Brain drain or links to the world:  views on emigrants from Singapore.
"This article will present a general picture of emigration and emigrants from Singapore, with specific references to Australia where the data permit.  The first section presents some flow data on the magnitudes of emigration from Singapore.... It is necessary to place this outflow against the background of the constraints imposed by the country's small size. This is discussed in the second section, together with the economic policies and strategies adopted to overcome these constraints.  The third section documents the public debate on emigration and the responses to the 'problem.'  This is followed in the last section by a prognosis for the future, particularly with regard to the implications for Australia.  The article ends with a discussion of the relationship between emigration and nation building, using Singapore as a case study."
