Initiative summary:
Brain drain is the emigration of qualified people whose skills are scarce in their place of origin. Its negative effects can occur at national or regional level and can exacerbate problems in regions suffering from population decline. The initiative on brain drain and mitigating the challenges associated with population decline will look into the different drivers, the long-term consequences in the EU and potential comprehensive solutions to stop or even reverse brain drain.
