Policy Interventions in Outflow of Iranian Talent; The Case of Iran

Roudgar I and Kanagasundram T

The main objectives of this study are examined the key policy factors in cultural, economic and political conditions that contribute to Iranian talented people migration. The principal aim of this study is to propose ideas that can contribute to specific changes in public policies, to curb further outflow and may encourage Iranian expatriates to return to their homeland. This study, however, examines in depth the policy interventions related to the migration of talented Iranians. Interviews were conducted on highly educated Iranians living in six industrialized advanced nations to obtain their views on reasons for their migration. A predominant theme emerging from the study is that unfavorable political conditions have been the key reason for the migration of talented Iranians from their homeland.
