Brain
drain is also called as human capital flight but commonly referred to as brain
drain. Brain drain is the phenomena whereby nations lose skilled labor because
there are better paid jobs somewhere else. It is also defined as the loss of
skilled intellectual and technical labor through the movement of such labor to
a more favorable geographic, economic and professional environment.
The reasons of brain drain usually
includes two aspects which respectively come from countries and from the
individual.
In terms of countries, the reason
may be the social environment. This reason includes lack of opportunities,
political instability, economic depression and health risks.
On the other hand, for the
individual reasons, there are family influences and personal preference. The
personal preference includes exploring and an ambition for an improved career.
I think that brain drain can both be
advantageous and disadvantageous depending on the situation your country’s in.
