BRAIN GAIN
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 15.
New Zealand’s “brain drain” worked in reverse —more scientists came to work in New Zealand than left to work overseas, the Minister of Science (Mr Taiboys) said in Parliament today. Between 1963 and 1965 21 scientists (eight holding doctorates) resigned from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research to take positions overseas. This was
an average of 2.3 per cent per annum of the professional scientific staff.
During the same period, 27 scientists were recruited (nine holding doctorates), said Mr Taiboys in reply to Mr D. J. Carter (Govt., Raglan). During 1965-66, the D.S.I.R. lost 11 scientists to overseas. Three of them held doctorates. In the same period 16 scientists (seven with doctorates) were recruited from overseas.
