BURDELNII, Eugeniu. Mainstreaming Highly Skilled Migration into Development: the Case of the Republic of Moldova. Eastern European Journal of Regional Studies. June 2016, vol. 2, issue 1, pp. 35-50. ISSN 2537-6179; E-ISSN 1857-436X.
Following the process of globalization, human capital has turned into a major driver of economic growth and countries around the world are up in a global race for “best and brightest”. The countries of origin of highly skilled migrants (HSMs), such as Moldova, represent a country where the impact of skilled migration on development are new issues on the public agenda. HSMs could become the spillovers of development if a state succeeds to implement effective political, social and economic reform, creating a favorable domestic enabling environment for returnees.
