The bar chart shows the percentage of weekly income which was paid for eight categories by families in one country in two years: 1968 and 2018

Overall, the highest families’ spending in 1968 went on food while the top belonged to expenditure for leisure in 2018. Among these categories, food, fuel and power, clothing and footware, and personal goods showed a downward trend while housing, transport and leisure experienced a rise, and the remaining category (household goods) stayed static.

In 1968, 35% of the wages of families in this area was allocated for food. Spending on housing, clothing and footware was equal to 10% each, and the figures for leisure, transport, personal goods and household goods were relatively the same (around 8%). In contrast, only a minority of weekly income was used for fuel and power, with around 3%.

After half a century, spending patterns diverged more widely. Families tripled their spending on leisure to about 23%, which was highest. Also, they spent larger proportions of income gained a week for transport and housing, at approximately 14% and 18% respectively. Reversely, food’s figure halved, compared with a minimal drop in expenditures on fuel and power, clothing and footware, and personal goods, of 5% or under. Household goods was the only expense to remain constant at 7%

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish.

Introduction:

• It is believed that well-educated workers should be obliged to work in the nation where they are trained while others hold an opinion that there should be freedom for them to choose their workplace. This essay will elaborate on these views and show/ express my agreement with the latter view.

BD1: Reasons for view 1

There are some reasons why well-educated workers should be obliged to work in the nation where they are trained

• better for professionals

Explain: syllabus, lesson content is usually tailored based on circumstances, situations in their own countries → familiar with working environment, practices in the nation they study → adapt to/ acclimatize to working conditions faster/ at ease

• owe a debt of money & gratitude → pay back / contribute the skills and knowledge to better that nation

Eg: wish to study about hospitality in Switzerland but give up this dream if be forced to stay for year to work → homesickness, not desire to leave the fatherland permanently

Step 4: Write an essay

A common debate is whether specialists trained domestically in vocations including medicine and engineering are obliged to take on employment in their homeland or should have the discretion to choose an overseas role. This essay will first elaborate on the merits of each assessment, before explaining why I agree with the latter.

Supporters of in-demand professions having to work where their education was provided have several justifications. The first is that tertiary education is often subsidized by taxpayers. The cost of educating students is prohibitive, so if they do not receive government funding, only the wealthy will be able to graduate, limiting the opportunities for potentially brilliant talent. Therefore, alumni owe a duty to repay the society that assisted them. Furthermore, these professionals are likely to be more familiar with the unwritten cultural norms of the country, so can often achieve better outcomes for citizens.

Nevertheless, many believe it must be a professional’s choice as to their employment’s location. The most important consideration is they devote years of their lives to study, neglecting relationships and accruing debt. Allowing them to move overseas for higher income or a better lifestyle should be a reward for that sacrifice. For example, Indian doctors often move to Western nations because not only are the salaries significantly higher, but the natural environment is healthier for their families. In addition, it could be argued that all taxpayers receive benefits of some form or another and likewise have an obligation to their country, creating a potential roadblock to any migration.

To conclude, I believe both sides contain valid reasoning. However, in my opinion, if a country provides all citizens equal opportunities to be educated then there is no reason to limit anyone from freely making decisions about their career location. Moreover, I argue that migrants often contribute significantly to their homeland through financial remittances. Therefore, I suggest governments focus on creating the economic conditions that encourage in-demand professions to seek jobs locally.
