Immigration and Demographic Shifts · US History

The term 'Brain Drain' in modern immigration discussions often refers to:

  1. The persistent lack of educational resources found in American inner cities
  2. The loss of highly skilled professionals from their home countries to the U.S.
  3. A perceived decrease in national IQ scores linked to increased technology use
  4. The large-scale retirement of the 'Baby Boomer' generation from the workforce
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The loss of highly skilled professionals from their home countries to the U.S.

U.S. immigration policy since 1965 has often prioritized highly skilled workers in fields like medicine and engineering. While this benefits the U.S. economy, it can deprive developing nations of their most talented citizens.
