6 - Population: Globalization & the Brain Drain

Pages 86-89.

The globalization of the economy has an impact on the mobility of populations. It has led not only to an increased exchange of merchandise but also to greater mobility on the part of both skilled and unskilled labor.

As a result, this globalization of markets is causing fierce competition between countries attempting to attract the most educated and skilled workers. A growing number of the intellectual elite in fields such as medicine, engineering, and computer science are emigrating each year. This is referred to as the brain drain.
