当发展中的人民考虑移民的时候，他们通常最向往离开家乡前往硅谷或是发达的医院和大学。这些人才是诸如美国、加拿大和澳大利亚等期望吸引到的类型，这些通过制定有利于大学毕业生的移民政策吸引人才。
多项研究表明，来自于发展中受过良好教育的人尤其可能选择移民国外。2004年对印度家庭的一次大型调查显示，接近40%的移民国外者都接受过高中以上的教育，相比之下，在整个印度超过25岁的印度人口中，只有大约3.3%的人接受过高中以上的教育。这样的“人才流失”现象长期困扰着贫困的政策制定者。
这些政策制定者们担心，移民造成的人才流失会使本国经济蒙受损失，夺走本国急需的人才，而这些人本可以在自己的大学教书，自己的医院工作，并且为本国的工厂开发新的产品。
