20. The increasing number of OFWs has become overwhelming
despite uncertain circumstances and risk which poses some
consequences to the country. What do you think are the effects
of the brain drain phenomenon?
21. Brain drain is the process in which a country loses its most educated and talented workers to
other countries through migration. This trend is considered a problem, because the most
highly skilled and competent individuals leave the country, and contribute their expertise to
the economy of other countries. The country they leave can suffer economic hardships
because those who remain don't have the 'know-how' to make a difference.
WHAT IS BRAIN DRAIN phenomenon?
22. The push factors are negative characteristics of the home country that form the impetus for
intelligent people migrating from Lesser Developed Countries (LDC).
Pull factors are the positive characteristics of the developed country from which the migrant
would like to benefit. Higher paying jobs and a better quality of life are
Causes of Brain Drain
23. THE EFFECT OF BRAIN DRAIN
-Loss of tax revenue
-Loss of potential future entrepreneurs
-A shortage of important, skilled workers
-The exodus may lead to loss of confidence in the economy, which will cause
persons to desire to leave rather than stay
-Loss of innovative ideas
-Loss of the country's investment in education
-The loss of critical health and education services
24. The drawbacks of brain drain outweigh the benefits, so there are some moves that
governments can make to reduce the number of highly educated and skilled workers that
relocate to other countries. One way that governments can keep its skilled workers is to
ensure that citizens feel safe and to take steps to stimulate economic activity.
Possible Actions to Curb Brain Drain
