An increasing number of professionals, such as doctors and teachers,
are leaving their own poorer countries to work in developed
countries. 
What problems does this cause? What solutions can you suggest to
deal with this situation?
Brainstorming

For this question you need to brainstorm the kinds of problems that
developing countries will face if they start to lose important workers, such as
doctors and teachers.
Remember you need to make sure you relate your ideas specifically to the
question and not make them too general. Simply saying that there will not be
workers is not enough as a developed country would face these same

problems. For instance, in the UK there has been a loss of doctors, who have
moved to other countries for better work conditions.
So you need to make sure you specifically relate your response to the issue
of developing nations. 
When you brainstorm solutions, you should again not make them
too general. Try to think of some specific ideas with detail.

An increasing number of professionals, such as doctors and teachers,
are leaving their own poorer countries to work in developed countries. 
What problems does this cause? What solutions can you suggest to deal
with this situation?
The primary goal of many people is to provide for their families. But for
poorer nations, what that often means is that many experienced professionals
end up seeking greener pastures in the more developed nations, causing
problems to their mother country.
The main problem of this exodus of workers is that the poorer countries
often lose their top specialists and are left with novices. These professionals
often have the skills and ideas to significantly boost the economy, which is
important to improve the standard of living of its residents. The loss of these
workers is why developed countries keep improving while the poorer
countries remain stagnant. Aside from the brain drain, the other issue is the
lack of needed personnel. With so many people exiting the country or
leaving their jobs to fulfil the requirements to work abroad, there is often a
void in the workplace. For example, in many developing countries, hospitals
and schools are often understaffed, causing a decline in services.
Though such problems have been going on for quite some time, there are
plausible solutions. The first is to offer what the migrating professionals are
looking for: proper compensation and benefits. Doing this will require a lot
of coordination and possible tax breaks to make things work, but the results
will be well worth it if the talented and experienced workers can stay. The

second solution is to prevent workers from leaving until they have served the
country for a few years. Thus, should the experts go, at least the people left
behind will not be fresh graduates anymore. Most governments spend much
on their citizens' safety and basic needs. Therefore, it is just right that the
workers first contribute to their economy before being allowed to leave.
In summary, while it is good that the global economy requires laborers from
all corners of the world, it is not good that poorer countries must suffer
because of it. The public and private sectors need to work together to
mitigate this problem before it is too late.
