Labour Markets, Migration, Marginalisation and Exclusion, Brain Drain: Difference between revisions

‘Selective migration’ only concerns certain segments of ‘knowledge capital’, and is influenced by means of purposive policies in the migrants’ countries of origin, but even more by the selection procedures and motivation incentives in countries who receive the migrants. Freedom of movement of labour and the right to change your country is considered one of the ‘fundamental human rights.’ It must be admitted, nonetheless, that the defence of such rights by the developed parts of the world is also ‘interest-conditioned’: it is the wealthy countries that profit the most from such migration. Sharper terms are used in this respect, such as parasitising on investment in public education in developing countries (including those in transition).
