Brain Drain - Should / Could The Government Stop It?

Tweet

It's pretty alarming to hear that our nation's problem with regards to the depletion of our skilled workers pool has gone to critical levels. From what I've heard, we're even losing Meralco Linemen to foreign companies. I don't know what to think. Being optimistic, at least now I'm in the position of having a job here in the Philippines because of the shortage of skilled workers. But of course, losing our skilled workers can also spell demise to our country since no one else who are capable will remain to make this country prosper. We're losing doctors that are badly needed in the provinces because they're turning into nurses and are being shipped out of the country. The next thing I know is that all I'm left with when I'm sick is a poor copycat of "Mang Kepweng" putting leaves on my head. We're not just losing doctors - we're losing pilots, aviation engineers and, yes, meralco linemen. imagine if a blackout suddenly struck in your neighborhood. who d'ya gonna call. certainly not the ghostbusters. The Business Sector, from what i've heard, wants the government to stop the brain drain phenomena? and i say - what's wrong with you people? for all i know, workers respond to the stimuli of a higher salary in order to work for someone's company. They won't give better pay, so the workers won't stay. I think business people should know that - it's a basic rule! asking the government to curtail the mass migration of workers is like asking the government to deny me a decent life. what can you say about this?
