  Human capital is one of the main factors of growth and development of countries, and the lack of this capital in the developing countries delays the process of growth and development. Unfortunately, the Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the countries that continually has faced with brain drain phenomenon. According to the statistics provided by the United Nations, among 72 developing countries in the world, Iran is ranked third in Brain Drain among "developing" countries, considering its population. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of social factors on the brain drain phenomenon. Social factors based on three main variables including lifestyle, social class and social structure are analyzed. The origin and destination attractions are also studied. The main theory used in this study is Lee Everett's theory. This research is functional, and the method of it is survey method. The main tool of data collection was a questionnaire. The statistical population is separated into two groups. The first group is among the doctoral and master's degree of technical students who migrate to United State of America to work or study (at Minnesota University) and the second group is among the students of three universities: University of Tehran, Amirkabir University, Sharif University of Technology. For data analysis, descriptive statisticand regression and for Hypotheses Test, logistic regression is used.
