  • 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.

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.

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.

  • Developing a Road Map for Engaging Diasporas in Development
    Developing a Road Map for Engaging Diasporas in Development A HANDBOOK FOR POLICYMAKERS AND PRACTITIONERS IN HOME AND HOST COUNTRIES Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias and Kathleen Newland Chapter 8: From “Return of Talent” to “Brain Circulation” to “Virtual Return”: Evolving Ideas on the Transfer of Human Capital In today’s world, a country’s competitiveness in the global economy, its productivity, and economic growth depend on a workforce whose skills and knowledge are constantly upgraded. But many countries do not have educational systems capable of meeting this challenge and many others see their most highly skilled workers emigrate to modern innovation hubs where practitioners, engineers, scientists, and inventors come together and work both collaboratively and competitively. Indeed, many countries 159 are isolated not only from global flows of trade and capital but from the knowledge and technology that make these possible. Recently, however, concepts such as “brain gain,” “brain bank,” “brain trust,” and “brain circulation”263 have gained currency, signaling a growing interest in finding ways to use the skills and experience of the diaspora to fill knowledge and skills gaps in their countries of origin. Backed by forward-thinking policies, these concepts are helping to attract skilled emigrants and their descendants to endeavors in their countries of origin — where they deploy their professional skills as teachers, mentors, research directors, or simply practitioners who perform services in return visits. Transferring Human Capital: A Menu of Viable Options 1. Engage diasporas as practitioners to fill resource and knowledge gaps • Ask diasporas to volunteer their time and expertise • Offer material and nonmaterial incentives in exchange for services • Administer “return” programs in partnership with private actors 2.
