Evaluating Policy Responses to Skilled Worker Emigration
A country is experiencing a significant 'brain drain,' where many of its most highly educated citizens, such as engineers and doctors, are moving abroad for work. A government official proposes a new policy: to solve this problem, the country should reduce the number of students admitted to university programs in these high-skill fields. Critically evaluate this proposed policy. In your answer, explain the likely underlying cause of the emigration and assess whether the proposed solution would effectively address it. Justify your reasoning.
