Brain drain is happening from developing countries to developed countries. Brain drain is defined as the migration of developing country’s people to developed countries.
The majority of migration from developing countries (Asian Countries) like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, etc. to developed Countries like Australia, Canada, Germany, UK and USA.
In Developing countries, Population is higher it means demand is higher but opportunity is lesser it means supply is lesser because of most common problem unemployment is increasing in developing countries. Even skilled person is not getting job now a days which push people to drain towards developed countries. The foremost concern is education as population is higher by which reason inflation is the most serious concern, student don’t get admission in good Institution even in 90% score. Due to the higher inflation and financial reason either they switch off or enrolled in poor Institution which neither build the future of student and country’s growth. These countries have serious problem pollution and dumbed garbage in open area, sanitation that increase diseases. Hunger is another problem. Hence, need strong schemes and programmes for the development of developing countries.
Young well-educated, healthy individuals are most likely to migrate, especially in pursuit of higher education and economic improvement. Continuing disparities in working conditions between richer and poorer countries offer a greater ‘pull’ towards the more developed countries. The role of governments and recruitment agencies in systematically encouraging the migration of health professionals increases the pull and some compulsion such as family wants and not getting opportunity in their country is the push factor. For the seeking such opportunity, Infrastructure, high salaries money, better standard of living and quality of life, access to advanced technology across international borders which attract talent from less developed areas that leads migration to keep going on to the developed countries.
Brain drain is the most serious growing concern for the developing countries whom people are being shifting to other comfort providing countries. Those trained people developing reciptent countries growth, GDP, etc. who have not forked out the cost of educating them. Hence professionals are need in every part of the world.
Basically, health personnel (nurses, physician) professional seek employment to developed countries which is the top most needed profession for every country. Either in normal and unwanted situation.
International migration first emerged as a major concern in the 1940s when many European professionals migrated to the UK and USA. In the 1970s, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a detailed study report of 40-country. According to this report, close to 90% were physician. In 2000 almost 175 million people, or 2.9% of the world’s population, were living outside their country from birth for more than a year. Of these, about 65 million were economically active. In 1972, about 6% of the world’s physicians (140 000) were located outside their countries of origin. Healthcare expenditure in India is 3% of GDP compared to 13% of GDP in the USA and the ratio of doctor to patients in India is 1:2083 compared to the USA where the ratio is 1:500.
