Qu es el Brain Drain?
The traditional view on Brain Drain is that international migration leads
developing countries to lose skilled workers to developed countries, due to
higher wages in the latter (Bhagwati and Hamada, 1974). Emigration of the
skilled from poor countries to rich countries can be detrimental to economic
growth in the former through a set of negative externalities, for example,
reduced productivity of those left behind, higher costs of public gods and loss
of the investment made in human capital formation.

Qu es el Brain Waste?
Brain waste describes a situation with skill downgrading, where an individual
is working in a job that requires a skill level lower than the one he/she has
required (Reitz, 2001) In other words, brain waste arises when a skilled
individual incurs in the costs of taking education but he/she does not reap the
benefits of human capital acquisition, i,e.; a skilled migrant ends up working
as unskilled.
With brain waste, then, skilled migrants run the risk of not
accessing the rewards to human capital in the destination country. If migrants
internalize this brain waste risk, the education incentives that arises with
international migration can therefore be reduced, decreasing also the chances
for a brain gain

Qu es el Brain Gain?
Is the increase in the number of people that acquire education due to
migration prospects more than compensates for the skilled people that
migrate.
