Tunisia – Lack of security and low wages behind brain drain

Tunis-Tunisia 15/12/2018

As Tunisia comes in second place in brain drain rates, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Anwar Ma’arouf, said during a seminar held in the capital Tunis that a comprehensible approach must be developed to address this issue, stressing that nations cannot advance without their highly skilled professionals. Economic experts attributed the brain drain to the lack of career prospects in a country where dreams do not necessarily come true, due to the political instability and the lack of proper work environment for qualified individuals who are seeking higher paying jobs and better quality of life.
