Stepping Out of the Brain Drain is an important contribution to the intensifying debate about highly skilled migration from developing to developed countries. Addressing the issue from the perspective of Catholic social thought, the authors demonstrate that both the economic and ethical rationales for the teaching's opposition to 'brain drain' have been undermined in recent years and show how the adoption of a less critical policy could provide enhanced opportunities for poor countries to accelerate their economic development.

Stepping Out of the Brain Drain is important not only because it offers a timely summary of the Catholic teaching on migration and a persuasive challenge to one aspect of that teaching, but also because it offers a model for how lay persons can effectively help the social teaching remain sensitive to the 'signs of the times' as events unfold. The book abundantly evidences its authors' great respect for Catholic social teaching, as well as their great understanding of it and the context in which existing policy developed.
