Brain Drain: Economic and Social Sufferings for Bangladesh

Abstract

This paper presents the alarming issue of brain drain with the causes that are responsible for the migration of academics, doctors and engineers from Bangladesh to developed countries. Bangladesh being one of the least developed countries needs its talents to stay to contribute to the development. But majority of these highly skilled immigrants do not come back after completing their study or training and start living in the foreign countries. Lack of opportunity, higher standard and insecurity are some reasons behind their immigrations. After exploring the causes, the paper also examines the suffering of Bangladesh in want of native talent. Some real life cases have been obtained through interview which are analyzed and presented through charts. The suffering goes bigger in the health sector, education and science and technology. The loss of Bangladesh and ways to reduce this is the key concern of this research.
