The National Manpower Commission (NMC) has sounded a warning that . there is already evidence that the management corps has shrunk too Jow to cope properly with the mobilisation of resources and productivity. The traditional"pattern of immigration - relied on to fill between 25 percent and 40 percent of increases in high and middle level manpower -has collapsed. The NMC said a recent count revealed the shortage of people with universi­ ty degrees or diplomas threatened to swell to 238 000 by the year 2 000. A shortage of managers and entrepreneurs was likely to increase in the flow of black, coloured and Indian workers into the high level manpower pool - up from 25 percent in 1965 to 32 percent. The Commission says warning signals are flashing from most, if not all, economic sectors now forced to weigh the longer term repercussions of trends in migration patterns. Analysts of the brain drain are even more concerned about the profile of migrants than about the overall count of the influx and exodus.
