There are many reasons for the loss young human highly skilled labor, from poor economic opportunity to humanitarian violence.

Without outside intervention, Sub Saharan countries will continue this downward trend.

Efforts to stem Africa’s brain drain focusing on repatriation strategies were discouraging. Studies have shown that repatriation will not work so long as African governments fail to address the pull and push factors that influence emigration. Moreover, the relationship between African governments and the African Diaspora remained a major barrier to finding solutions.One potential solution to Africa’s brain drain is virtual participation. Virtual participation is participation in nation-building without physical relocation. It also shows promise as a means to engage the African Diaspora in development efforts.
ReplyDeleteHuman capital is important to a countries economic success. African governments are very corrupt. The byproduct of that corruption takes a toll on its people. Even health issues plague the country promoting a huge brain drain. Sub Saharan Africa needs strong leadership dedicated to the people, not themselves.
