SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF BRAIN DRAIN AND REENTRY AMONG INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: A SURVEY OF THE TOPIC
Abstract
Empirical findings from research on the brain drain are presented and discussed from the viewpoint of scientists and engineers who have returned to Taiwan after study abroad. Data from a joint project sponsored by the National Science Foundation in the United States and the National Science Council in Taiwan, R.O.C., surveyed returned students. Three basic questions are raised by these data. First, is there a brain drain? Second, why do graduates return home after study abroad? Third, what problems do graduates encounter back home after their return. Implications of these data are discussed. RÉSUMÉ Les résultats empiriques de recherches sur l'exode de cerveaux sont présentés et analysés du point de vue des chercheurs et des ingénieurs qui sont rentrés à Taïwan après des études à l'étranger. L'auteur présente les données d'un projet conjoint parrainé par la National Science Foundation des États-Unis et le National Science Council de Taïwan sur ces étudiants. Ces données soulèvent trois questions fondamentales. Premièrement, peut-on vraiment parler d'exode des cerveaux? Deuxièmement, pourquoi les diplômés se heurtent-ils à leur retour dans leur pays? L'auteur analyse les implications de ces données.Downloads
