Competing for the highly skilled: Europe in perspective

Science and Public Policy, 1999, vol. 26, issue 1, 17-25

Abstract: The increased demand internationally for highly skilled personnel and the expansion of international education opportunities will inevitably exercise pressure on the European stock of highly skilled labour. This paper gives an overview of the flows of skills internationally and argues that the qualitative aspects of European emigrants are far more significant than their quantitative aspects. Europe might be losing its brightest and best; in particular, Europe might be losing the young scientific and technological and managerial personnel, probably those with the most up-to-date training.
