Question

Write a speech on the brain drain phenomenon that Ghana had to face some years ago​

Answer 1

The International Organization for Migration says an increasing number of qualified, educated young Ghanaians are migrating to foreign countries. It says this so-called "brain drain" could affect the country's economic and development prospects.

Ghana remains attractive for migrants from West African countries because of its political stability and relative economic well being.

But, at the same time, a new study shows many educated Ghanaians who are unable to find suitable employment at home are going abroad in search of work.

The study by the International Organization for Migration finds more than 70 percent of Ghanaian migrants stay in West Africa. But, it says this trend is starting to change.
