“…Mobility is a basic ingredient of the European political and economic unification process for the creation of a unique European identity. In addition to political and sociological reasons favoring mobility, student mobility contributes directly to the process of human capital formation acquired by young people migrating abroad, which in turn may provide tangible economic effects, both in the destination country and country of the origin as stated by Agiomirgianakis (2006), Agiomirgianakis et al (2004), and Agiomirgianakis and Asteriou (2001). The internationalization of higher education promoted by the related provisions and measures taken by the EU is a prominent example of policy in this direction.…”

“…For both variables the normality assumption is not violated (p-value=0.10 and 0.11, respectively). Since normality was ensured, a regression analysis was performed with PERC, in the first case, and RATIO, in the second case, as the dependent variable in order to assess their correlation with the other four independent variables, a methodology used or proposed by many researchers such as Altbach and Teichler (2001), Altbach and Knight (2007), Guruz (2008), Agiomirgianakis (2006), Agiomirgianakis et al (2004), and Agiomirgianakis and Asteriou (2001). Indeed, in the first case, where the dependent variable is the percentage market share of foreign students in the destination countries, it is reasonable to assume that it is significantly correlated with the quality of the tertiary education system.…”

The enhanced internationalization and mobility of European students reflects an undoubtedly important aspect of human capital investment. This paper examines the internationalization of European students in tertiary education and the factors that determine the probability of a student moving to a European country other than their own. The main goals of the Bologna Process and a framework of definitions of student mobility are presented, as well as factors that may motivate and hamper this process. A linear regression model of the market shares of intra-European students and a linear regression model of the ratios of foreign incoming/outgoing students of European countries are estimated. Finally, a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm is applied in order to explain the reasoning behind the decisions of students for long-term study abroad. The paper suggests that policy measures towards increasing student mobility flows will extend economic integration of the countries involved via human capital development and are most likely to increase present and future economic flows in a tangible way.

“…Migration, in general, stems from inequalities and disparities (Black et al, 2005;Agiomirgianakis, 2006;Babović, 2006;Spencer, 2011;Bailey & Yeoh, 2014). Because the world abounds in all kinds of inequalities, (in terms of economic, political, and social opportunities), migration has become increasingly transformative, be it voluntary or not.…”

Socijalne usluge za migrante – slučaj Srbije

2018

U radu se analiziraju globalni migracijski trendovi te kako se oni odražavaju na socijalne usluge u Srbiji. Ta je država već neko vrijeme tranzitno mjesto za migrante s Bliskog istoka i iz sjeverne Afrike (MENA) na putu za Europsku uniju. S obzirom na njihov kratkotrajni boravak u Srbiji, tako su organizirane i socijalne usluge. I javni i civilni sektor aktivno se uključio u pružanje podrške na državnoj i lokalnoj razini. Javni se sektor bavi registracijom, smještajem i premještajem migranata te pružanjem socijalne podrške, posebice žrtvama nasilja i maloljetnicima, a isplaćuje i novčanu socijalnu pomoć migrantima koji za to ispunjavaju uvjete. Civilni sektor pruža hitnu i humanitarnu pomoć, liječničku pomoć, pravnu podršku i zastupanje, psihosocijalnu podršku, usluge zaštite djece te edukacijsku podršku, jačajući time kapacitete sustava socijalne skrbi. Uz mnoge pozitivne značajke, socijalne usluge u ta dva sektora također se bore s izazovima na mikro razini. Ti su izazovi prepoznati u okviru sadašnjih i očekivanih nedostataka socijalnih usluga za migrante te se izdvaja potreba za većim smještajnim kapacitetima, većim brojem profesionalnog osoblja na terenu, većom podrškom kada je riječ o integraciji djece u obrazovni sustav i slično. Suradnja između dvaju sektora izazov je na mezo razini, iako je, općenito uzevši, suradnja razmjerno dobra. Ipak, nacionalna politika podrške i financijske mjere mogle bi je dodatno ojačati. Konačno, na makro razini izazov predstavlja slabljenje sustava socijalne države i njegove temeljne promjene s obzirom na to da je riječ o širem okviru unutar kojega socijalne usluge djeluju.
