Causes and consequences of youth emigration in selected Western Balkan countries

Topalović, Ana

The thesis focuses on identifying the factors that influence emigration from the Western Balkan countries, especially young and educated people. Based on a literature review, several indicators of the economic, political and educational systems were selected as potential causes of the high emigration rate from the region. A comparison of the Western Balkan countries with the EU Member States in the main selected indicators was made, and using cluster analysis it was shown that the Western Balkan countries on average achieve the lowest net migration rates, but also the worst results in almost all selected indicators. Regression analysis showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between emigration indicators and indicators of economic, political and educational systems, in the sense that worse performance in these areas is accompanied by higher emigration rates. It was also shown that people from Western Balkan countries are more likely to move to more developed countries, but also to countries within the Balkan Peninsula region itself. Common language, culture or geographical proximity also seem to play an important role in this case.
