| description |
The global distribution of talent is
highly skewed and the resources available to countries to
develop and utilize their best and brightest vary
substantially. The migration of skilled workers across
countries tilts the deck even further. Using newly available
data, the paper first reviews the landscape of global talent
mobility, which is both asymmetric and rising in importance.
Next, the determinants of global talent flows at the
individual and firm levels are presented and some important
implications are sketched. Third, the national gatekeepers
for skilled migration and broad differences in approaches
used to select migrants for admission are reviewed. Looking
forward, the capacity of people, firms, and countries to
successfully navigate this tangled web of global talent will
be critical to their success. |
