A negative impact of outmigration is the loss of talent from a donor region, e.g., nurses from the Philippines migrated to Ireland. It is usually the most educated and younger sections of society who migrate. The state of the Philippines has invested in their training and this investment is then lost. The donor region is left with a lack of educated and highly-skilled workers. This may lead to a failure to attract investment from MNCs who require skilled labour. This then furthers the economic problems of already under-developed donor regions.
