Brain drain or human capital flight is a large emigration of individuals with technical skills
or knowledge, normally due to conflict, lack of opportunity, political instability, or health risks.
Brain drain is usually regarded as an economic cost, since emigrants usually take with them the
fraction of value of their training sponsored by the government. It is a parallel of capital flight
which refers to the same movement of financial capital. The term was coined by the Royal Society
to describe the emigration of scientists and technologists to North America from post –war Europe.
Brain drain can be stopped by providing individuals
with career opportunities to prove their capabilities.
Brain drains are among developing nations, such as the former colonies of Africa, the island
nations of the Caribbean, and particularly in centralized economies such as former East Germany
and the Soviet Union, where remarkable skills were not financially rewarded.
Brain drain cost the African continent over 4 billion dollars in the employment of 150.000
expatriate professionals. Ethiopia lost 75 per cent of its skilled workforce between 1980 and 1991,
which harms the ability of such nations to get out of poverty. Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia are
believed to be the most affected. In the case of Ethiopia, the country produces many excellent
doctors, but there are more Ethiopian doctors in Chicago than there are in Ethiopia.
Pakistan also suffers from brain drain. Since Pakistan began market economic reforms in the
Late 70s, many Pakistani began migrating to Western Europe, North America and Oceania. It is
estimated that 30per cent of the 100.000 Pakistani students who study abroad annually return to
Pakistan .The fact is there are more job opportunities, higher standard of living and education
opportunities for Pakistani living abroad. The Pakistani government is trying to lure back its foreign
educated professionals by tweaking its salaries, housing and job incentives.
