Malanding
A New Database of Health Professional Emigration from Africa
Michael A. Clemens and Gunilla Pettersson
08/11/2006
The migration of doctors and nurses from Africa to rich countries has
raised fears of an African medical brain drain. But empirical research
on the issue has been hampered by lack of data. How many doctors and
nurses have left Africa? Which countries did they leave? Where have they
settled? To answer these questions, CGD's Michael Clemens and Gunilla
Pettersson have compiled a dataset of the cumulative bilateral net flows
of African-born physicians and nurses to the nine most important
destination countries. It is the first dataset of bilateral migration
flows specific to a skilled profession collected systematically for a
large number of developing countries. Compilation of the dataset is a
part of CGD's ongoing research on the links between international labor
mobility and global development. This short note makes the data
available to the research community.
