An increasing number of professionals, such as doctors and teachers, are leaving their own poorer countries to work in developed countries. What problems do this cause? What solutions can you suggest to deal with this situation?

decades, there

has been an increase in the number of professionals leaving their

country

in search of greener pastures abroad.

This

causes a severe talent crunch in their own

country

. One of the biggest problems that countries face when talented professionals migrate is the shortage of skilled manpower. India,

for example

, produces tens of thousands of doctors each year and many of them migrate to foreign countries.

Consequently

, the

country

does not have enough doctors to treat its people and patients often have to wait for hours in hospitals to get their medical c

done. Obviously, when professionals

such

as doctors and teachers leave their

country

to find employment in the developed world, they are doing a disservice to their nation and its people.

However

, there is another dimension to

this

problem. Many professionals choose to migrate because they are not satisfied with the opportunities available in their

country

. Ambition certainly is not a crime and as

such

the

government

cannot stop

this

practice altogether. Providing more opportunities in their own

country

is the only way to dissuade professionals from leaving.

Also

the

government

can perhaps make it mandatory for its citizens to return after working abroad for a fixed number of years. Migration of professionals is both a boon and a curse. Most nations that export professionals are beneficiaries of foreign remittance. While money cannot solve the talent crisis that they face, it can certainly help them to produce more professionals in the future.  India,

for example

, is a big beneficiary of foreign remittance and Indian

government

takes immense pride in being able to export professionals to the rest of the world. The

country

no longer maintains a hostile attitude to its people choosing to migrate. R

Rather, they

are seen as a source of revenue with which the

government

can improve the ground realities at home. To conclude, when professionals migrate to foreign countries they create an immense shortage of talent in their own

country

. The only way the

government

can discourage

this

practice is to create more opportunities in their own

country

using the money they remit.
