Download or read book The International Migration of Health Workers written by John Connell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-02-11 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the first detailed overview of the growing phenomenon of the international migration of skilled health workers. The contributors focus on who migrates, why they migrate, what the outcomes are for them and their extended families, what their experiences in the workforce are, and ultimately, the extent to which this expanding migration flow has a relationship to development issues. It therefore provides new, interdisciplinary reflections on such core issues as brain drain, gender roles, remittances and sustainable development at a time when there has never been greater interest in the migration of health workers.
