Abstract
The research study was aimed at investigating the phenomenon of
Brain Drain in Pakistani perspective, identifying different factors
associated with its outflow and suggesting measures for its prevention
and reversal. The research population was Pakistani students pursuing
their higher education abroad comprising of students having secured
employment at home. A questionnaire was emailed to 152 university
teachers of eighteen public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The surprising outcome of the research was that the brain drain of
Pakistan is not substantial rather yielding positive results in the shape
of balancing balance of payment. The research recommends that
Pakistan needs to take calculated initiative in preventing and reversing
its brain drain by applying brain gain and brain circulation strategies
on one hand, and initiating specific development projects at home
capable to absorb returning skills at home, on the other.
