  • Should You Be Worried About Brain Drain?
    SUMMARY Should You Be Worried about Brain Drain? Brain circulation and linkages can enhance the social and economic development of developing countries, regardless of whether or not students decide to return home. Photo credit: ADB. Studies show that migrant high-skilled professionals can help increase trade, capital flows, and knowledge and technology transfers whether or not they return to their home countries. Published: 15 October 2019 Overview The migration of highly educated or high-skilled professionals under the conventional human capital approach is considered a zero-sum game since host countries receive an inflow of human capital from home countries, enhancing the competitiveness of host countries (“brain gain”) at the home countries’ expense (“brain drain”). However, an emerging approach indicates that brain drain in a global market economy actually creates an opportunity for brain circulation and brain linkage. First, the migration of high-skilled professionals from developing countries fosters opportunities to form transnational social capital that connects members of different countries and contributes to knowledge transfers from advanced countries (“knowledge remittances”). Second, it helps establish ties to the center of development and promotes integration into the global value chains with benefits such as increased trades, capital flows, and technology transfers. With such benefits, social and economic ties among high-skilled professionals can create a win-win, positive-sum situation for both home and host countries. This article was adapted from the working paper, From Brain Drain to Brain Circulation and Linkage, with permission from Stanford University’s Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. The study was supported by the Asian Development Bank’s South Asia Human and Social Development Division.

  • Brain Drain” from Developing Nations
    th rd th 8 ​ Campion School Model United Nations | 3 –​ 4 ​ October 2020 ​ ​ ​ Forum: Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) ​ Issue: Eliminating “brain drain” from developing nations. ​ Student Officer: Maria Karatoliou ​ Position: Deputy President ​ Personal Introduction Dear Delegates, My name is Maria Karatoliou, I am a student in the 12th grade of the Anavryta Model Lyceum and it is my honor to serve as one of the Deputy Presidents of the Economic and Social Council on Eliminating “brain drain” from developing nations in the 8th session of CSMUN. I attended my first ​ conference a little less than three years ago, and up to this day I have attended 10 conferences in total. The institution of Model UN has played an important role in my everyday life. What I find most intriguing about MUN conferences is that one gets to take action on global issues in one’s own hands, one has the opportunity to interact with completely different people from all over the world, and learn from them as they learn from said person. MUN helps people step out of their comfort zone therefore evolve themselves as they broaden their horizons and strengthen their sense of unity and solidarity. Therefore, I look forward to serving as Deputy President. I would like to remind you, that this study guide has been made to provide a comprehensive summary of most, yet not all, essential information on this topic, therefore you should make your own research in order to be fully informed about it. If you have any questions regarding this study guide, our topic, your delegation’s policy or the rules of procedure in general, do not hesitate to contact me via my email: [email protected] ​ CSMUN | Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) th rd th 8 ​ Campion School Model United Nations | 3 –​ 4 ​ October 2020 ​ ​ ​ With that being said, I would like to welcome you to the 8th CSMUN ​ conference and assure you that it will be an unforgettable experience that you will look back to and cherish.

  • Human Capital Flight; Effect on Income, Brain Drain in Sending Countries and Economic Growth in Host Countries: Evidence from MINT Countries
    EconWorld2015@Torino 18-20 August, 2015; IRES, Torino, Italy Human Capital Flight; Effect On Income, Brain Drain In Sending Countries And Economic Growth In Host Countries: Evidence From MINT Countries Nick Blessing O’GUNLEY, Kocaeli University, TR [email protected] Abstract Human Capital Flight and its endless resulting effect have been a crucial issue worthy of discussion in both the traditional and contemporary global economic sphere. After the stock market crash of 1929 which marked the emergence of the Great depression, and the end of the Second World War in 1945, the emigration of skilled workforce from poor countries increased rapidly. The loss of intellectual capital, called the Brain drain, has been one of the greatest obstacles to the development of some countries of the world. In 2000 almost 175 million people (2.9%) of the world’s population, were living outside their country of birth for more than a year. Of these, about 65 million were economically active. The purpose of this research is to understand the cause of Human Capital Flight in MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey), the socio-economic impact on income and economic growth to the sending country as well as the host country, and ways to reverse the effects of brain drain, thereby creating a brain-gain. Brain drain is a product of both internal and external factors working simultaneously to push educated and highly-skilled individuals out of their country and pull them into developed nations respectively. Although, human capital flight in a way stimulates education, generates significant remittances, and brings about unequaled contributions from both the returnees and the diaspora abroad.

  • Brain Drain to Brain Gain: Reverse Migration to Asia
    BRAIN DRAIN TO BRAIN GAIN: REVERSE MIGRATION TO ASIA WHAT IS THE INSIGHT? Improved political, economic, social, and educational circumstances in Asia are generating new opportunities for migrant talent, students, and labour. Figure 1 As a result, potential migrants from Asia are beginning to question the value of migrating outside of the region to countries like Canada. These new opportunities are also exerting a pull on members of Canada’s Asian diaspora from countries such as China, India, and South Korea, especially those who are frustrated by the difficulty of breaking the “glass ceiling,” those who feel their qualifications are under-appreciated or underutilized (so-called “brain waste”), and those who lack a sense of social belonging in Canada. The appeal is even extending to Canadians who do not have family connections to Asia (see Figure 1), but whose skill sets are well matched to take advantage of professional opportunities there. Together, these trends could spark a phenomenon of reverse migration, which includes not only a reversal of the current flow of migration from Asia, but also a reversal of the current direction of migration (outflow of Canadians to Asia) in the upcoming decades. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT? Over the past few decades, a steady stream of migrant talent and labour from Asia has given receiving countries, including Canada, a competitive edge in the knowledge-based global economy. Many of these migrants not only come with sought-after skills and training, thus contributing to the constant flow of “brain gain”, but they also help sustain a relatively young, fertile, and taxpaying population in a highly mobile and aging world.

  • Committed to Unity
    Committed to Unity: South Africa’s Adherence to Its 1994 Political Settlement Paul Graham IPS Paper 6 Abstract This paper reviews the commitment of the remaining power contenders and other political actors to the settlement which was reached between 1993 and 1996. Based on interviews with three key actors now in opposing political parties represented in the National Assembly, the paper makes the case for a continued commitment to, and consensus on, the ideals and principles of the 1996 Constitution. It provides evidence of schisms in the dominant power contender (the African National Congress) which have not led to a return in political violence post-settlement. The paper makes the point that, while some of this was the result of President Nelson Mandela’s presence, more must be ascribed to the constitutional arrangements and commitments of the primary political actors and the citizens of South Africa. © Berghof Foundation Operations GmbH – CINEP/PPP 2014. All rights reserved. About the Publication This paper is one of four case study reports on South Africa produced in the course of the collaborative research project ‘Avoiding Conflict Relapse through Inclusive Political Settlements and State-building after Intra-State War’, running from February 2013 to February 2015. This project aims to examine the conditions for inclusive political settlements following protracted armed conflicts, with a specific focus on former armed power contenders turned state actors. It also aims to inform national and international practitioners and policy-makers on effective practices for enhancing participation, representation, and responsiveness in post-war state-building and governance. It is carried out in cooperation with the partner institutions CINEP/PPP (Colombia, Project Coordinators), Berghof Foundation (Germany, Project Research Coordinators), FLACSO (El Salvador), In Transformation Initiative (South Africa), Sudd Institute (South Sudan), Aceh Policy Institute (Aceh/Indonesia), and Friends for Peace (Nepal).

Immigration and Reverse Brain Drain in South East Asia, Department of Economics, Union College, June 2012. ADVISOR: Professor Suthathip Yaisawarng In recent years, governments around the world have shown increasing concerns about brain drain, the shift in human intelligence of many of their best educated citizens from developing countries to developed countries, as it causes negative effects on social and economic sectors of the source country. Nonetheless, Kuhn and McAusland (2006) argue that talent might often be wasted at home; migration to more supportive environments raises global innovation. Saxenian (2003) finds that gains may flow back to the developing country via returnees with enhanced skills, personal connections, and ideas for innovation.
