2. Brain Drain in the Philippines peaked in 2016-2017 having
an average of 6.50 index points. In 2018-2021, there was a
constant drop, this may be due to covid 19. The world average
Brain drain based on 173 countries is 5.25 index points in 2021.
Even if there was a drop of average in 2018-2021, The average
point in the Philippines which is 5.40, is still higher than the
World Average Brain Drain in 2021 (Yap, 2021).
