The Size of the Brain Drain

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter first provides a quantitative assessment of the evolution and spatial distribution of the brain drain using updated data on emigration rates to the OECD by educational attainment. In particular, it expands the coverage of the existing database by introducing non-OECD host countries, a study of the age of entry structure of skilled emigration, and also documents the brain drain of PhD holders, scientists, and of healthcare professionals.
