Question

What do you think brain gain is important for development? express your views

Answer 1

Brain gain is an increase in the number of highly trained, foreign-proffesionals entering a country to live and work where greater opportunities are offered.

Instead of denying developing countries of their best talent through 'brain drain', exchange students can offer 'brain gain' by forming a global pool of highly-skilled human capital. Like researchers and scientists, they form knowledge networks and increase collaboration on global policy issues.
