Skilled Migration and Brain Drain FreedomGraph

 This episode of FreedomGraph focuses on Skilled Migration and Brain Drain. We discussed these issues in our panel discussion during Forum 2000 conference in Prague, devoted to "Democracy and Education" as part of Freedom Week 2015.

The following key issues are addressed in this FreedomGraph: 
- Did you know that 3% of world’s population live abroad? 
- Learn about where do migrants in the OECD countries come mainly from? 
- Find out what the trend is with the emigration rates of the highly educated people?
- Which are the top sending countries of highly educated migrants? 
- What is “brain waste”? 
- Questions to think about: 1. Does the brain drain have a negative effect on the modernization process in the countries of origin? 2. Does the quality of education and the universities influence the migration of students and graduates? 3. Are restrictions on the freedom of movement in the EU required in order to reduce the migration of highly skilled persons? 

“FreedomGraph” is a series of infographics produced by the Regional Office of FNF East and Southeast Europe. “FreedomGraph” aims to summarize, analyse and visualize in compelling ways the principles, ideas and issues that are important for the Foundation and for liberal thought. “FreedomGraph” gives you the freedom to inform yourself and reach your own conclusions. We hope it inspires debate and further research.
