Reverse Brain Drain: Indian and Chinese entrepreneurs in the United States ...
Jul 27, 2011 Skilled immigrants are leaving the United States in droves. This is because of economic opportunities in countries like India and China, a desire to be closer to family and friends, and a deeply flawed U.S immigration system. It doesn’t matter whether we call this “brain drain” or “brain circulation”—it is a loss for America. Innovation that would otherwise be happening here is going abroad. The most significant factors drawing both Indian and Chinese entrepreneurs home were economic opportunities, access to local markets, and family ties. More than 60% of Indian and 90% of Chinese returnees said the availability of economic opportunities in their countries was a major factor in their return. Seventy-eight percent of Chinese entrepreneurs were lured by the attraction of local markets as were 53% of Indian entrepreneurs. And 76% of Indian entrepreneurs and 51% of Chinese entrepreneurs said it was family ties that brought them back home. The returnees took pride in contributing to their home country’s economic development. More than 60% of Indian and 51% of Chinese entrepreneurs rated this as very important. Government incentives weren’t at all important for the Indians surveyed, but did lure back 23% of the Chinese. And only 10% of Indian and Chinese entrepreneurs left the United States because they had to; others may have been frustrated with their visa situation, but had other, more important reasons for returning home.

A Reverse Brain Drain? « Alex Counts' Book on Fonkoze and ...
When I was working on my schedule of interviews today, it became apparent that I needed a translator for some time in the afternoon. My host Helena introduced me to a just-arrived volunteer intern, Vanessa Short. It turns out she and her husband Caleb decided to leave their jobs and lives in the U.S. behind and come to Haiti for at least six months to volunteer with Fonkoze. Their motivation seems to come from a combination of religious faith, a desire (on Vanessa’s part) to contribute to the land of her birth, and the magnetic pull of adventure on young adults before they start having children.
They set up a website to spread the word about their odyssey and raise money to support their modest expenses here – I am going to make a contribution for sure! Both Vanessa and Caleb have been reading my blog even as they have been put right to work – Caleb did a day trip to Jacmel on his first day on “the job”; Vanessa seems happily occupied herself. Check them out on Facebook (search for “live from Haiti”) as well as their website (which is also listed on their colorful business card pictured below). Vanessa introduced me to Stephanie Garry, who is also a Fonkoze intern focused on social media – she says she’s been using the “content” in this blog to spread the word. Terrific!
Some people in Haiti believe that there is a reverse brain-drain underway – that a growing number of Haitians from the diaspora are returning to help rebuild. Others assert that a new generation of the super-rich families here are showing social responsibility and commitment to improving the country, rather than simply further enriching themselves and strengthening their links to the U.S and Europe. It is not clear whether these represent wishful thinking or promising trends, but I have certainly seen some anecdotal evidence of both. (Disclosure: I am an optimist by nature.)
I got Vanessa to speak on camera about her motivation for coming and did a fair job of editing one of her responses after a lot of effort. She obviously believes that the brain drain continues; however, she wants to contribute to a reversal.
