“…Zhang, Zhang, & Guo, 2021), cumulative prospect theory (Ebrahimigharehbaghi, Qian, de Vries, & Visscher, 2022), and other relevant theories (Guo, Li, & Wang, 2018;Liang, Tao, Hong, & Shen, 2019). Among the various theoretical frameworks applied to the study of resident behavior, the theory of planned behavior is one of the most commonly used (Jin, Li, Jansen, Boumeester, & Boelhouwer, 2022;Li, Huang, Liu, Shrestha, & Xinyue, 2022). This theory hypothesizes that behavior is determined by three key factors: attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (Bosnjak, Ajzen, & Schmidt, 2020).…”

“…In them, young people see more opportunities for employment, the realization of their dreams, and expect higher wages. Chi Jin and colleagues [26] come to this conclusion by collecting data involving 1242 young people across China. Sigal Kaplan, Luise Grünwald and Georg Hirte [27] in a number of external factors highlight the influence of social networks on interregional migration intentions of knowledge workers, which in its significance competes with the usual way of life.…”

The study is devoted to comparing the career orientations of schoolchildren (N=461) from the Omsk region, who have different levels of giftedness, and the search for relationships between their career orientations and migration attitudes. The method of determining career orientations by E. Schein and the scale of migratory attitudes of the individual S.A. Kuznetsova were used. Groups of schoolchildren with reduced and increased educational activity, gifted in one or more areas, were identified. It was found that schoolchildren with reduced educational activity significantly higher than in more active groups developed orientations towards professionalism, autonomy in work, stability of place of residence and work, and the desire to integrate different aspects of life. Migration attitudes of all respondents are expressed at the average level and are negatively related to the orientation towards the stability of the place of residence. The desire to migrate among gifted students has a positive correlation with an orientation towards autonomy in work, among schoolchildren with increased educational activity, in addition, there is a connection with career orientations for managing people and entrepreneurship.

“…A ‘talent war’ was initiated in 2017, and more than 100 cities were involved. This talent war gradually spread to almost every major city with programmes to attract highly educated individuals (Jin et al, 2022; Shen & Li, 2022). One of the major differences between highly educated and rural migrants in cities is that the former is welcomed to settle, become permanent residents, and obtain local hukou, while the latter experience discrimination and obtain local hukou only with difficulty (Liu & Xu, 2017).…”

Our study explores the income of highly educated migrants in China. Based on the 2014 China Labor‐force Dynamics Survey (CLDS), we conducted Blinder‐Oaxaca decomposition of income among highly educated migrants. we found that highly educated migrants, with or without local hukou, have higher income than highly educated local‐born workers. We also found that highly educated migrants without local hukou have higher average income than those with local hukou. Given that the average income is high and knowing a foreign language is highly rewarded in the eastern region and that highly educated migrants without local hukou are clustered in the eastern region, a large percentage of these highly educated migrants know a foreign language and their average income is higher than that of other two groups. Our study demonstrates that not having local hukou, though it brings institutional constraints, does not necessarily lead to lower economic attainment in comparison to having local hukou. If a group has more human capital resources and is sought‐after by the labour market, its members have the luxury of moving to cities where they can maximize their income.
