Medical brain drain revisited.

There is increasing pressure for the training of greater numbers of doctors. This pressure stems from the growing demand for higher education for the children of an expanding middle class, and from the desire to create more "satisfactory" doctor/population ratios. But, in fact, the middle classes produce doctors primarily to serve their own class. Since the training of doctors is geared to the values and requirements of those with money incomes sufficient to purchase private medical care, it is very expensive. These costs are such that the level of effective economic demand of most of the population cannot possibly meet the expectations and requirements of the medical graduates, who then "overflow" into those parts of the world where demand is greater than the current supply of doctors.

Brain drain or links to the world: views on emigrants from Singapore.

"This article will present a general picture of emigration and emigrants from Singapore, with specific references to Australia where the data permit. The first section presents some flow data on the magnitudes of emigration from Singapore.... It is necessary to place this outflow against the background of the constraints imposed by the country's small size. This is discussed in the second section, together with the economic policies and strategies adopted to overcome these constraints. The third section documents the public debate on emigration and the responses to the 'problem.' This is followed in the last section by a prognosis for the future, particularly with regard to the implications for Australia. The article ends with a discussion of the relationship between emigration and nation building, using Singapore as a case study."
