"In India, as in most other countries, the consensus is that businesses and governments are neither doing enough to slow outward migration, nor to attract these people back to their home countries after they have left for jobs or universities abroad," Manpower India Managing Director Naresh Malhan said.

Brain drain can be restricted in two ways firstly, by curbing talent to go out and secondly, by calling back the migrated talent.

"Domestic talent can be restricted to move out from the country by training them young so as to harness their capacity skills and we can attract the migrated talent back by offering them similar opportunities, which will ensure that they remain productive and able," Malhan said.

Saying that employers, governments and individuals need to strive to understand the supply and demand nature of labour flows across the world, the survey said "governments need to focus on attracting and retaining mobile talent ...and to consider how to relocating might affect their career and how to move successfully."

The top ten jobs that employers are filing with foreign talent across the 27 countries include – labourers, engineers, production operators, technicians, IT staff, sales representatives, administrative assistants, customer service representatives, senior executives and accounting and finance staff.

Manpower Inc gathered responses from 1,924 respondents in India and 28,000 globally in 27 individual countries and territories. The survey was done to determine employer concerns about the outward migration of talent and the extent to which they are utilising foreign talent to fill positions.
