[GLN EC Sunday] Topic 16/06: Brain Drain in Vietnam

Many of Viet Nam’s best and brightest are departing for higher-paid jobs in other countries, sparking concern that a brain drain could impede economic progress. In recent years, the country has seen an increasing number of academics and scientists leave for developed countries. Some people did not return home after being sent by the Government to study abroad and others could not find suitable jobs here. Others left because they were working for foreign-invested enterprises or simply preferred to work abroad. The above information is not all about brain drain phenomenon in Vietnam, let’s come to GLN English Club to discuss more with the topic “Brain drain in Vietnam”
