The 'brain drain' from Italy of some
its best-trained and highly skilled workers is growing, national
statistical agency Istat said Wednesday. It reported that 3,000
PhD holders graduating between 2008 and 2010, or almost 13%,
live outside the country, That number is almost double the 7% of
PhD grads from between 2004 and 2006, the agency said.
Physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists are among the
professionals most likely to leave, said Istat.
