THE BRAIN DRAIN PHENOMENON IN ROMANIA: CHARACTERISTICS, IMPLICATON
Journal Title: Revista Universitara de Sociologie - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The highly qualified international migration in Romania represents a loss of the human capital, particularly in the critical areas such as education and health, and a threat to its economic development. In this article we provide a quantitative assessment of the size, characteristics and implications of skilled workers’ migration from Romania. This paper is based on a new database of 1,514 Romanian immigrants from 52 countries of destination. Many theoretical and empirical studies addressed to the determinant factors and the migration of skilled labor effects, focus on topics such as investment in education and views of future migration, human capital loss and gain, the magnitude of brain drain, temporary and return migration of skilled workers remittances and their impact on the receiving country, the circulation of knowledge etc. Although the magnitude of the brain drain phenomenon has reached alarming dimensions in some developing countries, the intensity of the brain drain or skilled emigration rate, measured as a percentage of educated highly- remained in the country of origin appears to be stable, due to the better worldwide education level. This paper seeks to identify the characteristics of the Romanian migrants with higher education (as a brain drain measure) on migrants having only primary and secondary education.
