| description |
This paper updates and extends the
Docquier-Marfouk data set on inter-national migration by
educational attainment. The authors use new sources,
homogenize definitions of what a migrant is, and compute
gender-disaggregated indicators of the brain drain.
Emigration stocks and rates are provided by level of
schooling and gender for 195 source countries in 1990 and
2000. The data set can be used to capture the recent trend
in women's skilled migration and to analyze its causes
and consequences for developing countries. The .findings
show that women represent an increasing share of the OECD
immigration stock and exhibit relatively higher rates of
brain drain than men. The gender gap in skilled migration is
strongly correlated with the gender gap in educational
attainment at origin. Equating women's and men's
access to education would probably reduce gender differences
in the brain drain. |
