    Highly skilled and qualified people emigrate from developing countries to developed countries to earn more money, causing a phenomenon known as "brain drain". While brain drain provides benefits to developed countries such as increased tax revenues and innovation, it hurts developing countries by reducing human capital and economic growth potential. However, some argue that brain drain may not be entirely negative if policies are implemented to encourage return migration and cooperation between nations. Reverse brain drain occurs when skilled migrants return to their home countries, helping to transfer knowledge and spur development.
