Abstract
HERNANDEZ, José Luis. Migration of Qualified Workers as an Obstacle to Development. Prob. Des [online]. 2013, vol.44, n.172, pp.81-104. ISSN 0301-7036.
Predominant approaches have not produced a satisfactory response to various questions regarding international labor migration from underdeveloped to developed countries. However, they almost always conclude that this dynamic is a problem. This article proposes an explanation based on the theory of accumulation, using the monopoly of developed countries on productive forces as a central explanation. This means that the law of population established by capital takes on different characteristics in these two types of countries. However, at the same time, its functioning on a global level provides an answer to the paradoxes and characteristics implicit to this phenomenon, and proposes a way to redefine them and overcome underdevelopment. These answers are also supported by the experience of various Asian countries.
Keywords : qualified migration; development; underdevelopment; law of population; reserve army.
