Brain drain – Professionals who decide to leave their own countries

Brain drain, which is the action of having highly skilled and educated people leaving their country
to work abroad, has become one of the developing countries concern.

A
To sum up, it can be said that brain drain has negative impact on the economic prospects of
countries. It reduces the number of dynamic and creative people who can contribute to the
development of their country. Likewise, with more entrepreneurs taking their investments abroad,
developing countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation. This has also negative
consequences on education and employment.

B
The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions. Social
unrest, political conflicts and wars may also be determining causes. The pull factors, however,
include intellectual freedom and substantial funds for research.

C
Brain drain is also referred to as human capital flight. More and more skilful, promising
professionals and technology educated people are heading for more prosperous countries looking
for higher wages and better working conditions. This has of course serious consequences on the
sending countries.

D
While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and
respected, others look at the phenomenon from a different perspective. What makes those educated
people leave their countries should be seriously considered and a distinction between push and pull
factors must be made.

Task A: Number the paragraphs in the correct order

Task B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.
