The International Migration of Health Workers (Hardcover)

This book is the first to draw together work on the migration of health workers in a range of global contexts. It provides the first detailed overview of the growing phenomenon of the international migration of skilled health workers (nurses, doctors and a range of more specialized workers). Despite the significance of this migration, in numbers, impacts (medical, economic social and political) and its seemingly inexorable growth, there have been no books that examine this situation in any detail (though many reports examine some facets of migration). The book focuses 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 some relationship to development issues. It therefore provides new, interdisciplinary reflections on such core issues as the brain drain, gender roles, remittances and sustainable development at a time when there has never been greater interest in the migration of health workers.
