Brain Drain

This is a question that economists have been trying to answer for a decade now and have conducted different studies resulting to different conclusions about this issue. There are some economists that believe that yes Canada is suffering from a brain drain if not now it will be soon, amongst those economists are Don DeVortez and Samuel Laryea who prepared a study of C.D howe Institute. They claimed that Brain Drain is real and is costing Canada Tax Payers millions of dollars. Then on the other side of the debate we have economists like John Helliwell, who

Brain drain involves the migration of skilled workers, professionals, and technicians to the United States, which then causes a drain of the crucial workers in their home countries.

The first approach in which Meyer’s argument against sweatshop labor challenges Brock’s argument on limiting brain drain is by highlighting the manipulation between options towards the targeted group, sweatshop workers and highly skilled personnel, respectively.
