“…For instance, Favell’s (2008) portrait of “Eurostars” is revealing of the complexities of such choices: tertiary-educated young adults in three western European capitals (London, Amsterdam, and Brussels) who mostly migrated in search of a full-fledged recognition of their talent hardly fit into the stylized template of high-earning seekers in an international market. Other case studies resonate with similar accents in different geographic areas (Scott 2006; Krings et al 2013; King et al 2016), or as regards specific nationalities (Koikkalainen 2013). A survey-based study of Western intra-EU migrants found that, on balance, the affective dimension was at the root of a significant number of moves, reflecting an aspiration to reside with a partner of another nationality or to live one’s sexuality outside the social control of the home environment (Santacreu, Albert, and Baldoni 2009).…”

After the Euro-crisis, out-migration from Southern Europe revived, mostly fed by the highly skilled young. Nevertheless, little is known about these new migrants, particularly regarding the determinants and payoffs of their moves. This paper delves into the Italian case, drawing on a large representative sample of the 2011 graduation cohort. Multivariate analyses show that young people from upper class families, foreign citizens, graduates in scientific and internationally-oriented fields and best-performing students are more likely to migrate. Moreover, compared to the 'stayers', graduate migrants enjoy more favorable outcomes in terms of wages, unemployment risks, access to skilled employment, and career satisfaction.

“…When approached holistically, context may be a key, not just for career pathways but also for family life (Habti 2014;Elo 2017). Hence, we highlight the urgent question as to why a considerable number of highly skilled Finns and non-Finns leave Finland (Koikkalainen 2017;Elo 2017), and suggest that this under-researched outflow and a developed country's brain drain require deeper analysis and contextualization.…”

International migration, international mobility, and the concept of self-initiated expatriation (SIE) [1] are intensively debated, ranging from research and politics to families and corporate recruiting strategies. Today, previously inexistent possibilities and contexts enable and advance new processes and patterns of highly skilled mobility, such as self-initiated expatriation. An emerging field of study examines the concept of SIE and boundaryless career building processes from the perspectives of highly skilled people and their human resources. The importance of 'global talents', the demand for skills in globalizing labour markets, and the phenomenon of individualization influence policies on multiple levels and pull highly skilled people in diverse destinations. International opportunities beyond traditional corporate assignments generate various life-and career options for these 'talents'. The aim of the chapter is to foster the conceptualization and contextualization of SIE and its cross-dissemination. It provides an overview of the approaches and debates in international migration and mobility research and focuses on the highly skilled people as embedded individuals. The chapter addresses recent theory discussions, such as the 'mobility turn' and the 'big data' in empirical social research, and it synthesizes a theory landscape on SIE research. It incorporates various disciplinary angles, interlinking different lenses, framings and mechanisms to trigger future research. The contributions broaden the understanding of SIE concept both empirically and theoretically with particular insights from the Finnish context.

“…It must be stressed that emigration motives for young people differ from emigration motives for older age cohorts (that are predominantly economic). Findings of this and earlier research suggest that young people in Latvia are more like other EU15 migrants, who list the search for autonomy, lifestyle reasons and personal relationships as most important motivators for mobility (Koikkalainen, 2017;Zača, Hazans, Bela, 2018).…”

Global pandemic COVID-19 has increased the level of digitalization which allows public and private sector organizations in the world to employ people remotely outside office premises and crossing borders of the world. Remote work is one of the new employment forms caused by the impact of digitalization, which keeps conquering and strengthening the positions on our daily professional lives.It means extended use of different new employment forms, including the digital transition of administration processes and business management, improvement of digital skills and competences, contributing to development of areas of services and products with higher benefit (Breaugh, Farabee, 2012). Research aims to study basic principles and tendencies of remote work organization based on theoretical aspects, draw conclusions and elaborate proposals for improvement of remote work. In order to achieve the goal, the tasks are as follows: 1) provide the explanation of remote work organization; 2) describe secondary data from a conducted survey by Milasi, S., Fernandez -Macias, E., Gonzalez-Vazquez, I. 2020, European Commission; 3) conduct survey about remote work.
