According to opinion polls, that is the "brain drain", known in our country not all.Less than 90% of Russians something heard about it and only 60% know exactly what it is.Meanwhile, the question is an important and serious, because this process greatly affects the various spheres of society.
«brain drain" - a global outflows (emigration) scientists associated with negative changes in the country.Since the beginning of the nineties, when the Soviet regime collapsed with a crash, and a crisis in Russia, especially apparent in the economic sphere, a significant part of chartered doctors, researchers and other representatives of the scientific world he decided to move home, having gone to other countries.Thus, in less than 10 years, the number of specialists has halved.The "brain drain" continues today.Perhaps not so active, but the results it is quite noticeable.
But the crisis - a common cause, which is not until the end of the current forms a picture of the problem.The consequence of the negative economic situation in the country was that the main state budget funds allocated for the development of other areas, forgetting about the scientific sectors.Thus, the money, which would be enough for a normal existence of the research world (not to mention the possibility of new discoveries and innovation support), almost was not.And the "brain drain" started to happen for the simple reason that foreign countries were willing to provide scientists not only a sufficient amount of funds, but also socially worthy existence.
intellectual level of the country - is not so much quantitative as qualitative indicators.And the problem of "brain drain" is that the skilled personnel who are citizens of Russia and can bring significant benefits to the homeland, engaged in research activities abroad.The percentage of such people from the total number of researchers is about 80. The rest of the 20 theoretically and practically can make real scientific revolution.Discovery performed by them, can significantly speed up technological progress, bringing Russia to a new level.
tried to correct the negative trend in different ways.For example, in some countries, according to the Research Institute of Labor, it was officially forbidden to emigrate highly qualified teachers and doctors.However, even given this fact, people find ways to change their place of residence.
«brain drain" has several directions.This is not necessarily the departure abroad.Quite often, promising scientists and students who have graduated from college, decided to retrain, working, for example, in the service sector.It is not uncommon, and the so-called "brain ideas": scientists from countries do not go, they just sell their projects and ideas to foreign customers.In addition, very often Russian researchers collaborating with employers from other countries.The reason one - the state is unwilling or unable to provide a sufficient number of scientific sector finance.That is why the problem of "brain drain" is today one of the most important.
