“…They conceptualized this as a form of ‘lifestyle migration’ as the result of a search for ‘self-fulfillment’ [12,13]. Studies on migrants in Middle Eastern and North Africa countries have found that young people from non-wealthy backgrounds and unemployed are more likely to emigrate, and self-select along the cultural traits of religiosity and gender-egalitarian [14,15].…”

Chinese economic development has led to a significant rise in internal migration over the last 20 years, including large numbers of elderly. When elderly Chinese people migrate, they still register their residency to their place of origin and often do not register with the new administrative office at the destination due to the household registration (hukou) system in China. Thus, most of these migrant elderly do not receive full social services, possibly leading to poor subjective well-being. This study aims to qualitatively examine the level of subjective well-being and its determinants among migrants and local elderly in Dongguan City of Guangdong province, one of the most rapid economically developing areas in China. We also present the results of in-depth interviews among 27 elderly, 15 elderly migrants and 12 local elderly living in Dongguan. The results reveal that the overall subjective well-being of the two groups were good. Most migrants believed their well-being had remained stable or even improved over time due to family reunion and a better physical environment. Elderly’s most valuable needs and the main reason of migration is family reunion; however, inadequacy of social support, including community support and government support (e.g., gift during holiday season, free health examination, healthcare expenditure reimbursement), cannot be neglected for maintaining a good level of well-being. The well-being of migrant elderly can be further enhanced by promoting social services and welfare, recreational activities, and enhancing healthcare reimbursement in their new home.

“…The very extensive research into youth migration out of developing countries includes the cases of Ecuador, Mexico and Peru (Cazzuffi & Fernández, 2018), The Philippines (Manalo IV & van de Fliert, 2013) and Lebanon (Dibeh, Fakih & Marrouch, 2017). What are mostly explored in these cases are the reasons for young people to move out of rural townships, with further consideration given to benefits and costs for both migrants and the rural areas affected, as well as the factors stimulating young people to either return to or stay in a given region.…”

Euroregion Baltic faces strong depopulation pressure, with Poland and Lithuania both experiencing marked population declines, especially in rural areas, in the last 20 years – thanks to immigration abroad. Internal immigration to these countries’ cities is also taking place. While Germany, Sweden, Russia and Denmark have achieved temporary improvements in population indicators, this was thanks to their willingness to take in war refugees – a factor therefore incidental in nature, and not impacting upon an overall trend seeing people move out of rural areas in large numbers. With a view to this challenge being addressed in a more permanent way, research described here assessed whether the introduction of youth-policy measures might allow for better revamping of regional policies so as to persuade young people to remain in their regions. An assumption underpinning this work was that departure from a region reflects deficits in spatial justice, first and foremost an unequal distribution of infrastructure vis-à-vis education, housing, recreation, jobs, and so on. To determine which spheres critically underpin a decision to leave, young people’s preferences for their futures were studied under the CASYPOT project, involving 6 localities in four of the Euroregion’s states. In the event, the research was able to confirm a capacity on the part of youth surveys to deliver information on factors critical to decision-making that can be regarded as of value as regional policies are reorientated to try and ensure a higher level of spatial justice. The survey showed that factors most likely to prompt out-migration among young people relate to insufficient educational services and the inadequacy of the labour market.

“…Youth emigration intentions are also widely analyzed in the international context: (Dako-Gyeke, 2016) explored the migration intentions of Ghanaian youth and conducted a qualitative study to find out what motives motivate young people to emigrate; Roman and Vasilescu (2016) as well aimed to determine the factors that influence the decision of youth to migrate (Romanian youth case), one of the research results was that discrimination and the entrepreneurial behaviour were key factors that influenced the migration intentions of young adults, etc. There are even more authors who analyzed youth emigration, mentioning some of the newest: (Chuvashov, 2014;van Mol, 2016;Dibeh, Fakih, & Marrouch, 2018;Salamonska & Czeranowska, 2018;Traikova, Mollers, & Petrick, 2018;Bastianon, 2019;Bakina, Yaremtchuk, Orlova, & Krasnoperova, 2019;Herz, Diaz-Chorne, Diaz-Catalan, Altissimo, & Carignani, 2019, etc. ).…”

Purpose – the purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between youth entrepreneurship and emigration attitudes by presenting a method for evaluating the link between youth participation in entrepreneurship promotion initiatives, entrepreneurship and emigration attitudes, and also to check its validity. Research methodology – the quantitative test method presented in the article consists of 3 key parts that have their own specifics of evaluation and different methodologies. Findings – the results of the study did not show the correlation between the analyzed elements. Research limitations – although a method test made it possible to verify its suitability, a more representative sample of respondents is needed to provide valid results about the correlation of above mentioned 3 elements. Practical implications – based on the methodology evaluated, everyone familiar with the material will be able to initiate surveys and/or scientifically based researches at a different territorial level on youth entrepreneurship and emigration intentions and to evaluate the extent of the youth involvement in entrepreneurship promotion initiatives and its relationship with the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual. Originality/Value – this study contributed to the existing research on entrepreneurship, supplementing it with new insights on the existence of a relation between entrepreneurship promotion, entrepreneurship, and the tendency to emigrate, which, as far as the authors are aware, was researched neither in Lithuania nor globally
