Could we implement our knowledge
@home? Could we make a new start up company? Would we get the position as we expected? Would we get enough salary? Proper education and health for our kids? Culture shock? ????????????
Back for good? ehm…
![Page 3: Mengapa kami (belum) mau pulang?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55521845b4c9054c668b4569/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Our knowledge not (yet) applicable. Given “unexpected” positions (tukang
ketik etc.). No support (from
government/institution: funding etc.). Working environment, (attitude, we may
be seen as rivals not as colleagues).
Back for good? Challenges

No “enough” welfares (compare with
Malaysia, provide great benefits for their researchers).
Bureaucrazy. (e.g., difficult to become lecturer in Univs)
And … many more……… No Future? You decide!
Back for good? Challenges

Countries that have invested massively in
their human resources will be able to establish high-technology industries -> great impact on their economies.
The quality of higher education, availability of world class R&D centers and an environment in which innovation and entrepreneurship can flourish are essential to wealth generation and poverty alleviation.
Brain Investment

In 1960, only 5 % of the youth in South Korea
aged between 17-23 were enrolled in higher education institutions -> its exports were only $32 million.
By 2009, Korea expanded its universities and research centers -> massively increased its enrolment in universities so that 92 %of its youth of the same age group were enrolled in higher education institutions -> its exports had jumped to $354 billion!

Malaysia invest about 30 % of its budget on
educations for the last 30 years, 87 % of the total high tech exports from the Islamic world come from Malaysia alone.
Indonesia? Our government seems have no (yet!) interest in research short term goal only

Poor countries can end up benefiting when their
brightest citizens emigrate World Bank: workers from developing countries
remitted a total of $325 billion in 2010. (http://www.economist.com/node/18741763)
Transfer technology. Extend networks. Help shape the regulatory structure (hopefully ) We may return home, with skills that would have
been hard to pick up had we never gone abroad.
Brain drain or brain gain?
![Page 11: Mengapa kami (belum) mau pulang?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55521845b4c9054c668b4569/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Back to Indonesia directly after study finished,
maintain networks with friends, colleagues, professors, etc. abroad -> PPI, professional organizations, research collaborations.
Working abroad keep networks with Indonesia, try develop Indonesia from outside.
Or ……. Gain knowledge, experience and network first by working abroad for couple of years then back home after we’re armored with all these experiences.
Any other suggestions?
So?
