ABSTRACT

In the context of university-diploma drain from Latvia, this article analyzes how labor market integration and attachment to the host and home countries of highly skilled Latvian emigrants in Europe shape their intentions to stay abroad or return to Latvia. The study is based on a quantitative analysis of survey data (n = 820). The results of binary logistic regression analyzes reveal that close ties with Latvia have a significant positive effect on return intentions, and that the return intention of economically-active highly skilled Latvian migrants is mostly a non-economic phenomenon.

在欧盟的高技能拉脱维亚人中留下或返回的意图：谁更有可能返回？

摘要

在拉脱维亚大学文凭流失的背景下，本文分析了劳动力市场整合以及欧洲高技能拉脱维亚移民对东道国和母国的依恋如何影响他们留在国外或返回拉脱维亚的意图。该研究基于对调查数据（n = 820）的定量分析。二元逻辑回归分析结果表明，与拉脱维亚的密切联系对返回意愿有显着的正向影响，经济活跃的高技能拉脱维亚移民的返回意愿大多是非经济现象。
