An increasing number of professionals, such as doctors and teachers, are leaving their poorer countries to work in developed countries. What problem does this cause? What can be done to deal with this situation?

More and more specialists are emigrating from their home

nations

which are economically less developed to the wealthier and more advanced

nations

seeking out greener pastures.

This

essay will

first

analyze the problems that can result from

this

, particularly in the poorer

nations

, as adversely affecting their progress, and

then

discuss what the government can do to solve

this

problem by improving working conditions of

professionals

, and motivating them through improved remunerations and other welfare packages. Addressing the main issues that can arise from

this

brain drain, it is the under-developed communities, which are losing their experts, that are badly affected.

This

is because these specialists contribute immensely to these

nations

' economies and they are irreplaceable.

Therefore

, when these huge numbers of vital

professionals

exit the system, a large gulf is created, which may take years to mend.

For example

, in Nigeria, a current challenge being experienced particularly in its health sector, is the large migration of its doctors and nurses overseas, in a bid to seek greener pastures.

This

is having a serious negative impact on the health sector of the entire nation, especially in

this

time of COVID-19 pandemic, as the staff level keeps diminishing, leading to the remaining staff being extremely overworked. To solve these problems, the government has a major role to play. Two key areas that can be addressed are: improving the working condition of these specialists, and staff motivation through salary increments and other welfare packages.

First

, when

professionals

have up-to-date and ultra-modern facilities to work with, they can favourably compete with their counterparts in the developed clime and

therefore

, see no reason to emigrate.

Additionally

, their remuneration should

also

be made commensurate with what their colleague in the international communities are earning,

this

will

further

motivate them to stay over in their home countries and help to develop it. Other welfare packages

such

as sending them for overseas training to improve their skill will

also

encourage them more. In conclusion, the problem of brain drain particularly affects the developing

nations

more negatively, resulting in a large pressure of workload on the fewer remaining experts and ultimately making them underperform. The government can help to ameliorate

this

problem by improving working conditions and remuneration of these

professionals

.
