	Feebs11  +  436129 Sun, 28 Oct 07 08:35 PM Brain-drain means academics being persuaded to move to another country to work, usually because they are paid more and often because there are better facilities. I cannot think of an opposite situation. Is this in something you are reading, or are you just playing with words? Feebs11 Joined on Thu, Nov 23 2006 UK Veteran Member 5,015 Antonyms

	Marius Hancu  +  436136 Sun, 28 Oct 07 08:41 PM Brain-drain: relative to the country which they are leaving Perhaps: Brain-influx: relative to the country where they are going But it's not an established term, as the other one.

	Clive  +  436211 Mon, 29 Oct 07 12:28 AM Hi, If you want to play with words, consider that we sometimes make an opposite by saying something like 'a reverse brain-drain'.
