BRAIN DRAIN AMONG ACADEMICIANS IN TWO HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN ETHIOPIA

Abstract

To date the issue of brain drain among
academicians in higher education institutions in Ethiopia has
not been seriously treated. This is, therefore, a preliminary
attempt to determine its magnitude as well as to probe into
its causes. Accordingly, a study was conducted and the
findings show inter alia that the magnitude of the brain
drain is quite sizeable and its major causes lie in political
andjob satisfactionfactors. Consequently, its remedies also
lie in the amelioration of these conditions.
