not payment of staff -> migration --- In some - historically not highly understaffed in regional comparison- countries, staff is chronically not being paid, so emigrates to other countries. I saw this with Zimbabwe (mainly nurses) or DRCongo (doctors), where they go to Namibia which until recently had no own educational system, or South Africa. But this has also been true in Europe with Greece in the recent crisis (many came to Switzerland), and Poland where student study German or Scandinavian languages next to medicine and leave as soon as they can.
