Abstract

The term brain was coined to describe the processes of relocation of trained and talented human resource from the less developed countries where they are needed to a more developed country where they are valued. The South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) are to an extent victims of their success in developing high quality educational institutions. This success has led to the development of a large group of highly talented individuals that if used appropriately can make a significant difference in their own particular spheres. The overall improvement in the educational opportunities has not been matched by an equal number of employment opportunities for these trained personnel. The jobs that are available typically pay significantly less than similar jobs available outside of the region.
