This paper examines some of the policy proposals put forth to address the detrimental effects the emigration of skilled workers has had on development in their country of origin. It then proposes a new policy tool "Global Skill Partnerships" to regulate skilled migration in a way that benefits origin countries, destination countries, and the migrants themselves. The author then describes how such an agreement might work in one profession (nursing) and one region (North Africa).
