Brain drain: a standpoint

By: Fatima Azahra, D.

Brain Drain can be described as the emigration of talented, skilful and genius
workers to more developed countries with a view of the evolving countries where
they don’t feel like belonging to. Of course there are serious reasons for leaving one’s
home country, but there are solutions as well to put an end to this phenomenon.

On the one hand, the majority of such emigrants blame the government for
neglecting their needs as qualified people and for not caring about providing them
with appropriate decent jobs, notwithstanding the fact that they are far better than
others who are mostly without qualifications.

On the other hand, there are others who prefer to emigrate because they are not
well-paid. Their salaries never comply with their urgent needs. Consequently, they
decide to emigrate to look for better life conditions for themselves and for their
children.

Taking these two causes into consideration, converting brain drain into brain
gain becomes a priority, and the issue is simple. There is one possible solution, and it
is that the government should give its human capital the prestige and esteem it
deserves by employing them and improving their work conditions so that the country
can profit from their huge capacities for the progress and prosperity of the nation.

On the whole, we must sensitize everyone about the hazardous phenomenon of


Brain Drain. When the talented and genius people feel obliged to quit their homeland
for something their country of origin could provide them, it is nonsense.
