Abstract

Brain circulation contributed greatly to Taiwan in the 1980s and 1990s, because the returnees brought back not only technology but also the business styles and knowledge from the developed countries. In the twenty-first century, however, there is little expectation of brain circulation and Taiwan is experiencing a shortage of highly skilled human resources. To address this issue, the Taiwanese government has been proactively recruiting workers internationally to acquire advanced technologies and fill the shortage of highly skilled human resources. However, Taiwanese workers are leaving Taiwan, because a number of Chinese companies or universities are offering high monetary compensation to recruit Taiwanese workers. This trend is also observed in companies from other countries, such as Japan or Singapore, who also seek Taiwanese workers. The movement of skilled workers to and from Taiwan in the twenty-first century seems to differ slightly from the pre-1980s brain drain and the brain circulation of the 1980s–1990s. The Taiwanese government and companies should make efforts to avoid brain drain.

Returnees often received a higher than average salary because their added value in the labor market is extremely high. For example, according to Pack (2001), returnees’ salaries were 1.4 times the average of that for workers with graduate degrees (p. 724).

For example, the government established a special plan for students studying abroad in 2004, which selects 375 students annually in a field specified by the government and sends them overseas. Another special program encourages postdoctoral students to study abroad for short-term periods. In 2010, the government’s reform of the scholarship system led to 437 students participating in long-term programs and 708 students entering short-term programs at top universities overseas. Another special governmental program encourages postdoctoral students to study abroad for short periods. This program has sent 251 postdoctoral students who majored in science in 2011, 215 in 2012, and 222 in 2013 to study abroad (National Science Council, https://​nscnt12.​nsc.​gov.​tw/​WAS2/​academia/​AsAcademiaInquir​e.​aspx?​sys=​PT Accessed September 21, 2015). In addition, the government has instituted formal collaborations with the University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago and sent 27 PhD candidates and 60 postdoctoral students from top Taiwanese universities to these universities (Department of Manpower Planning, Council for Economic Planning and Development, Executive Yuan 2011, pp. 21–22).

This reduction in students studying abroad is partly because of the increase of the number of university in Taiwan, from 16 in 1988 to 126 in 2015. Another reason is that many young Taiwanese now prefer to obtain international experiences by working part-time abroad instead of participating in formal international study programs. In 2013, about 35,000 students went to Australia on working holidays compared with the about 30,000 students who studied abroad that year (Commonwealth, 550, June 25, 2014, p. 49).

In 1999, the government stopped recording this statistic, which is in itself an indication that the number of returnees to Taiwan is no longer remarkable.
