| | The Canadian taxpayer should also be concerned about the brain drain problem as it is he or she that subsidizes these graduates’ education, only to see them leave upon graduation for a more attractive opportunity in the US. | | | It can certainly be acknowledged that each side of the brain drain argument has their own agenda and, consequently, releases study results that support their respective sides. | | | Brain drain adversely affects both parts of the GDP equation. |

| | How do we reverse the brain drain? - Philip Emeagwali |
| | However, I strongly have the believe that to actualize this dream of reversing the brain drain our leaders will not only take the forerunner stand, but would also be ready to sacrifice much of their wealth in the areas of security, good network of roads, constant power supply, and other infrastructural development. | | | Your Brain Gain theory is exceptional and I wish most, if not all African leaders actually read it thoroughly and applied to their economic policies. | | | In this light, we as a brave group of youths in africa has taken it upon ourselves to reverse this situation,we are quite aware that it is not an easy task but we are prepared to lay the foundation for other generation that will come and finish the job. |

| | Much of the discussion about brain drain, if not most of it, has been driven by a signal lack of any significant empirical data that would account for what appears to be the hysterical approach that has been brought to bear upon this very delicate subject. | | | However, the issue is surely not one of lack of control, but rather of framing the answer in a manner that is responsible and beneficial to all. | | | So the first issue that we need to clarify is the extent and scope of the problem. |

| | Martin seems to be distancing himself from an increasingly discredited Statistics Canada analysis that says there's really no brain drain, just a "brain exchange," since Canada still attracts enough skilled immigrants from poorer countries to offset the emigrants pouring across the U.S. border. | | | In this atmosphere of partisan disinformation, it's high time somebody placed the whole issue of the brain drain and the comparative quality of life in Canada and the U.S. in careful perspective. | | | How sad to see the leader of one of the world's major democracies descend to the kind of defensive fear-mongering usually associated with minor dictators whose regimes are under pressure. |

| | One of the major limitations African nations face in addressing their health workforce problems is the lack of reliable data on how many health workers have graduated from their schools, how many are working in the country and in what locations, and how many have emigrated. | | | While the UK has a centralized health system well positioned to address these issues, both within its health care system and with representatives of other nations, the USA, in contrast, has a fractured health system that is less able to engage these issues. | | | The finding that the bulk of migration occurs from only a few countries and medical schools suggests policy interventions in only a few locations could be effective in stemming the brain drain. |

| | In many parts of the world, the “brain drain” is giving way to a process of “brain circulation” as talented immigrants who have studied and worked abroad increasingly return to their home countries to pursue promising opportunities there. | | | This paper suggests that policymakers learn from the experience of Taiwan, where brain circulation was critical to its shift from a peripheral source of cheap labor to a global leader in IT production. | | | The new structure of competition in IT provides unprecedented opportunities to leapfrog economically—and the brain drain can be turned from a curse into an advantage in this process. |
