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. 410 0$aInternational studies in sociology and social anthropology ;$vv. 105. 606 $aBrain drain$zAfrica 606 $aProfessional employees 606 $aLabor supply$zAfrica 606 $aOccupational mobility 615 0$aBrain drain 615 0$aProfessional employees. 615 0$aLabor supply 615 0$aOccupational mobility. 676 $a331.12/791096 701 $aPatterson$b Rubin$01607018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806979003321 996 $aAfrican brain circulation$93933094 997 $aUNINA
