Migration of Human Capital in Today’s Society: Understanding Challenges and Embracing Opportunities

James Tsaaior, PhD Professor of Media and Cultural Studies

In this groundbreaking and inspiring book, Edward Dzerinyuy Bello masterfully navigates the landscape of migration and human capital in today’s global dispensation and implicates the challenges and opportunities concomitant with this phenomenon. Drawing from the corpus of his personal experience as a Cameroonian immigrant in Germany, Bello demonstrates in this book how the migration of human capital can impact the development and stability of modern society.

In a clear perspective and concise idiom, the author identifies the paramount need for understanding the challenges and embracing the opportunities thrown up by the migration of human capital.

These include financial capital which is money. It refers to economic resources essential for business operations, and quantified in monetary terms. Financial capital can be sourced through profits, loans, bonds, corporate stock, and partnerships.

There is Economic Capital which is the monetary requirement for a company's stability, mitigating risks like operational, credit, legal, and market risks.

Constructed or Manufactured Capital refers to material objects, infrastructure, and processes enhancing efficiency and reducing resource usage. These may include physical infrastructure like buildings, transportation, and technology.

Human Capital is the collective skills, knowledge, and potential of individuals contributing to economic activity and societal development in a given society. Examples of human capital can be education, training, creativity, innovation and physical health.

There is also Social Capital which involves the resources acquired through the building of interpersonal relationships and social networks, contributing to collective efforts. Social capital also expresses itself in bonding within specific groups and bridging which connects diverse groups and interests.

Intellectual Capital concerns information, knowledge, and expertise developed through education and experience which are crucial for fostering critical thinking and innovation.

Cultural Capital refers to material goods, experiences, and social assets acquired throughout life, often linked to a specific social environment and economic status. These include cultural goods like artifacts, histories, languages, festivals and folklore.

Experiential Capital is the knowledge acquired through firsthand experiences like project work, idea exploration, and skill acquisition, fostering personal and communal growth.

Natural Capital is the earth's natural resources essential for human survival and economic activities and development and may include minerals, plants, soil, animals.

The author submits that “these diverse forms of capital collectively contribute to the sustainable growth and prosperity of organizations and societies, cultivating a comprehensive and thriving societal landscape”.

The book is divided into two sections: Sections A and B. Section A begins with an Introduction which gives an overview of the book and thereafter delves into Human Capital in Economics, Migration and Human Capital Dynamics. Section B focuses on Strengthening Migration Bonds with emphasis on Human Capital Migration and Growth through Successful Integration. The Conclusion is a summation of the book which is a reflection on Migration of Human Capital in Society.

In all this is an important scholarly book which expands the frontiers of research on migration and human capital development in today’s increasingly globalised society. It insightfully negotiates the challenges migration poses in human capital and provides clear perspectives on how to embrace the opportunities. The author has executed this project with salutary fluency and proficiency such that there are hardly any limitations or flaws in his arguments, organization, and orthography. The sources are also relevant in a scholarly sense and up-to-date.

In a clear and yet sophisticated language, the author takes readers on a fascinating odyssey into migration, human capital and the dynamics that define and stake this topical issue. The important dimension of this book is that the author builds its argument essentially from the rich stock of his personal experiences as an African migrant who has the stellar competences and skills of starting and running a business. This is the unique strength of the book and I recommend it to all readers as an indispensable research and scholarly effort worthy of commendation.

Human capital is a very crucial phenomenon in contemporary discussions around economic corridors. Edward Dzerinyuy Bello in Migration of Human Capital in Today’s Society: Understanding Challenges and Embracing Opportunities considers human capital as encompassing the knowledge, skills, competences, and health people have that make them contribute better to socio-economic progress. Human capital is assured by a redirection of resources towards education, training, and healthcare to optimize economic productivity. Migration of human capital therefore has to do with the movement of persons with such abilities from one place to another. Bello opines that such migration is a loss to the country where the people are migrating from, and a gain to the country where they are migrating to. He bemoans the negative consequences in the country of origin that arise from a fragmentation of familial structures, and depletion of intellectual resources as a result of brain drain. This forcefully necessitates nuanced policy considerations to tackle the plethora of challenges that arise from both micro and macro migration of human capital.

But, human capital must first of all “BE” before it can migrate. Hence, this book is very relevant in contemporary society where many students tend to focus only on
