<B>?I wonder why so many talented Mauritians want to settle abroad?
?It has now been almost nine years since I moved from India to come here. As an expatriate, it is quite sad to note that so many talented Mauritians are leaving the country and settling abroad. I meet people from all walks of life on a daily basis who express a strong desire to go abroad and settle there as they do not see a future for their children in Mauritius. We often wonder why anyone should leave this beautiful island and go elsewhere. In addition to the physical beauty of Mauritius, I believe there are enough workplaces to exploit those talents. Of course, one can say that there are not enough opportunities and openings in Mauritius. I disagree with this as Mauritius is becoming a country full of opportunities.
On the other hand, there are many places occupied by foreigners. I wonder why those places are not simply filled by Mauritians themselves. There is a tremendous pool of human resource talents available in this country and if the government and private sector can make judicious use of this talent, Mauritius can certainly be propelled into the league of developed nations.
The Government should take steps to attract Mauritians living abroad to come back and work here. Obviously, incentives should be offered to them to make it worthwhile.
We had this problem in India many years ago but now the trend has reversed and we find more and more Indians living abroad wanting to come home. I am sure over a period of time there will be a similar situation in Mauritius.
Finally I would like to say that, according to me, those who live the country would definitely like to come back some day. Your home country is your country after all. I am sure they would think this way. Even I would like to go back to India one day or another as it is my country!?
