EU are <strong>the</strong>n described and discussed. Finally, <strong>the</strong> socio-economic and legal environments<br />

in <strong>the</strong> EU are introduced to show <strong>the</strong> levels of potential for immigration and <strong>the</strong><br />

constraints related to <strong>the</strong> mobility of medical doctors from ECE and MENA.<br />

I.1 Introduction to <strong>the</strong> Research<br />

This is to introduce <strong>the</strong> main components of <strong>the</strong> overall study focusing on “What can be learnt<br />

from <strong>the</strong> new economics of <strong>the</strong> migration of medical doctors”. The major directions expected<br />

focus on <strong>the</strong> new economic and social policies related to migration, employment and education<br />

besides country and global policies. These are discussed in relation to <strong>the</strong> outcomes of <strong>the</strong> new<br />

economics of skilled labor migration.<br />

The objective pursued in this sub-part is to show how new economic policies are needed<br />

to support current and future health demand and requirements. While <strong>the</strong> literature on<br />

brain-drain has had pessimistic policy outcomes, <strong>the</strong> relatively new literature on brain-<br />

gain and brain-drain suggests new avenues for fur<strong>the</strong>r and promsing policies. The global<br />

health systems as well as <strong>the</strong> specificities of health care require promising collaborative<br />

and mutual views between migrant receiving and sending countries.<br />

Before introducing <strong>the</strong> key components of <strong>the</strong> proposal that is shown in I.1.2, <strong>the</strong><br />

coverage of <strong>the</strong> situation prevailing around <strong>the</strong> world appears to constitute an important<br />

step. This is addressing <strong>the</strong> worldwide situation of shortage of medical doctors with its<br />

links to migration, policies and medical education. This latter contributes to <strong>the</strong><br />

enhancement of <strong>the</strong> supply of physicians but might also be a source of emigration.<br />

I.1.1 Shortage of Medical Doctors, Migration, Education & Global Health Systems<br />

The above issues are discussed in this part with first, <strong>the</strong> introduction of shortage of<br />

medical doctors. This is followed by a focus on migration and <strong>the</strong>n by <strong>the</strong> on-going<br />

related policies.<br />

Such components are likely to allow for an overall understanding of <strong>the</strong> links between<br />

shortage, migration and education besides <strong>the</strong> overall policies governing education,<br />

migration and health.<br />
