Brain Drain and Gender Inequality in Turkey

The author presents a review of brain drain literature, as well as analyzing the brain drain from Turkey using original survey data. Presenting an account of state changes in Turkey, and using a range of empirical methods, the book argues that women have a higher tendency not to return to the country due to increasing gender inequality, borne out of a shift towards a more authoritarian regime over the last decade.

Explores brain drain and return migration, based on a survey study Provides policy recommendations to combat brain drain and promote return of highly educated Turks back to Turkey Offers extensive discussion of previous findings relating to the brain drain/skilled migration phenomenon in Turkey
