Zad Al-Urdon Editorial: Jordanians' Brain Drain
The article discussed the phenomenon of silent Jordanian brain drain and how it impacts the future of development and the economy in Jordan. The writer explained that this migration does not occur with obvious crises or long queues; rather, it begins gradually as doctors, engineers, and programmers receive external offers that entice them with attractive job benefits and advanced research opportunities. It was noted that repeated cycles of training and qualification without providing an encouraging internal environment for investment in the selected workforce lead to significant losses, especially in rare specialties. The article highlighted that the issue of brain drain is more related to the quality of the professional environment, opportunities for promotion and development, rather than just salaries compared to wealthy countries. Building a knowledge-based economy, strengthening relationships with expatriates, diversifying opportunities and private sector development, and creating an environment that encourages retaining talent were emphasized as key points. In conclusion, it was affirmed that improving the work environment, providing clear career paths, and developing educational and research infrastructure can enhance Jordan's ability to reduce losses caused by brain drain. Instead of trying to completely halt it, the goal should be to transform it into a connected and sustainably beneficial cycle of knowledge exchange.
