Beyond the brain drain: Redefining the professions

Martin Godfrey

Intereconomics – Review of European Economic Policy (1966 - 1988), 1977, vol. 12, issue 7/8, 182-186

Abstract: The traditional policy measures employed by Third World governments to reduce the “brain drain”, the migration of critical groups of professionals to industrialised countries, have proved to be largely ineffective. The following article suggests a redefinition of job content and of professional training in the interests of greater relevance to national needs and resources. This, the author argues, would incidentally remove the possibility of brain drain which was always a mere symptom of the real problem.
