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 Eurpoe.Brain drain can be stopped by providing individuals
with career opportunities to prove their capabilities.
Brain drains are among developing nations ,such as theformer 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,Kenyia 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
