I doubt the situation in Spain, Italy and France can compare to the one in Romania, Poland or any of the other eastern members where it's not just the scientist and engineers but also the doctors, nurses teachers etc etc that have much better prospects abroad

You should see South Africa. It is more of a stampede. Everyone I know has either left or is trying. Literally ten out of the twelve friends I have are either in UK, Aus or US.

The ones still in ZA are clammering to get out.

Have heard similar anecdotes from Iranians. Those mostly go to the US, though.

Here in Spain is also quite common that nurses emigrate. Mainly to the UK, although that will surely change after Brexit.

Same in Portugal. We have medical graduates migrating out to the north, and we're importing medical staff from non-EU countries (e.g. South America).
