Brain drain refers to the loss of substantial human capital resources without compensation, resulted from permanent unidirectional flow of skilled labor from less developed countries to developed countries (Salt, 1997).  As migration increases (86% over the last 5 decades), so does brain drain. For instance, estimations show that 20.000 qualified Africans leave the continent each year since 1990. (Ngoma,2013)

Following semantics, the word “brain” entails talent, know-how, competency or attributes. Its combination with “drain” implies the departure of highly educated and skilled expertise at great rates. (Johnson, 1965). According to the World Migration (2003) report, that group implicates individuals “having studied or currently studying for a university degree or possessing equivalent experience in a given academic field.”

Many of the push factors that lead brain drain to happen are closely related to the characteristics of underdevelopment, including poor condition of existing services, low wages or misplacement of talent. As a third world continent, Africa lost over 60.000 professionals between 1985 and 1990. Only in 2000 Sub-Saharan area lost 28% physicians and 11% nurses. In contrast, better economic prospects, higher incomes or more modern educational systems act as pull factors by attracting skilled migrants to their preferred destinations. For instance, currently USA holds almost 80% of college graduates from Haiti, Belize, Grenada and Guyana. (Ngoma,2013).

RE-WRITING PROCESS. The first thing that I did was to look for more detailed information, as Dr. Noah said my article was too superficial and did not contained any specific data. SO I found some figures and stats in my sources and used them to support the statements. Then I restructured my paragraphs and improve my writing with the help of Vanessa's advice. The part of the feedback which that I have issues is the final part. I try to focus on brain drain as a separated part of human capital flight because there is no article for it. Instead of adding more info to Human capital flight's article I prefer building a single one for brain drain, which be complemented with brain drain in the end of the course.

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Brain Drain. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references
