News - Massive Brain Drain From Some of the World’s Poorest Countries

News - Massive Brain Drain From Some of the World’s Poorest Countries. Based on the figures Portugal can be placed under the poor countries and faces the same problems. A massive braindrain. One of the conclusions of the study is in my opinion wishfull thinking, namely that succes abroad from Portuguese or.. can lead to more better education in the origin country. In poor countries it is still common that son/daughter goes to work a early age to earn money, also still in countries like Portugal! BTW Portugal has lost 117.000 brains to other countries in 2000.
