The country is taking steps to make room for the next generation of professionals — but needs investment and stability in its relationship with the United States to capitalize on opportunity
They’ve had decades of brain drain because of all the insecurity and corruption. Currently I don’t see that reversing, it’s very ingrained. I hope they find a way of providing better opportunities, demographically it’s a young country so maybe they can make something work for them.
But oof is it gonna be an uphill battle when your government works against you by not supporting education, security, infrastructure.
Yeah, countries should realize that brain drain is much more serious issue than is usually portrayed.
But honestly the issues that lead to brain drain are far beyond what one or a few people in power can fix. It’s usually caused by deep societal issues, things that emerge after little dysfunctions snowball all the way to the large system that is the whole country.
For example, I’ve seen articles like this which in my opinion summarize what is the real issue in Brazilian society. But also one could argue this behavior becomes prevalent because society is already dysfunctional and people normalize the current way of thinking. It’s really a chicken and egg problem to solve when you look at the whole country scale.
Yeah, Mexico needs a lot more than tech investment, they need:
functioning law enforcement - bribing officers is very much a thing pretty much everywhere
safe highways - high robbery is very much a thing, and it’s highly recommended to hire local drivers who know which roads are safer
crush the cartels
High tech investment needs law and order, and that’s not consistent in Mexico. Fix that and maybe people will stop fleeing the country. Education is important too, but the country first needs to be a place foreigners feel comfortable relocating to, because that will be necessary to set up shop.
I wanted to remind that Mexican cartels grew this powerful by using the war on drug of the USA to target only Colombian cartels, so the USA are partly responsible for their growth
That’s cool and all, but we (mexicans) had decades to try and fix… Anything at all, but we’ve regressed so much and it accelerated in 6 (almost 7) years that the USA responsibility is moot, we are doing this to ourselves and the plan is to make it even worse.

Maybe they found out how to make drugs or money from chips?
