The data is for the research question, what are the major contributors towards brain drain in Pakistan?
Pakistan has been facing increasing numbers of immigration but the outflow of educated and skilled people has happened at faster rate than normal over past few years. We wanted to look into factors which were the underlying reasons for this trend.
Factors that we believe strongly effect brain drain Pakistan are as following:
1. GDP per Capita as representative of living standards
2. Social factors in Pakistan; corruption, political instability and governmental regulations
3. Enrollment in institutions showing the trend in education
4. Remittance for specific countries
