~BRAIN DRAIN~

 HUMAN CAPITAL FLIGHT!!!

Brain drain means the educated talented professionals leaving the country in search of greener pastures. This is also known as 'human capital flight'. Some educated people leave their motherland and serve another country. This is a common issue in most of the developing countries. Some of the professionals who leave the country are doctors , accountants , engineers and teachers. Some of them learn in a foreign country and do not return. 
   Brain drain is a serious problem for a developing country. The effect of it is not felt directly unlike the price hikes of essential commodities. The repercussions of brain drain are felt in the long run. 

Brain creates a huge loss of high quality manpower. But it is an advantage for the developing countries. Developing countries have to import high quality manpower at the expense of billions of dollars to fill the vacuum. The impact created by the lack of manpower on the economy is unbearable. This is an obstacle for implementing development projects.  

 The investment on education is wasted due to brain drain. The fruits of education are reaped by another country. A country spends a large sum of money to produce a trained professional. The whole nation pumps money in the form of taxes to educate children. 

Then why does brain drain happen? It could happen due to various reasons. Most of the talented professionals leave the country in search of better facilities. They do not have a comfortable life style in their motherland. Sometimes their salaries are low. Some of them think of the future of their children. Some people also leave the country due to political reasons and war. 

 Then what can a country do to prevent brain drain? The country must provide better facilities with higher salaries for the professionals. The government must create a comfortable and attractive life style for them. The government must always look into their grievances. Beside all these patriotic feelings must be cultivated in people. Then people will never leave their motherland in search of a better world.
