Proportion of Emigrations
How affected are the countries?
This is a choropleth map visualisation that depicts the effects of brain drain on South East Asian countries. The indicator used for the emigrations is from the countries in the South East Asian region to countries with the "High-Income Economies" classification by World Bank to signify brain drain.
To use the visualisation, click and drag to navigate around the globe, scroll to zoom, click on a shaded country to display the details of brain drain emigrations of the country, and mouse over for the country's name.
Legend:
Proportion of Emigration per Population (%)
Context
It is shown that brain drain affects every South East Asian country differently, some countries are heavily affected by the effects of brain drain whereas others are not.
To further understand this phenomenon, the choropleth map visualisation created above shows the proportion of emigrations due to brain drain compared to the country's population.
A deeper shade of red colour signifies countries that are heavily affected by brain drain whereas a lighter shade of green colour signifies countries that are not as affected by brain drain. A deeper red colour indicates that a high percentage of the country's population seeks to emigrate to other countries with better economies compared to their country.
The visualisation may uncover underlying issues of a country that contribute to brain drain, such as the lack of job opportunities, poor working conditions, poor economic growth and political stability.

Malaysians leave the country due to brain drain

Is Malaysia's average income inadequate?
Barely About
4.12%
of Indonesia's population is affected by brain drain
Despite having one of the largest population in South East Asia (271,857,970), Indonesia is among one of the country which is least affected by brain drain.
Maybe most Indonesians cannot afford to emigrate to richer countries?
A great emigration necessarily implies unhappiness of some kind or other in the country that is deserted.
