The Figures are alarming. Each year over 600 Moroccan engineers left their homeland, announced in the summer of 2018, Said Amzazi, Minister of the interior of the North African Kingdom, is a huge professional phlebotomy, is added to the infrastructural modernisation of the country. The engineers are only part of a much wider Brain Drain, to fight with the country: Every year, approximately 8000 computer scientists returned to the country, the President of the Moroccan Association for information technology, Salwa Belkeziz-Karkari. This was not least due to the rain the recruitment policies of French businessmen visited the country regularly, so Belkeziz-Karkari, according to the digital newspaper “Morroco World News”.
Especially in recent years, the development had come to a head once again, says Fatima Ait Madani, Migration sociologist at the Institute for African studies in Rabat. “The last three-year courses of the engineering College are fully migrated – a total of 750 engineers.
In addition, a further new tendency to do in recent years: “It’s just students or new graduates from Hiking, but also already well-established work forces.

Algerian Doctors in Europe and the Gulf
It looks similar in other Maghreb countries. In Tunisia, around 10,000 engineers, have left since 2011, the country. Acuminate, the Situation, particularly since the year 2015, as many Tunisians hope for economic improvement in the country tasks. Since then, a total of 69,000 Tunisians were left to search for work elsewhere, Lorena Llando, head of the office of the International organization for Migration (IOM) in Tunis, according to the news Agency epd.

The reasons for professional phlebotomy would be on the Hand, Mohamed Yousfi, President of the Algerian Association of Public health work Doctors (SNPSSP). “The salaries and working conditions are bad,” Yousfi told the Reuters news Agency. “The Algerian doctors to fill the medical desert in the Western countries such as France, Canada and Germany. Also in the Gulf States, they are present,” said Yousfi.
Stagnant Health System
Although Algeria has a wide range of state health system in which more than 50,000 Doctors and 150,000 beds are available. But this state-operated System there is no private competition. The result is that The System is outdated and inefficient.

Overall, an OECD working study found that in 2010, about five million well-educated people – the equivalent of about 20 percent of the graduates from the three Maghreb countries abroad. For comparison: in 1990 there were ten per cent. The highest rate of increase was recorded in Algeria: There, the number of working abroad academics had quadrupled in the same period.

Long ago, the constant migration has resulted in a vicious circle: Young talents, do not wander off, because you can find the home with the conditions that you can imagine. By continuing you don’t contribute, but that is a change in circumstances in the old country, but on the contrary, may deteriorate further. The result: even more people migrate.

How can the Brain Drain be stopped? The Federal Ministry for economic cooperation and development (BMZ) has given in his “Marshal plan for Africa” answers. This includes first of all economic aid. So for example, the young founder of the company, are supported. This does not happen, however, by a simple money transfer.

With a view to exporting to Europe an infrastructure for quality assurance should be built so that the produced Goods, the European import requirements.
However, the promotion is not limited to immediate economic factors. Investments in security, peace and stability should also contribute to a favourable development of the labour market, as well as investments in a democratic, rule of law and Human rights Standards. Transparency and the fight against corruption are considered to be prerequisite to maintain the highly educated work forces in the country, where they are urgently needed.
