Summary

Asia's Educational Edge warns that the United States relies heavily on the talent of foreign-born scientists and engineers skilled workers who face increasing, and increasingly favorable, options for employment elsewhere. East Asia's and India's emerging economies are expanding their own higher education capacity in the sciences and their own research and development infrastructure. Accordingly, the United States faces great and growing competition in attracting talented students and professionals from the international community.
