Brain drain Brain drain is the departure of educated or talented persons for better pay or jobs elsewhere Economically speaking, brain drain means an emigration of trained and talented individuals ("human capital") to other nations because of conflicts and lack of opportunity. It parallels the term "capital flight" which refers to financial capital that is no longer invested in the country where its owner lived and earned it. When a highly qualified professional chooses to leave his own country for another, he does so for one or several legitimate political or economic reasons. The loss of such bog number countries, but also to the scientific of skilled immigrants results in huge losses that are very difficult to compensate for even in long years to come. The brain drain is actually affecting the economies and social structures of a country, especially the emerging countries that. Have to do everything they can to stop this phenomenon. Finally, I do believe that it is the responsibility of both governments and individuals to try harder to stop the flow of highly skilled people from their own countries resulting in a brain drain that affects each and every society.
