The authors use new sources, homogenize definitions of what a migrant is, and compute gender-disaggregated indicators of the brain drain. Emigration stocks and rates are provided by level of schooling and gender for 195 source countries in 1990 and 2000. The data set can be used to capture the recent trend in women's skilled migration and to analyze its causes and consequences for developing countries. The .findings show that women represent an increasing share of the OECD immigration stock and exhibit relatively higher rates of brain drain than men. The gender gap in skilled migration is strongly correlated with the gender gap in educational attainment at origin. Equating women's and men's access to education would probably reduce gender differences in the brain drain.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACHIEVEMENT OF WOMENADULT LITERACYADULT POPULATIONBRAIN DRAINCAPITAL INVESTMENTCENSUS DATACENTRAL AMERICACENTRAL AMERICANCITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCONSEQUENCES OF MIGRATIONDETERMINANTS OF MIGRATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIASPORAEASTERN ASIAECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC STATUSEDUCATED MOTHERSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL GENDER GAPSEDUCATIONAL LEVELEMIGRATIONEMIGRATION COUNTRIESEMIGRATION RATEEMPOWERMENTENROLLMENTENROLMENT RATEEXPATRIATESEXPENDITURESFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY REUNIONFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE MIGRANTSFEMALE POPULATIONFERTILITY RATESFOREIGN CITIZENSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN POPULATIONFUTURE GENERATIONSGENDERGENDER BREAKDOWNGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DIMENSIONGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER GAPGENDER GAP IN EDUCATIONGENDER GAPSGENDER INEQUALITYGIRLSGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTHOST COUNTRYHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN CAPITALILLEGAL IMMIGRATIONILLEGAL MIGRANTSIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANT POPULATIONIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONIMMIGRATION COUNTRIESIMPACT OF MIGRATIONINCOME GROUPSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION OF WOMENINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION REPORTINTERNATIONAL MOBILITYINVESTMENT IN CHILDRENLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE SURVEYSLABOR MARKETLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR-EXPORTING COUNTRIESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLOWER FERTILITYMIDDLE EASTMIGRANTMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMIGRATION PRESSUREMIGRATIONSNATIONAL POPULATIONNORTH MIGRATIONNUMBER OF IMMIGRANTSNUMBER OF PEOPLENURSESPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH REPORT ON GENDERPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOOR ACCESSPOPULATION CENSUSESPOPULATION CENTERPOPULATION DATAPOPULATION REGISTERSPOPULATION SIZEPOWERPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRODUCTIVITYPROFESSIONAL EMIGRATIONPROGRESSPULL FACTORSREMITTANCESREPRESENTATION OF WOMENSECONDARY EDUCATIONSKILL LEVELSKILLED EMIGRANTSSKILLED LABORSKILLED MIGRANTSSKILLED MIGRATIONSKILLED WOMENSKILLED WORKERSSMALL COUNTRIESSOCIAL CHANGESSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIETIESSOUTH AMERICASUB-SAHARAN AFRICATERTIARY EDUCATIONUNDPUNEQUAL ACCESSUNITED NATIONSUNSKILLED MIGRATIONUNSKILLED WOMENWESTERN EUROPEWOMEN IMMIGRANTSWORLD MIGRATIONYOUNG MENMicrodata SetWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4613
