A ‘brain drain’ which is experienced in poor countries has become a pressing issue due to infrastructure which is not established properly and salaries given by governments below far from standard. This essay will elaborate the causes of this problem and propose viable solutions to mitigate its impact.
One of the primary causes of a ‘brain drain’ by poor countries, seeing many difficulties in looking for professionals such as doctors and teachers. Firstly, the government did not build infrastructure properly for them. What is meant by infrastructure is hospitals and schools. Secondly, The government does not pay fairly, so they choose to work in more developed countries. To emphasise this causes, the phenomenon “kabur aja dulu” as an example by Indonesia which failed to establish infrastructure and give salaries for them.
A viable solution to this problem is to enhance the quality of human resources by poorer countries, with quality education as well, the people aware about their nations. For example, China has become successful in building their nation after decades of revolution. Through education, China developed rapidly as an advanced country, with a proven quality of research and education compared to other countries. Quality world ranking of universities said the universities in China are almost in the top tier.
In conclusion, a ‘brain drain’ is largely caused by infrastructure which was not established and salaries which were not given properly. However, through strategic investment in quality education, this issue can be effectively addressed. It is imperative for poor countries to take proactive steps to ensure sustainable development.
