title: Causes of brain drain and solutions:  the Taiwan experience.
abstract: "This article examines brain drain, its origin in Taiwan, and government response.  One of the major findings of this study is that the elite emigration in Taiwan has been caused by a host of complex academic, social, economic, and personal factors."  The author notes that the brain drain from Taiwan to the United States is primarily an outflow of college graduates rather than of trained scientists and engineers.  Measures developed by the Taiwanese government to recruit overseas graduates back to Taiwan are described.
