Romanians Abroad: A Snapshot of Highly Skilled Migration
Ferro, Anna
Higher Education in Europe, v29 n3 p381-392 Oct 2004
This paper is about the experience of labour migration among skilled Romanians, mainly Information Technology workers and highly qualified researchers. It is based on a questionnaire survey where, among other elements, the researcher investigated the push-pull aspects of qualified migration and the strategies of labour migration. This paper considers the perspective and personal experience of 'brain' protagonists, the effective reasons of their migration and their future perspectives. Some significant elements refer to the importance of electronic 'transnationalism', the relatively limited and unlikely possible return of 'brains' and a denunciation of immigration barriers and difficulties. The study is part of the author's PhD Research Project, 'International Patterns of Migration: The Recruitment Strategies of Firms and the Aspirations and Migratory Projects of Highly Skilled Workers'.
