The project will gather evidence on the scope of the emigration of healthcare and information technology professionals (including gender and age specific trends within each sector), assess its impacts on current and future labour shortages of these sectors in the country, analyse labour market gender gaps and other gender-specific issues and provide tailored recommendations. The project will conduct gender-sensitive research focusing on the emigration trends in the healthcare and the technology sectors, impacts of emigration on communities at the local levels as well as on the information technology industry (using deliberative polls) and how relevant governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, including the private sector, can play a role in addressing identified challenges in a sustainable manner. Recommendations will include innovative solutions to mitigate the effects of brain drain, maintaining quality healthcare and technology services in the country, including through investments in new technologies (digitalization) and forms of employment.
