Brain Drain: Can We Stem the Flow?

BBC World Service - The Forum, Brain Drain: Can We Stem the Flow?

How can we stem the brain drain from countries who need their talented people?

How can we stem the brain drain of talent from countries who desperately need to retain their brightest and most dynamic people?

The Forum is in Cape Town, South Africa, as guests of The British Council at the Going Global Conference. As globalisation enables the transit and relocation of people ever more quickly and easily, what impact is there on countries who desperately need to keep their skilled labour and what are the issues that need addressing? With Quentin Cooper to discuss the Brain Drain is professor Olusola Oyewole from Nigeria, Dr Jo Beall, from the British Council, professor Tao Xie from Beijing and  Carolyn Medel-Anonuevo, from Unesco.
