    Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals like doctors, scientists, and technicians from developing countries to developed countries for better opportunities. It occurs due to factors like political instability, lack of opportunities, and poor living conditions in the home country. While brain drain negatively impacts the development of emigrating countries, it provides benefits to countries that receive these skilled immigrants through what is described as "brain gain". Regions like Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and formerly Eastern Europe have been most severely affected by loss of human capital and brain drain.

    What Is Brain Drain?

    Brain drain is also known as The human capital flight. It can be simply defined as the mass emigration
    of technically skilled people from one country to another country. Brain-drain can have many reasons, for
    example-political instability of a nation, lack of opportunities, health risks, personal conflicts etc. Braindrain can also be named as human capital flight because it resembles the case of capital flight, in
    which mass migrationof financial capital is involved.

    The term brain-drain was introduced by observing the


    emigration of the various technologists, doctors and scientists, from various developing countries
    (including Europe) to more developed nations like USA. Now this phenomenon of brain drain has a
    conversed effect for a country in which people are getting migrated and brain-drain of a nation becomes
    brain-gain for that particular country. Usually all developing countries including India are suffering
    from brain drain and developed countries like USA are having brain gain from this phenomenon.

    Europe

    A few years before, Europe was one of extreme sufferers of the brain-drain. In Europe brain drain was
    occurring in two stages. First was the migration of workers from the southeastern Europe and Eastern
    Europe to the Western Europe. And other stage of brain-drain was the migration from Western Europe to
    the USA. But this cycle of migration is getting slower these days. To stop the brain-drain Europe
    community also launched a provision called Blue-card. Its same as green-card facility of USA. In fact
    EU was getting much more liable for the immigrants of Asia in last decade in order to compensate the
    brain-drain. But at the same time EU is worried about the effects of foreign population on culture and
    environment of Europe, so these days EU is implying some strict rules to regulate flow of immigrants.
    Africa
    This continent has suffered maximum because of brain-drain. According to a survey Ethiopia lost its 75 %
    of skilled workers in the years 1980-1991. This mass migration of skilled workers is showing extremely
    detrimental effects on the development of nation. In the similar manner Kenya and Nigeria are also great
    sufferers

    of

    brain-drain.

    Middle

    East

    Countries of Middle East like Iraq, Iran etc are also great sufferers of the phenomena of brain-drain. Lack
    of some basic facilities and services are the reasons for the mass migration from these areas.
    Dictatorship, terrorism, orthodox attitude are basic hurdles of development of this region.
    Asia
    like china, Pakistan, Russia and India are also facing problems of brain-drain. Unemployment, population
    explosion and corrupt political systems are main reasons for migration of skilled workers from Asia. In
    countries like India, Pakistan,Bangladesh etc graduates, post graduates, experienced and skilled
    professionals are not getting enough opportunities to develop and succeed. So with dreams of
    development these professionals leave their native country in search of better future. This brain-drain is a

    On the other hand brain-gain is just an opposite situation to brain-drain. Countries in which skilled
    workers are migrating are said to brain-gaining countries. Examples include- USA, Canada and UK. These
    countries are having brain-gain because these nations are rich and have enough work opportunities.
