic condition of the country.
Positive Aspects behind Brain Drain:- But along with that there are some positive aspects behind brain drain
1- Some of those who migrate return with greater skill.
2- To receive education from elsewhere besides home country enable one to learn and gain vast exposure.
3- Some unemployed or underemployed can cause trouble in home country so the migrations become beneficial at this stage.
4- Some times the migration of skill from home country compensated by new skill arrival e.g. South African doctors’ move towards developed country replaced by Cuban doctors.
5- So other impacts if we consider i.e. remittances, inward investment, technology transfer, increased trade flows.
Impacts of reducing the Brain Drain:-
1- 1-As some times brain drain is due to recruiting problem in home country so it is genuine problems which compel one to emigrate and to create hindrance in such situation create bad impacts.
2- Limits on migration from developing countries may be seen as a new form of "compassionate racism" in which the developed world restricts the opportunities of developing-country nationals.
3- Increasing wages, improving working conditions, and providing employment opportunities may be a far better approach than restricting mobility — and it is in supporting these efforts that developed countries might be most effective.
Conclusion
1- The first is to devise methodologies for differentiating between brain drain and brain strain.
2- (Brain Strain is in which the net outflow of highly skilled workers from a particular sector in a country is very likely to obstacle economic development)
3- If the negative impact of brain drain over whelms the positive effects then there should be some methodology which locate information on vacancy rates in key sectors, differentiate among present and previous change e.g. teacher/1000 children, change in economy, and other reasons behind the migration experience of people who leaves home country.
4- Increase literacy in that area’s where emigration is not as important.
5- To gather all these information and data include both qualitative as well as quantitative model which is complex as it would be difficult to collect all information about inflow and outflow of people.
6- Hence to calculate the causes of brain drain in more important as compare to eradicate the brain drain.
According to IMF, the migration rate (from Pakistan to the EDC countries) of individuals with a tertiary education is 7.6 per cent, while for India it is about 2.7 per cent; these figures, however, fail to take into account the sizable flow of professionals from the subcontinent to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates and therefore neglect an important component of the brain drain from the relevant source countries. The estimates show that there is an overall tendency for migration rates to be higher for highly educated individuals.
Another important implication of the brain drain is that investment in education in a developing country may not lead to faster economic growth if a large number of its highly educated people leave the country. Also, efforts to reduce specific skill shortages through improved educational opportunities may be largely futile unless measures are taken to offset existing incentives for highly educated people to emigrate.
According to Zahlan; Zahlan's analysis of recent trends of flows and certain emerging problems are given as follows. Zahlan concludes;
The migration of High Level Manpower (HLM) in the late 1970s and 1980s had been estimated by him to be of the order of 100,000 annually. The bulk of these were Europeans migrating to USA in the 1970s and 1980s. Since then majority of brain drain is both to Europe and USA from the third world.
Article Title:Situation of migration & potential available to reverse the brain drain ---Case from Pakistan.
Publication: Public Personnel Management.
PublicationDate: 22-Mar-05
Methodology: This study is based on relevant literature review, interviews of concered individuals and writer”s own experience . The paper draws cases from Pakistan to illustrate arguments on Brain Drain.
History:
Earliest examples of Brain Drain towards Europe was in time of Second World War.
Findings:
B.D cannot be stopped by nor it can be legislated against the right of individuals to move fro one country to another country.
Some industrialized countries like America and Canada, whose immigration policies tend to be more restrictive.
The case of Pakistan is not different a sizeable number of highly qualified professionals leaving the country.
Major causes of B.D are opportunities in travel, aspiring workers .Pakistan was never able to match the pays and perks offered by industrial countries.
Results:
To minimize B.D there should be optimum chances of advancement created by government. Better Law and order situations. Creation of National talent pool of professionals can also be helpful in Pakistan like in developed countries.
Article Title: How extensive is the Brain Drain.
Writer Name: William J. Carrington and Enrica Detragiache.
Methodolgy:
This study is based on the causes of migration from 61 developing countries accounting for about 70% of the total population of developing countries.
Findings:
By with census data 1990 U.S the writer finds the no of immigrants to U.S from each of these categories
Primary:(0 to 8 years of schooling )
Secondary: (9 to 12 years of schooling)
Teritary: (more 12 years of schooling)
Immigrants of primary schooling level is quite small(about 500,000 individuals out of 7 million)
With secondary education is about 3.7 million
Teritary education is 1.5 million.
Mostly immigrants from Africa are highly educated( about 95000 of the 128000) African immigrants.
Among the source of highly educated people biggest source is Philippines with 730000 immigrants .
Second largest source is China with 40000 immigrants.
For most countries people with teritary education have the highest migration rate, exception of central American countries. B.D to OECD countries: Unlike U.S Census this data source dose not report the years of schooling that migrant have received. Immigrants to United States from such countries are likely to be better educated than immigrants to the other OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development) countries.
Conclusion:
The results derived for U.S.A remain essentially valid. Our research also indicates several ways in which estimate of the B.D could be improved using existing data.Together with U.S --Australia, Canada, France and Germany, these four countries account for abuot 93% of total migratory flows to OECD countries.
According to Andrew Mountford
Department of Economics, Southampton University Southampton S017 1B J, UK
According to the writer ,Brain drain cause the developing country in a poverty trap as the average level of human capital wouldn’t grow because developed country suck its’ highly educated workers which increase the productivity of developed country but if successful emigration is not certainty then brain drain will increase the productivity of a developing country. The writer use the model in which two literatures are discussed
The growth and human capital accumulation literature
The migration and brain drain literature
So the brain drain literature is a branch of the migration literature which highlights the impact of migration when agents are not homogeneous. The large economy attract a small economy’s most able workers and the productivity externality is dependent upon the number of educated people and thus brain drain reduce the productivity in the original country. Writer sorted the immigration in two categories.
1-Effects of emigration for educated agents i.e. brain drain
2-Emigration for non educational agents i.e. a general emigration
And it is clear that the effects of brain drain involve in one’s economy growth and thus growth depends upon human accumulation literature.
Writer model shows that wage per efficiency unit of labor in the world economy is always higher than in the small economy area.
So capital and efficiency unit of labor contribute in the economy of one’s nation when educated worker migrates towards other nation. Hence the contribution margin of development rises.
The conclusion of the article is that the human capital is without external cause and interaction between its accumulation decisions, growth and income distribution leads to the result that a brain drain either temporary or permanent, might increase the long run income level and income equality in a small open economy and in certain circumstances, may even be preferable to a non-selective “general” emigration.

The problem of migration of medical specialist from developing countries to developed countries increasing day by day. There are various factors influencing such situation including both on national and personal level.
At national level include poor remuneration, bad working atmosphere, political instability, lack of funds and poor facilities, no career development , discrimination between researchers involve in brain drain. While at personal level, security problem, and threat of violence (personal enmity) and wish to provide a good education for their children
Solution of the problem:
It include demanding compensation from departing professionals, provide compulsory service, increase salaries, provide educational benefits for their children ,funding agencies should provide more resources to improve condition and training of health care professionals and researchers.
Role of Developed countries:
Developed countries should think of the consequences faced by the poorer countries due to brain drain on health care manpower. They should repay countries for the cost of training the health professional they import. So the impact on both countries should consider and the effectiveness of measures to deal with it.
Role of International Organizations:
As brain drain become a global problem so international organizations should address the preservation of the intellectual property of a nation, including health profession. These organizations international organizations, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, the United Nations Development Programmed, the World Bank, the World Medical Association, and the Council of International Organizations of Medical Societies. A global perspective, agreed ethical principles between countries, and a systematic approach using the convening power of international organizations should be the way to address the problem of brain drain.
According to Plumbing the brain drain
Nancy Gore Saravia1 & Juan Francisco Miranda
Brain drain is caused by “opportunities” either in getting better jobs or demand for higher education and skill provided by developed countries which attract most of the individual all around the world. The knowledge-intensive service industries and research centers include information, communication, finance, business, education and health draw in talented individuals worldwide through selective immigration policies, employment opportunities and targeted recruitment.
To control the movement and distribution of global talent, developing countries should implement strategies that must include world class education opportunities, develop knowledge based research and development industries so that it would lower down the migration rate of highly educated individual who seek its better future in other countries. Brazil, China and India offer these strategies in their own country to stop the brain drain.
Brain drain is not only concerned with developing countries but a serious challenge for developed countries in which Australia, Canada, the Russian Federation and countries in the European Union have all encountered the threat that migration poses to Economic growth. Here writer has introduced the term “Brain Recirculation”.
Brain Recirculation is the process to fill the deficits in human resources in industrialized countries like Canada and Australia.
Demand of higher education from developed countries enhance the effect of brain drain in which most of the individual from the age of 15 to 45 migrate towards developed counties and then the migration of talented individual affect any country and is intensified by social and economic crises, developing countries face the greatest challenge.
Strategies developed against brain drain:-
To implement educational support and nurture these through targeted national programmers and training abroad.
To invest in research and development and creating conditions that foster the growth of public and private sector demand for research result, technological development and innovation.
To build leadership and national scientific community that advocates the development of scientific and technological capacity.

Statements of Hypothesis “If continuous outflow of educated workers than skill shortage in home country”
“We cannot achieve long-term economic growth by exporting our human resource”
“If Desire for a better urban life ,higher qualification and recognition then more brain drain”
“If Unemployment, limited job opportunities, lack of quality education, lack of satisfactory working conditions, low income and salary and lack of Intellectual freedom then more brain drains.”
“Unemployment decreases the commitment level of people towards their country.”
“Lack of Govt. support results in human capital flight to countries where benefits and opportunities are plentiful.”
“As a result of poor administrations, lack of motivation, discrimination, Rampant corruption, Poverty and crime there will be an exclusive increase in the rate of brain drains”

Chapter No 6 Conclusion and Recommendation
We give following recommendation on the basis of our results of research process:
If Pakistan is serious about stemming its alarming brain drain, it must provide:
The country should be made stable regarding political conditions to avoid brain drain.
Discretion should not be supported at the time of appointment but merit should be preferred.
The country should try to enhance its technology so that people are satisfied regarding the prestige of their country.
Better job opportunities that properly remunerate workers based on their skills and talents.
Proper infrastructure is provided for research and development. A system of merit be adopted, otherwise, it will continue to lose its skilled labor to countries where benefits and opportunities are plentiful
The graduates should be provided better future opportunities and better urban life, so that they become loyal towards there country and prefer to serve it.
The salaries and wages should be equivalent to the efforts made.
Employment rate should be increased to turn brain drain into brain grain.
Facilities should be provided for higher education i.e. PHD and Masters Level.
Limitations
The research project on Brain Drain has certain limitations and the results obtained are not as much accurate. The main reasons that lead towards limitations of our project are as follows:
As we had no experience of conducting a research before so being a new experiment certain flaws are there in the research project.
The main problem we have faced was that mostly people are unaware of the term “Brain drain”.
Although mostly people appreciated our topic but only a few people were keenly interested in filling out the questionnaire.
The time period was very short to cover such a conceptual topic. So in this short period of time we have tried our level best to make the research valid and reliable.
The most of the sample was taken from educational institutions i.e. Punjab University Gujranwala Campus and GC University Lhr.because of the shortage of time.
Summary of Report
In this report we conducted the research process under the topic of “BRAIN DRAIN”. We completed the eight steps of research process. We started our study with observation and gathered the data about different causes, effects, brain drain in different countries, remedies etc. with the help of literature survey using internet. After that we identified different variables in the step of theoretical framework, form hypothesis. We completed the scientific research process to give our project a solid base and logical pattern.
Then we perform step of data analysis. For this purpose we used a standard questionnaire that is prepared under the supervision of Prof. Rizwan and analyzed the different variables relevant to our topic. In this analysis we defined the central tendency and correlation among the variables. At the end some valuable findings and recommendations are given by our group.

Migration is the movement of people across a specified boundary for the purpose of establishing a new or semi-permanent residence. External migration is where residences change between a residential unit in the Demographic Surveillance Systems (DSA) with one outside it, and internal migration is where residences change from one residential unit to another in the same DSA (Indepth 2008). Migration is a process of civilians moving from one region to another region by some push and pull factors. Certain push and pull factors like brain drain, racism, better living standards and higher chances of employment cause a particular person to migrate. In recent years, there has been a significant rise of migration within the global community. Although, migration has some disadvantages in the sense of racism and brain drain, its benefits far outweighs the disadvantages that come with it. The trend of migration is a positive phenomenon as it contributes to the ever needy job vacancy in the host country, as well as strengthening the economy in both origin and host country and creates a better society with a variety of culture in the host country.…
