Theme: Young/Brain Drain

“Brain Drain” is an ongoing issue for years, but also a problem. We want to update it a little more by adding the word “Young” to the brain drain. Developed countries are trying to get hold of the brain power required to implement projects in the fields of technology, industry and science, through brain drain from underdeveloped or developing countries. As for why we have added “Young” to the beginning of our title; talented and foreign language-speaking young people are more preferred. At this point, two questions come to mind: – Why do these young people prefer other countries instead of staying in their own country, being useful and building a future? – Why the countries receiving brain drain do not try to make up for this deficiency in their own countries, but receive emigration from abroad? Young minds, no matter how talented they are, have trouble finding employment in their home country and see abroad as a savior. Professions such as doctors, engineers and software developers have come to the fore in recent migration from countries at war and the Middle East. Developed countries can employ these young people for cheaper wages than experienced personnel. Of course, it is not easy for young people to break away from their environment, but the issue of future is much more important to them than sentimentality. There is also the “Hidden Brain Drain”. It consists of young people who stay in their own countries and serve foreign capital. Their bodies are in their own country, but their minds serve foreign countries. Among the countries that receive the most brain drain and have high job standards; Norway, Sweden, USA, Canada and Australia. These countries are followed by Switzerland, England, Germany and Ireland. India, China, Türkiye, Balkan and Middle Eastern countries are among the countries that give the most brain drain. Türkiye is one of the leading countries in the “Young” Brain Drain. In 2019 alone, 330,289 people immigrated abroad. 50,151 of the immigrants are young people between the ages of 25-29. Our expectation from you, cartoonist friends; Questioning and scrutinizing the “Young” Brain Drain with your lines. We may not be able to change the world, but at least we can try it on paper (or tablet). So what do you think?
