Are richest countries stealing high-skilled workforce from poorest?
The last few decades have been characterized by an increasing migration of high-skilled workers from less developed countries to the healthier ones. According to many, this migration can be interpreted as a robbery of the <s>formers</s> former <s>towards</s> by the <s>latters</s> latter. Other observers, instead, state the contrary, reducing this phenomenon to a normal event of migration. I share the first vision, however the matter is not as simple as could appear and there are many elements that need to be evaluated.
Certainly, it should be considered that current asset of the world is originated by some precise historical events. In almost all cases, countries which today live in? a complex economic and social situation sometimes have been signed by a dramatic story of colonialism. The effects of <s>this </s> these events are perpetuating today as well and, under this point of view, too little has been made from states responsible <s>of</s> for it. In this sense, new migrations are an indirect way to prosecute a kind of dominion. Being that some people are unable to gain high salaries and to live free, the only possible solution is moving to richer places.
Nevertheless, there is more. It should not be forgotten that mankind <s>migrate</s> has migrated since the dawn of time. People decide to move to another country for a great number of reasons and this is obviously true for <s>poorest</s> poorer countries as well. Human behaviour is often guided by feelings and, in particular in the contemporary global village, the desire to <s>of</s> travel<s>ling</s> and to know<s>ing</s> new cultures is increasing and spreading.
To conclude, hence, probably claiming that richest countries are stealing workforce from poorest could be considered as a reasonable statement. However, this migration should not be interpreted only under this point of view. There are also additional reasons, important all the same, which influence such choices.
