Today, a globally important dilemma concerns citizens who either depart from their homeland to enhance their life chances in a rich society - but possibly contribute to a brain drain for their homeland - or stay home and work - but possibly contribute to a brain waste since conditions at home will not allow them to contribute commensurately with their capability. Increasingly, scholars on the subject of global South-to-West emigrants argue that it is not just a possibility of a brain drain occurring when citizens emigrate or brain waste occurring when they stay home, but rather a brain gain when they emigrate strategically and contribute to development in the homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612561031319,"sku":"9789004158856","price":15981.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004158856.webp?v=1775078898","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/african-brain-circulation-beyond-the-drain-gain-debate-9789004158856","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
