Interesting. Been thinking about CHWs lately and how they are quite cosy effective for skilled HWF in the diaspora looking to offset social losses due to their migration. Will read this again. Thanks!
Thank you @danielyu for your argument on Africa's potential to scale development by value added exports.
I just have a question about the Africa Jobs Fund's cost effectiveness model. Does it input losses to source countries as a result of skilled labour migration? I think this is very important if we are considering health worker migration from an extrawelfarist perspective.
Which then brings me to @Charles Kenny article on emigration. Thank you for mentioning the safeguards needed to prevent losses incurred by source countries. I fear at the moment, a lot of African countries do not have these safeguards in place and as such, social losses could be greater than individual gains.
Then I have a few reservations on the benefits you described which I feel is too long to write here. I did take my time to talk about them in my Substack commentary here: https://zubecommentary.substack.com/p/eze-jakpas-abroad
In this case perhaps RCT isn't the gold standard? What about qualitative evidence?
You have made my thoughts on Nan's Substack very clear. Will follow up on all the references your cited. Thank you!
