Europe and Developing Countries in the Globalized Information Economy: Employment and Distance Education: UNU/INTECH Studies in New Technology and Development

Maria Ines Bastos

For the developing world, there is the brightest prospect of new jobs and novel means of education. However, how secure will these new jobs be? Will a more highly educated work force lead to a brain drain?
