subject: Brain Drain In Health Sector: Un Report [print this page] ACCORDING TO the study released by the United Nations, talents migrating from countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbeans have an interesting effect on the home economy. While migration of Indian and Taiwanese hi-tech personnel to other developed countries may proof beneficial to their homelands; similar effect cannot be said about the health care sector.
The study was based on the subject titled Mobilising Talent for Global Developments. According to the study, the Indians and Taiwanese who are a part of the high-tech industry in the United States set up their own hardware and software companies in their home countries as well; thus expanding their business. This results to the economic growth of that country.
But in the medical/ health-care sector the old worry about brain drain is not generally fully warranted, the report said. The study, produced by the universitys World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), cautions that emigration hurts source countries.
It is because the doctors, nurses and medical specialists continue to leave African, Asian and Caribbean countries, the health services become depressed and inadequate, especially in Africa, which is already suffering the heavy toll of AIDS.
In this study by the United Nations University (UNU) it shows that migrants could contribute in the growth and the development of their homelands, depending on how skillful and motivated they are in uplifting the standards of their country.
According to the study director, Andres Solimano investments is partly done in the first world and partly in the third world. This accounts to a fixed circulation of investment in both the countries.
Finally, the study concludes by recommending countries to set up more liberal and open regimes, which would create a positive climate for business and the well-educated, leading to an improvement in the economy and society at large.
