The main purpose of this research was to analyze the impact the Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI), remittances, and foreign aid have had to human capital growth (HCG) and brain drain. The study data were collected from five African countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and Morocco) from 2009 to 2018. Secondary sources were used in data collection, then autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modeling was used in the analysis. Before modelling was done, co-integration tests and panel unit were applied. The results revealed that Chinese FDI, remittances, and foreign aid had a significant and positive impact on HCG in the long but not the short-run. Besides, remittances, Chinese FDI, and foreign aid demonstrated significant negative impacts on brain drain in the long term, not in the short term. This study makes important practical and theoretical contributions about the roles of Chinese FDI, remittances, and foreign aid in the reduction of brain drain and the growth of human capital.

The “Brain Drain”: Factors influencing physician migration to Canada

Context: Higher income countries have an average physician density of 300 physicians per 100,000 people. In stark contrast, lower income countries have an average physician density of 17 physicians per 100,000 people. A major cause of this discrepancy is the migration of healthcare professionals from lower income to higher income countries, a phenomenon colloquially known as the “brain drain”. Objective: To explore factors that led International Medical Graduate (IMG) physicians to leave their home countries and migrate to Canada. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire with a mix of open- and close-ended questions was sent to 500 randomly selected IMG physicians practicing in Ontario, Canada. Results were analyzed using a mixed-method design utilizing both descriptive statistics and a thematic analysis approach. Results: 39 physicians met inclusion criteria and completed the survey. The majority were 50 years or older, and over 60% were male. The most common reason for emigration from their home country was the socioeconomic and/or political situation, and the most common reason for selecting Canada was family issues. Suggestions for how brain drain could be stemmed fell into three broad categories: 1) more accurate information about lack of opportunities in Canada, 2) more continuing medical education opportunities in home countries, and 3) address issues such as safety and quality of life in home countries. Conclusions: This survey provides insights into the reasons for emigration and immigration for international medical graduates. The results of this survey can assist stakeholders in working toward appropriate and acceptable solutions to the brain drain.

Brain Drain Is Real Problem

英语真会造词,一个brain drain就颇可玩味一番。它不是什么新词。《英汉大词典》早已收入,并提供一个释义:(因科学家、学者等向国外移居而造成的)人才流失,人才外流,智囊枯竭。brain drain原本是一个存在于第二、第三世界的现象。不料,近来在英国也冒出了这个问题: Britain must raise salaries and improve the career structure of scientists toplug(阻止)a brain drain. 本文的难句是: In a letter to the science journal Nature,Pierson and Cotgreave said thenumber of citations per article for the 252 scientists they had tracked weresignificantly higher for those who are living in the United Sates than for those whoremained in Britain. 读者朋友,当你遇到难句,经过思考分析,终于征服了它,你有怎样的感觉?下面我们提供上句的译文。你不妨先自译,而后再读我们的参考译文不迟。 参考译文: Pierson和Cotgreave在给《自然》这本科学杂志的一封信中说,对他们跟踪调查的252名科学家每篇文章被引用次数来看,那些已经移居美国的要比仍留居英国的要多得多。

东北地区公共卫生机构人才流失对组织凝聚力的影响--基于有调节的中介模型检验

目的:深入探讨人才流失对组织凝聚力的影响机制,以期破解东北地区人才流失导致的问题,消除影响公共卫生机构核心凝聚力的不利因素。方法:采用方便抽样与滚雪球抽样相结合的方式,调查有效问卷11912份,并运用描述性统计、回归分析以及有调节的中介效应分析等方法对数据进行系统分析。结果:人才流失对组织凝聚力具有显著的负向影响(β=-1.29,P<0.001);而角色超载在两者之间起部分中介作用,中介效应显著(效应值=-0.56,95%CI=-0.67~-0.46),中介效应占总效应的43.4%;月收入能够显著调节角色超载对组织凝聚力的影响(β=1.00,P<0.001)。结论:建议通过调整薪资待遇水平来缓解公共卫生人员角色超载感,采取长效激励机制等策略来降低人才流失的负面影响,进而增强组织凝聚力,为相关机构提供理论和实践指导。

面向全球南方的人才竞争加剧

半个多世纪以前,学生国际流动开始受到大学的关注,包括师生和科研人员在内的人才流失被认为对人才来源国造成直接损失。21世纪以来,人才流失成为全球人才流动的常见模式,人才流入和人才环流两个概念的出现意味着人才流动可能具有积极意义。虽然海外分校、特许经营项目、“三明治课程”一定程度上帮助全球南方国家获得发展,全球北方国家的主流政策仍致力于提高国际学生的居留率,以增加其熟练劳动力数量,进而促进经济发展和应对人口老龄化。对六个北方国家的大学教师教育经历与职业流动情况的研究也发现,近年来六国拥有南方国家教育经历的大学教师比率不断增加,且跨国攻读博士学位是学术人才流失的主要通道,再次证明南方国家学术人才流失的加剧。

海外华侨华人科技人才的环流研究

世界已进入科技发展引领全球经济的新时期,科技的进步和变革带来的是对创新要求的不断提升。当前,在全球人才战略严峻的局面下,全球人才流动模式已不再是以往的单向从人才输出国到人才输入国(人才流失),而是开始了双向的流动(人才环流)。人才环流下的“共享效应”也将有利于人才输出国的经济社会发展。在新时代,我国进入了新的发展阶段,更为迫切地需要人才资源的支持。欧美发达国家和地区外来移民政策的调整,对国际人才流动带来了新的影响。我国在人才引进、培养方面,一方面,应从“人才共享”模式下强调“人”的回归转变为强调“才”的回归,特别是海外华侨华人中的科技人才,另一方面,应秉持更加开放的人才理念,完善人才移民体制,让海外华侨华人中的科技人才能够进入国内和融入国内,助推国内的创新发展。
