Abstract
International migration of educated labor is an ever increasing phenomenon, which at best bene? ts the immigrant himself, the sending country and the receiving country alike. After an overview of such bene? ts, this article will focus on the limitations of international labor migration -induced bene? ts for the country of origin. Three aspects that might lessen the actual bene? ts of global migration of the educated for the sending country will be elaborated: the hazards of emigration from, of the lack of migrant return to and of money remittances to the developing sending country. When is emigration acutely hazardous for a small developing country, how often does migrant return occur, and what is the actual effect of money remittances? Finally, could such limitations to sending country bene? ts of international migration be eliminated or minimized through international cooperation?

Global migration today is a massive phenomenon that continues to increase
Canada and New Zealand do belong to the elite of immigration policy development, and they may be argued as not the most representative samples, it is evident that economic benefits are to be expected if basic factors of immigration success are present in the national immigration policy – such as a timely and punctual charting of domestic labor market needs, good domestic multicultural relations, and the sufficient language skills and integrative ability and willingness of the immigrant and his/her family (Tanner 2003)
We looked at the acute challenges of excessive emigration, still not excluding the chance that the Tanzanian teacher or the Pakistani agriexpert may once return back home
Summary
Global migration today is a massive phenomenon that continues to increase. According to a recent report by the UN, the total number of international migrants, i.e. those residing in a country other than where they were born, was 175 million in 2000, or about 3 percent of the world population. It is to hypothesize that three strengthening trends of global migration of the skilled will all lessen the benefit share of the emigrant sending country These aspects will be focused at more closely: a) a case of large flows of highly skilled immigrants with families from critical branches of a poor and small country to a developed country, in a short period of time, b) the actual probability of permanent return to a sending country and c) the occurrence, the continuity and the factual macroeconomic effects of money remittances to a sending country. Would there be viable international measures to minimize the benefit limitations of global migration to the sending country, on international and state level? What can be done for the optimal good of the sending country?
