“…A study revealed that the key problem of brain drain is the economic policy that the existing government hold practically. Likewise, other studies confirmed that the economic policy surely strengthens the country's economy and may avoid the problem of brain drain within the country (Torbat, 2012;Ben-David, 2009;Dohlman et al, 2019;Ryndzak, O., & Bachynska, M., 2022) recently graduating individuals involved in thinking about brain drain activity and emigration after completion of their education to search for jobs in host countries (Yin & Yeakey, 2019;Vincent, E. A., 2022). In developing countries, a common problem has been noticed that the students, after their tertiary education, move to developed countries due to political instability and better job opportunities which are matching their skills and formal education, for instance, Doctor and Engineers, etc.…”

Brain drains are a major reason for worry for migrant-sending countries. The current study will examine the impact of economic instability, political instability and foreign job opportunities on the brain drain in a developing country like Pakistan. The primary data was collected for this study through the adopted questionnaire with the help of Google Forms. The non-probability sampling strategies, i.e., convenience and snowball sampling used due to the large population of major cities in Pakistan. A total of 250 recent business graduates were requested to complete the questionnaire, and for the data analysis, Smart PLS version 3 was used. The findings of the study revealed that all three independent variables, including economic instability, political instability and foreign job opportunities, have a positive and significant impact on the brain drain of the business graduates of Pakistan. This study revealed that three key variables are important and the major cause of brain drain. The country’s top management should take practical steps to address that issue in future policies and encourage the youth of Pakistan to serve the country immediately after completion of education. Our study contributes to save human capital for the betterment of nation specially in developing countries.

“…Finally, and as a precautionary note, scholars need to be aware that beyond the change of direction in the national effects, they need to extend their analysis to other countries when countries consider themselves destination countries. For example, scholars must focus their analysis beyond countries with a high level of development, which constitutes a new challenge in this line of research toward the study of the effects of the brain drain in the peripheral areas of knowledge production, contributing to a better understanding of the phenomenon in those geographic areas and design new public policies, in the economic dimension of sustainability [17], to strengthen innovation and local industry [32,47,140,[155][156][157]. Likewise, public policies should be approached from a logic of adaptation to the global mobility of advanced intellectual human capital (brain circulation) and not only from a drain perspective [12,158] and with a greater emphasis on the intellectual human capital attraction policies and not principally focused on brains retention or forced return [45], avoiding the research groups break [159] and promoting geographically distributed research [160][161][162][163].…”

“…Such an approach is becoming an increasingly crucial governmental concern to sustain vibrant economies and societies [31]. Furthermore, in some countries, the government decides to face a brain drain, given tertiary students' emigration [32]. Emigration of tertiary students has come to undermine national capacities to provide essential services in poor states, even implying a justified restriction to limit the flight of the minority of cases that this type of migration implies [33].…”

Scholars had been documenting the Brain Drain phenomenon producing scientific literature for more than 50 years. After three decades of slow but steady progress, literature about this concept has accelerated its progress and growth path, in line with the 9th sustainable development goal “Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation” Thus, the present article aims to define the current theoretical trends about the analysis of advanced intellectual human capital’s international migratory phenomenon. This study uses a scientometric methodology on a corpus of 1212 articles indexed to the JCR-WoS from Social Sciences. The period covered in the study is from 1965 to 2020. The paper looks to understand how researchers studied the brain drain concept over the last 55 years in various disciplines. The report covers 99 categories from the Journal Citation Report (JCR) index. Results show that there is a scientific research critical mass that is studying the brain drain phenomenon. The analysis shows thematic trends at the sources, discourses, and consolidates classic works and some novel authors. Those new scholars and theoretical trends lead to refocused analysis beyond countries with a high development level. Such movement constitutes a new challenge in this line of research toward studying the effects of the brain drain in the peripheral areas of knowledge production.

“…В 7 статьях рассматривается важность внешней открытости страны для привлечения специалистов [Aboites, Díaz, 2018]. Глобальный характер мобильности человеческого капитала предопределяет необходимость упрощения передвижения мигрантов [Yin, Yeakey, 2019], расширения экономического, научно-технологического взаимодействия [Niu, 2014], а также взаимного обмена знаниями между странами [Blachford, Zhang, 2014]. Необходим системный подход, так как при наличии ограничений международных связей в научной сфере и связанных с этим сложностей с карьерным ростом будет повышаться желание ученых эмигрировать [Chepurenko, 2015].…”

This literature review is devoted to the analysis of the existing empirical studies in areas related to Macro Talent Management and its research directions. The study presents a systematic literature review of 150 empirical papers in peer-reviewed journals for the period from 2011 to 2021. Macro Talent Management is a complex phenomenon that combines different interrelated processes at country and organization levels. Socio-economic and cultural macro factors have a significant impact on human capital mobility, which can be represented as talent attraction and retention processes and, therefore, as a component of Macro Talent Management. At the same time, human capital mobility itself influences the indicators of countries and regions’ development at macro level. At country level, talent development requires joint actions of state institutions and organizations, while Macro Talent Management system can affect the countries’ economic indicators. However, it can be concluded that the literature lacks a sufficiently detailed consideration of the implementation of Macro Talent Management system; the impact of characteristics of political regimes and cultural characteristics on formation of Macro Talent Management in different countries is not fully described, as well as the influence of Macro Talent Management on innovative development at macro level is studied generally. This review allows researchers to clarify issues related to the subject of Macro Talent Management and the existing gaps in the literature. As a result of the analysis, we identified several areas for further research. First, it is important to study the mechanisms of inter-level interaction in talent management both in terms of human capital mobility and talent development within a country. It is also necessary to study in detail the influence of political and cultural characteristics in countries as conditions for the implementation of these activities by agents. Finally, the impact of talent management on innovation development at macro level has been studied rather generally, without considering the impact of specific processes on innovation activity of particular countries.
