 The September 2012
edition of IEEE's
Spectrum magazine has an interesting chart on the last page that
shows the percentage of researchers that immigrate/emigrate to/from 16 different countries
versus how many emigrate from the them. The chart bars represent percentages, not absolute
numbers. Switzerland has the highest number of researchers immigrating to it
(~60%) while about 35% emigrate from it. We don't know
whether any of those immigrants stayed a while and then joined the emigrants ranks. India
has the greatest number of researcher emigrants leaving (~40%)
while immigrants relocating to India are almost immeasurable. China is not included because
access to researchers there was too restricted (gotta love
those Communist regimes).Posted
