Summary/Abstract: Many developed countries suffer the economic consequences of a growth- and wealth-limiting demographic gap, which they only can fill with immigration. Immigrants must be capable to be integrated into the receiving economy based on age and skills. However, emigration of elites raises in the home-countries the complex problem of “Brain Drain” (loss of human capital), which is offset by a “Brain Gain” in the destination country due to immigration. Recent research shows, that within the framework of a liberal migration policy there can be a "Brain Circulation" that has advantages for all countries involved.
