Here's a particularly colorful expression describing an unfortunate impact of global mobility that every country hopes to avoid.
BRAIN DRAIN 頭脳流出
- A brain drain is the loss of highly trained and skilled people from an area as they leave for areas where the opportunities and pay are better.
- brain drain とは、高度な訓練を受け、高い技術を持つ人材が、ある場所から、条件や賃金がより良いところへ移動してしまうこと、つまり、頭脳流出のことです。

We need to work harder to create a more favorable business climate for foreign corporations in order to stop the brain drain. - The economic impacts of the country's brain drain are being felt especially hard in the IT sector.
- University professors there can earn a salary that's only about one half the OECD average. It's no wonder their universities are suffering a brain drain.
Thanks for coming!
