Description
Summary:International migration of educated labor is an ever increasing phenomenon, which at best bene? ts the immigrant himself, the sending country and the receiving country alike. After an overview of such bene? ts, this article will focus on the limitations of international labor migration -induced bene? ts for the country of origin. Three aspects that might lessen the actual bene? ts of global migration of the educated for the sending country will be elaborated: the hazards of emigration from, of the lack of migrant return to and of money remittances to the developing sending country. When is emigration acutely hazardous for a small developing country, how often does migrant return occur, and what is the actual effect of money remittances? Finally, could such limitations to sending country bene? ts of international migration be eliminated or minimized through international cooperation?
