Book Synopsis The Role of Brain Drain on Africa's Development by : Oluwatosin Emmanuel Folowosele
Download or read book The Role of Brain Drain on Africa's Development written by Oluwatosin Emmanuel Folowosele and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This economic literature research emerged as evidence on the impact of Brain Drain (Skilled Workers) as a critical role in developing countries. In this paper, we tested emigration panel data estimations for a sample of all Sub-Saharan African countries. Our empirical strategy plan employs the Fixed Effect and Random Effect regression analysis techniques on a unique model. We utilized a dataset of 43 Sub-Saharan African countries between 2004-2015. We show that economic down in most African countries is likely to cause increases in Brain Drain turnover in the region. Additionally, our panel data tested the wide range of diminishing returns and the prediction model of emigration rates in this region. The estimated cross-region findings in this region of the combined effects increase on Brain Drain have caused a frequency of prone economies. However, the main cause for the present poverty in the region is due to poor African political specifications.

Book Synopsis Emigration, Brain Drain and Development by : Arno Tanner
Download or read book Emigration, Brain Drain and Development written by Arno Tanner and published by Migration Policy Institute and the Bertelsmann Foundation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to the health care system in Malawi when a large portion of Malawian physicians immigrate to Britain? Does the migration of highly skilled professionals from developing and underdeveloped countries to developed countries harm or hurt their country of origin?In Emigration, Brain Drain, and Development: The Case of Sub-Saharan Africa, Arno Tanner questions the emerging literature that stresses the positive aspects of labor migration. He finds that while emigration certainly cannot be stopped, and may be beneficial in some cases, unhindered high-skilled emigration —particularly in the case of sub-Saharan Africa —can have disastrous consequences. In examining the cases of Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, Tanner finds striking trends. For instance, the outflow of physicians from Malawi may severely hurt AIDS prevention. Furthermore, sub-Saharan Africans tend not to return; remittances are erratic, have dwindled over time, and do not offset the costs of emigration. Tanner recommends specific policies where carefully targeted development measures could be used to mitigate the negative consequences of brain drain.
Download or read book African Brain Circulation written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis The Success of Apprenticeships by : Jean-Luc Cerdin
Download or read book The Success of Apprenticeships written by Jean-Luc Cerdin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apprenticeships can offer apprentices, their teacher-tutors and business apprenticeship supervisors experiences that are rich in knowledge. The Success of Apprenticeships presents the observations and opinions of 48 actors regarding apprenticeships. These testimonies recount how apprenticeships allowed them to improve their expertise, their professional practices and their organization skills. This book also examines how their interactions in the work/study process allowed them not only to develop the skills of apprentices, but also the skills of those who accompanied them – the teacher-tutors and the business apprenticeships supervisors. The creation of an authentic community of apprentices subscribes to the formation of an ecosystem of learning, in which each individual harvests fruits in terms of the development of their personal abilities.
Book Synopsis Challenges to Globalization by : Robert E. Baldwin
Download or read book Challenges to Globalization written by Robert E. Baldwin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.
Book Synopsis How Big is the Brain Drain? by : Ms.Enrica Detragiache
Download or read book How Big is the Brain Drain? written by Ms.Enrica Detragiache and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 28 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis a gendered assessment of the brain drain by : Frédéric Docquier
Download or read book a gendered assessment of the brain drain written by Frédéric Docquier and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper updates and extends the Docquier-Marfouk data set on inter-national migration by educational attainment. The authors use new sources, homogenize definitions of what a migrant is, and compute gender-disaggregated indicators of the brain drain. Emigration stocks and rates are provided by level of schooling and gender for 195 source countries in 1990 and 2000. The data set can be used to capture the recent trend in women's skilled migration and to analyze its causes and consequences for developing countries. The findings show that women represent an increasing share of the OECD immigration stock and exhibit relatively higher rates of brain drain than men. The gender gap in skilled migration is strongly correlated with the gender gap in educational attainment at origin. Equating women's and men's access to education would probably reduce gender differences in the brain drain.
Book Synopsis The Development Devil: Brain Drain, Brain Stain and Brain Curtain by : Mohamed Ali M. Alamin
Download or read book The Development Devil: Brain Drain, Brain Stain and Brain Curtain written by Mohamed Ali M. Alamin and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are nations in Africa still developing countries despite more than half a century of independence? The African continent is among the richest in natural resources, but the poorest in development and infrastructure. Health and human development indicators are extremely poor in Africa, and the author's home country of Sudan is no exception. This book exposes the determinants behind this state of the continent's underdevelopment. The reasons behind Africa's underdevelopment are still up for debate. The term development devil is introduced in this book as a concise description of key development hampering factors. The development devil is composed of a triad of collective societal brain damaging factors; brain drain (skilled people migration), brain stain (the corruption) and brain curtain (neocolonialism). The first half of this book addresses this development devil triad. The second half focuses on the health workforce brain drain in Sudan, with deeper. The focus is on Khartoum State, discussing the magnitude of the health manager turnover and brain drain. This book is a valuable resource for global health & development advocates, health managers, and public health professionals.

Book Synopsis Our Continent, Our Future by : P. Thandika Mkandawire
Download or read book Our Continent, Our Future written by P. Thandika Mkandawire and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Continent, Our Future presents the emerging African perspective on this complex issue. The authors use as background their own extensive experience and a collection of 30 individual studies, 25 of which were from African economists, to summarize this African perspective and articulate a path for the future. They underscore the need to be sensitive to each country's unique history and current condition. They argue for a broader policy agenda and for a much more active role for the state within what is largely a market economy. Finally, they stress that Africa must, and can, compete in an increasingly globalized world and, perhaps most importantly, that Africans must assume the leading role in defining the continent's development agenda.
Book Synopsis International Migration, Remittances and Brain Drain by : Serge Feld
Download or read book International Migration, Remittances and Brain Drain written by Serge Feld and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an analysis of theoretical and empirical researches on the effects of remittances and brain drain on the development of less developed countries (LDCs). It analyzes the most recent global, regional and national data as well as the arguments for and against the emigration of highly skilled personnel and remittances, thereby highlighting policies aimed at optimizing the link between migration and development. The book examines in depth the arguments against "brain drain", namely the loss of skilled labor, wasted public investment in higher education, and reduced tax revenues. It also presents the arguments in favor, emphasizing on the transfer of scientific knowledge, the incentive effect of increased education spending, and participation in international networks. It addresses the central issue of emigration of medical personnel from developing countries and its consequences on the population.The book focuses on the effects of remittances on poverty and inequalities. They improve health conditions, raise education levels and empower women. Positive effects include the stabilizing function of remittances and the improvement of external accounts. Other effects are subject to conflicting assessments such as the reduction of labor supply and the "Dutch disease". The focus is on institutions who integrate economic, social and political incentives in order to establish remittances at the heart of development policies.The book provides a reference for students and research centers devoted to development economics, centers for international migration studies, and research units focusing on population, migration, and development.

Book Synopsis Social and Technological Innovation in Africa by : Solomon Nwaka
Download or read book Social and Technological Innovation in Africa written by Solomon Nwaka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the landscape of sustained investment in research and innovation in Africa, which are critical for development. This cutting-edge analysis is based on empirical evidence and the author’s experience in managing health and related innovations on the continent and globally. It concludes, for the first time, that African innovation is largely driven by the principles of Social, rather than Technological innovation. The significance of this finding and the need to optimize, scale and sustain this dominant innovation is addressed in various chapters that analyze the status, challenges and opportunities. Particularly, the financing, collaboration and coordination patterns for these activities on the continent show a fragmented ecosystem that is largely dependent on external donors and aid. The importance of supportive policies, leadership and venture mechanisms that incentivizes public and private entities to innovate is further exemplified by the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book proposes mechanism to address identified challenges.
