“…For example, research carried out in north-east England refers to the problem of adapting the educational offer and the labor market to the needs of young people and counteracting the phenomenon of their emigration through the policy of prominence (Henderson, 2005). Migration is a serious problem 275 in Estonia and Romania (Tverdostup & Masso, 2015). In Romania, the biggest issue of youth migration is the outflow of highly educated young people and Italy is the most popular destination for them (Feraru, 2012).…”

This paper analyses the directions and causes of student migration in the information society at economic universities in Poland and Portugal. An international survey was conducted among students born between 1981 and 1995. The research included a group of 121 Polish and 55 Portuguese students. The conclusions of the study confirm the hypothesis that the place of residence/country of origin has a significant effect on the direction of migration. Furthermore, the causes of migration are largely dependent on the gender of the respondents and their professional status.

“…Literature detects a number of other returnee‐specific advantages such as earnings premium (Hazans, 2016; Iara, 2008; Martin & Radu, 2012; Piracha, 2015; Tverdostup & Masso, 2016). On the other hand, positive returns to migration may not always be the case.…”

Research shows that return migrants have a higher propensity to set up an entrepreneurial activity or be self‐employed compared to non‐migrants. We take a multidisciplinary approach and empirically study the case of Latvia as a migration donor country to learn how re‐migrants participate in entrepreneurship back at home. We are interested if return migrants can be seen as a vehicle for entrepreneurship development and if it is worth looking at them as agents of business growth and innovation. Not only we measure the fact of being entrepreneurial but also explore sources that contribute to the higher propensity, attitudes to creating own business venture, level of ambitions and population sentiment towards entrepreneurs. Based on a nationally representative adult population survey of 8000 observations, we find that early‐stage entrepreneurial activity, established business ownership as well as intrapreneurship for return migrants exceed that of the non‐migrant population. The self‐perceived capabilities to start business is higher for those who have lived abroad, and fear of failure is lower. Return migrants also have better business networks and higher growth and export ambitions. Latvian return migrant entrepreneurship is not necessity driven but rather motivated by opportunities. Migration experience, length of stay aboard and capital accumulated abroad are found to be significant predictors of probability to become entrepreneur when controlled for socioeconomic and personal factors.

“…Występuje m.in. w północno--wschodniej Anglii, gdzie opracowano nawet politykę promłodzieżową, aby przeciwdziałać zjawisku emigracji (Henderson, 2005) oraz w Estonii (Tverdostup, Masso, 2015). Podobnie w Rumunii istotną kwestią stał się odpływ wysoko wykształconych ludzi młodych, głównie do Włoch (Feraru, 2012).…”

Subject and purpose of work Determining the directions of foreign migration of students of management of the University of Warmia and Mazury (UWM) in Olsztyn and the factors encouraging young people to emigrate. Materials and methods A diagnostic survey method was used. This paper presents part of the results of a wider survey of young people conducted in early 2021. Participation in the study was anonymous and voluntary. A non-probabilistic sampling technique known as convenience sampling was used. The survey covered the entire population of management students at UWM in Olsztyn. 93 questionnaires were returned. Correspondence analysis was used to verify the hypotheses. Results Economic factors proved to be the most important factors for respondents: higher wages, greater job and promotion opportunities abroad. Conclusions Young people show a high tendency to migrate abroad, with Germany and the UK being the main destinations. They see foreign migration as a way to improve their life situation. In order to keep them on the domestic labour market, competition regarding wages should be increased and flexible work should be allowed.
