Abstract
The issue of immigration, which has recently come to the fore with wars, has brought brain drain discussions back to the agenda along with the changing world. According to TURKSTAT statistical data, the number of people migrating abroad from Turkey increased by % 62,3 from 2022 to 2023. Another striking feature in the statistical data is that the majority of the migrating population is between the ages of 25-29. The worldwide impact of the economy has caused a significant increase in brain drain in Turkey, as in other countries. The basis on which this human flow is evaluated varies depending on the sending and receiving countries. This study evaluates the concepts of “brain drain” and “brain gain” from a socio-political perspective and to analyze the social reasons for the recent human flow in brain drain.
