In today's world of competition wherein everyone aspires to be ahead of others, people out there aren't minding in finding the best of opportunities for themselves abroad. It has become a latest trend to pursue opportunities in abroad. Here comes the concept of Brain drain. Brain drain also known as Human Capital Flight is a concept that emerged in 1960s that refers to people who migrate from their domestic country to another country in search for better opportunities and lifestyle for themselves. In this, highly educated and trained individuals move out to another country, use their skills for the development of that country for better earnings. It has become a major concern for developing countries as they are not able to retain their talented citizens since they aren't able to provide their people with better opportunities. But, this is an advantage for developed countries since they are getting talented, trained and highly educated people to work for them. This is a hot topic that needs to be discussed.
