Abstract
"The present paper provides a research review of recent literature on international migration by the highly skilled. Its principal aim is to identify the themes which are being discussed, and suggest where research into the subject might best proceed.... [The authors outline] the two most important perspectives in extant research, economic and socio-cultural, [and review] what is known about the geography of migration by the highly skilled.... The paper proposes...a reconceptualisation of migration by the highly skilled as one element in the international movement of expertise." excerptKeywords: Brain Drain; Cultural Background; Demographic Factors; Economic Factors; Employment Status; Immigrants; International Migration; Literature Review; Migrants; Migration; Occupational Status; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Research Activities; Research Methodology; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status; World
