Abstract

The migration of elites has become a major challenge worldwide. In Iran, in recent years, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of immigrants. Migration often occurs in different ways including educational migration within geographical borders, field migration, experts avoiding professional activities, and forced or semi-forced migration. Due to the fact that each form of migration can lead to diverse problems, it is imperative to pay attention to the nature and complications of each type of migration in the discussion of human resources management.
