Abstract
Why do laypeople in general and the highly skilled in particular move across the borders? This question is still wandering and has posed since the sixties of the last century in the Arab region. Most of Arab successive governments are still turning a blind eye to answer it and hide part of ineffective contextual policies that are related to the education and labor policies. This paper tries to explain and analyze the reasons beyond the brain drain, explore the economic cost the developing countries pay to subsidize the education, then pushing the brain to emigrate due to an unfriendly context. The paper concluded with a suggested strategic vision to face this problem and call for a comprehensive policy approach in dealing with this phenomenon.
