Page "Human resources" Paragraph 12

Another important controversy regards labor mobility and the broader philosophical issue with usage of the phrase " human resources ".

Governments of developing nations often regard developed nations that encourage immigration or " guest workers " as appropriating human capital that is more rightfully part of the developing nation and required to further its economic growth.

Over time, the United Nations have come to more generally support the developing nations ' point of view, and have requested significant offsetting " foreign aid " contributions so that a developing nation losing human capital does not lose the capacity to continue to train new people in trades, professions, and the arts.
