This book was released on 2018 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The migration of health professionals in Africa, medical brain drain, deserves critical attention due to its adverse effects on the healthcare system (HCS) for developing nations, which indirectly impacts population health outcomes and creates greater inequity among vulnerable populations. In the case of Nigeria, the international and internal migration of medical doctors (MDs) has created a great challenge for public health systems; it worsens already weak healthcare systems, which widens the health inequalities gap worldwide. Globally Nigeria ranks among the worst countries in regards to maternal health outcomes. Although it represents 2% of the global population, it disproportionately contributes to nearly 10% of global maternal deaths. Aims and Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the brain drain on Nigeria's HCS from the perspective of Nigerian MDs in the United States (US) versus Nigerian MDs who remained in Nigeria. The social ecologic model was used as a framework to examine push factors out of Nigeria and pull factors into host countries such as the US. Methods: A thematic analysis of qualitative data (key-informant interviews) obtained from a convenience and snowball sample of 17 MDs residing in Nigeria and the US. Results: Nearly all participants, 94% (17 out of 18), confirmed that a shortage of Nigerian medical doctors living and working throughout Nigeria exists acknowledging a medical brain drain impacting Nigeria's HCS. The medical brain drain, which exacerbates the shortage of MDs, indirectly causes adverse effects on all health outcomes especially maternal and child health in rural/low-resource communities. Conclusion: There are many effects of the health care systems that are both directly and indirectly influenced by the shortage of available MDs such as doctor burnout, work related stress and medical negligence; all negatively impact patient experience, patient health outcomes and job satisfaction of MDs. Despite challenges associated with the shortage of available MDs, the Nigerian government in collaboration with health care administrators and MDs both abroad and at the home front can work towards strengthening Nigeria's health sector through various development initiatives to regulate, support and sustain the health care system.

Book excerpt: This study explores the extent of migration of Nigerian experts and skilled workers to European countries. In this light, it considers some push and pull factors that help to explain the phenomenon. It also elucidates the impacts of the exodus of Nigerian experts to Europe on the Nigerian socio-economic and political conditions since the mid 1980s. Qualitative method was employed for the study, while data were collected from primary and secondary sources which include electronic sources, academic journals, and government documents. It was disclosed that there were some push factors for the migration of skilled workers. These include: political instability, economic crisis as well as social problems since the mid 1980s. In the same vein, there are other pull factors which include: provision of good working conditions, much higher wages in comparison to what they get in Nigeria, flexibility in the immigration policy for experts and skilled workers adopted by host countries as well as colonial and linguistic attachment. Against this backdrop, the policies of the Nigerian government towards addressing the phenomenon were surveyed. Recommendations are therefore provided to regulate if not eradicate the brain drain, which are expected to serve as open doors for more research in this area.

Book excerpt: In this book, discussions on African brain circulation and transnational society provide new insights and point to fertile research and policy agendas. Today, a globally important dilemma concerns citizens who either depart from their homeland to enhance their life chances in a rich society - but possibly contribute to a brain drain for their homeland - or stay home and work - but possibly contribute to a brain waste since conditions at home will not allow them to contribute commensurately with their capability. Increasingly, scholars on the subject of global South-to-West emigrants argue that it is not just a possibility of a brain drain occurring when citizens emigrate or brain waste occurring when they stay home, but rather a brain gain when they emigrate strategically and contribute to development in the homeland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South African nurses care for patients in London, hospitals recruit Filipino nurses to Los Angeles, and Chinese nurses practice their profession in Ireland. In every industrialized country of the world, patients today increasingly find that the nurses who care for them come from a vast array of countries. In the first book on international nurse migration, Mireille Kingma investigates one of today's most important health care trends. The personal stories of migrant nurses that fill this book contrast the nightmarish existences of some with the successes of others. Health systems in industrialized countries now depend on nurses from the developing world to address their nursing shortages. This situation raises a host of thorny questions. What causes nurses to decide to migrate? Is this migration voluntary or in some way coerced? When developing countries are faced with nurse vacancy rates of more than 40 percent, is recruitment by industrialized countries fair play in a competitive market or a new form of colonialization? What happens to these workers—and the patients left behind—when they migrate? What safeguards will protect nurses and the patients they find in their new workplaces? Highlighting the complexity of the international rules and regulations now being constructed to facilitate the lucrative trade in human services, Kingma presents a new way to think about the migration of skilled health-sector labor as well as the strategies needed to make migration work for individuals, patients, and the health systems on which they depend.

This book was released on 2010-03-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has a bold national vision of becoming one of the world s top 20 economies by 2020. However, despite being the 8th most populous country in the world, it ranks 41st in terms of GDP and 161st in terms of GDP per capita. Nigeria has long depended on oil for its exports and government revenues. This dependence has led to rent seeking and a reluctance to examine potential avenues for economic diversification. The authors of 'Knowledge, Productivity, and Innovation in Nigeria' believe that the goal of becoming a top-twenty economy can only be achieved if Nigeria makes the transition to a new economy rooted in the 21st century that harnesses the power of knowledge and avoids a static oil-based growth strategy. Knowledge has always been central to development, but new technologies have made it globally accessible. Countries such as the Republic of South Korea, India, and the United States that have exploited new technologies and know-how have pushed their innovation and productivity frontiers. Countries that have failed to do so risk remaining mired in poverty. In order to achieve Vision 2020, Nigeria must move beyond the stop-start patterns of oil-based development that have characterized it since independence. It must create a stable and prosperous economy based on a critical mass of knowledge workers. Knowledge, Productivity, and Innovation in Nigeria examines how Nigeria can prepare for this century and where its leaders can focus to achieve their vision, presenting the experiences of other countries from which Nigeria can learn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain drain from developing countries has been lamented for many years, but knowledge of the empirical magnitude of the phenomenon is scant owing to the lack of systematic data sources. This paper presents estimates of emigration rates from 61 developing countries to OECD countries for three educational categories constructed using 1990 U.S. Census data, Barro and Lee’s data set on educational attainment, and OECD migration data. Although still tentative in many respects, these estimates reveal a substantial brain drain from the Caribbean, Central America, and some African and Asian countries.
