The results show that in majority countries the link between skilled emigration and tertiary education attainment depends on the country... (More)
Migration of highly skilled individuals or brain drain is an integral part of the globalization. Education is a crucial determinant of human capital accumulation in the country and therefore, a source of economic growth. The aim of this paper is to assess migration tendency as a function of educational level for the Eastern European region. While most previous studies have focused on the rural migration within one country, I look at the migrants from ten countries in Eastern Europe. The interaction between education and migration for Eastern European countries remains unexplored in the literature. The results show that in majority countries the link between skilled emigration and tertiary education attainment depends on the country specific characteristics. Of particular interest were the results that for majority countries increase in educational attainment is not connected to the increase of highly skilled emigrants. Thus, brain is not determined by the global context of Eastern European countries, but by a set of peculiar characteristics of every country. Hence, geographic area doesn’t have similar schemes of skilled migration for separate Eastern European countries. (Less)
