    Students at the Faculty of Business and Insurance at LGU organized a conference entitled « The Immigration of Brains » that aims to stress this phenomenon in Lebanon.
    Dr. Pierre Khoury, Vice President for Development, inaugurated the conference welcoming all students, guests, and speakers. Then he spoke about the obvious aspect of an immigration that takes place in a country rich in qualified human resources. He also spoke about the multiple factors that make young people leave their home country and which are not restricted to limited job opportunities but extend to security, standard of living, and the quality of services. He explained that this phenomenon is taking place because industrial countries, where revenues are high and science and research encouraged, attract scientists and young researchers. Dr. Khoury insisted that immigration may bring in to the home country cash flow that constitutes a monetary advantage to the government, yet such advantage is artificially boosting the public deficit. Such cash, he added, would be better used to boost the economy than to help cover the public deficit. (read more)
