Abstract

Brain drain or human capital flight is the phenomenon of intellectuals, scientists, intellectuals, or researchers leaving their own countries to more developed countries. The reasons behind it can vary. Considerations like hiked salaries, superior technology, better standards of living, and quality of work life, more unwavering political conditions & demand of skilled professional are attributed as reasons for brain drain from developing to developed countries. In contemporary technologically advanced era, digital media and internet has affected our political, social, cultural values. It would be oblivious if we neglected the role of digital media & internet in connecting cross border communities. This connection has brought changes in primordial intensions and the value system of people in developing countries to stay or move out of their country of origin to a developed country. There is a dearth of study related to paradigm shift in cross border mobility patterns mediated by digital media and internet. Here, it is an attempt to understand how the internet and digital media influences the intensions and priorities to move out from one's own country to foreign location. Specifically, it will review the brain drain phenomenon that occurs in Indonesia to Singapore recently in 2023.
