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

Medical professionals and educators are crucial for the functioning of society. In recent times many of these workers are moving out of their less-developed nations and immigrating to

first

world

countries

for work. In

this

essay, I will explain the main reasons causing the problem as well as suggests solutions to overcome

this

issue.

To begin

with,

doctors

and teachers are moving to developed

countries

is because of higher pay in those nations. These skilled workers feel that they are not properly compensated in their own

countries

as compared to abroad.

For instance

, a doctor in the United States makes ten times more than a doctor in Ghana.

Thus

,

doctors

from

countries

like Ghana finds it beneficial to shift to the

countries

with higher pay.

Additionally

, abroad they find more opportunities for

further

training in their fields.

This

special training helps them excel in their career and fulfil their ambitions.

However

,

this

drain of skill from poor

countries

to rich

countries

can be stopped by improving salaries.

This

will incentivise teachers and

doctors

to stay in their own

countries

and pursue their careers.

For example

, the high pay attracts many professionals to work in the IT sector

this

should be replicated in the healthcare and education sector.

Moreover

, there should be an increase in the number of training positions for postgraduation courses so that workers do not have to move abroad to do them. In conclusion, the exodus of

doctors

and teachers from under-developed nations is on the rise as they get better pay and training opportunities in developed

countries

.

This

can be reversed by improving pay conditions and increasing postgraduate seats.
