Haiti Brain Drain - 85 percent of Haitian College Graduates leave Haiti... WOW...

I love your insight on cuutlres different from our own. Like many differences in culture, it's hard to say which facets of jealousy and covetousness are more detestable and dangerous.

The theft and blatant disregard for personal property in Haiti are easily identifiable sins, both of which find roots in jealousy.

Although repugnant, these acts are hard to hide from the public view and often easier to directly address.

I would love to go back to Haiti and invest my time and money and some day retire there, but I cannot.

I was born in Haiti in 1959 and now a naturalized US citizen.

Because Haiti do not have a dual-citizenship policy I would have no rights there.

In my estimation, there isn't much the government can do to lure those Haitians back to the country.

First of all, the government is unable to pay them the salary they are accustomed to; and secondly, the long term benefit they are expecting from their adopted countries is non existant in Haiti.

Incentives such as insurance, retirement benefit and so on and so forth are not obtainable in Hati; hence, the reluctance to come back. Perhaps, after they have secure all those securities, they will return.

That does not surprise me at all. Now the Haitian government needs to give them an incentive to lure them back to Haiti.

The brain drain will continue unless there is real change.

I am hopeful.

God bless

Young people all over the world when they cannot find jobs they migrated to other parts of the country or to other parts of the world.

If we want to keep our skilled workers, we have to create jobs to retain them otherwise they will continue to
