Abstract
Brain drain is a term used in development literature to refer to the idea that the academically and technologically trained human capital of developing countries are “drained” away to the greener pastures of highly developed nations and their labor markets. This research endeavor was designed to evaluate the attitudes and intentions of BYU students from lesser-developed countries towards taking their BYU education back to their countries of origin to promote development. In addition, I sought to evaluate BYU’s role in facilitating students’ ability to do so.
