Abstract:

The migration of highly educated Asians to developed countries and the implications of those movements are examined. "The far-reaching effects of the movement of Asian high level manpower (HLM) are discussed in light of: 1) the global articulation of higher education; 2) the link to unequal development on a global scale; and 3) the contribution to economic development of the reverse flow of HLM to less developed countries." The focus is on migration to Australia, Canada, and the United States from the 1960s to the present. (EXCERPT)
