People are talking, nations meeting and off cause musicians composing - about Malawians going and staying abroad. Questions are: Is it good or bad to stay abroad? For who? Should it be encouraged? ...... Please respond to a survey I am doing for my thesis by clicking on the link (Take Survey) from the main page of this website: malawiana.net. And lets talk!!!
I Dont think its good for Malawi for people to stay abroad. The question now becomes is it good for the people to go back home when they have limited opportunities.... i guess it can all be summarised in one .. well ... two words: Risk and Sacrifice. Take a risk .. you might make it back home .... if you dont then you have sacrificed ... your future earnings. Notice i have used the word earnings .... not would be disposable income. The whole question becomes even more complicated when you consider that you could be making $50k a year but you have to spend most of that just to sustain your self... the disposable income could turn out to be the same to what you would make back home...maybe. Anyhoo... got to go!!
