Description:
This study shows that graduates from higher quality institutions account for a disproportionately large share of emigrating physicians in India. Even within high-end institutions, better physicians are more likely to emigrate. Interventions should focus on the highly trained individuals in the top institutions that contribute disproportionately to the loss of human resources for health. The findings suggest that affirmative-action programmes may have an unintended benefit in that they may help retain a subset of such personnel. [adapted from author]
