It will, in a few fields such as stem cell research. Do some research.Yeah, why isn't America addressing this problem! This is an outrage!Lots of professors don't get tenure in lots of universities for lots of reasons. For all anyone knows, the wives may have been part of the reason - 35 years ago, things in US academia at least were very different.
I know a professor who didn't get tenure at Cornell only because his wife, in addition to doing all the 'proper' genteel volunteer work, chose to work as a chef at an organic restaurant in town. If she'd worked in a 'proper' toney boutique, that might have been acceptable.
We don't know the whole story and likely never will......
I haven't heard of the US having a "brain drain" - quote the opposite in fact.
