“…The eff ect of the core variable is signifi cant and robust across all six scenarios (Table 2, These results, which indicate that students inclined more to place a great emphasis on the recognition of their personal value are more likely to migrate, validate the fi rst hypothesis, H1. These fi ndings are consistent with the ones from another study focused on a diff erent target population represented by students in Theology (Plopeanu et al, 2018).…”

In the context of increasing concerns about the demographic decline of Europe and the lack of sustainable policies to fight against it, the main purpose of this study is to estimate the migration intention of the Romanian students in economics and business administration and the influence of the determinant factors. Data are collected from a questionnaire survey applied to a sample of 1,155 students at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi. We have applied a multinomial logistic regression model with both simple effects and interactions. The results have brought strong arguments proving the importance of personal value recognition, beliefs and attitudes, family background, as well as interactions between genders, attitude towards competition and active search for a job or between parental severity and migration legacy, as determinant factors of the students' intention to migrate to Western Europe. These results may serve regional, national and even community-based sustainable development policies for the conservation of human resources and mostly of higher-educated individuals.

“…Yes/No/I do not know", from which we retained (variable clear_eq_migrWEur_pers_val_recog) only the clear conviction regarding this equivalence ("Yes" coded as 1, "No" and "I do not know" as 0). This variable's overwhelming influence, explainable by admitting the holistic nature of the corresponding question above, is also proven by a study on the migration enablers of Romanian students in theology [66] based on four hundred distinct responses. This strong influence is in line with an explanation offered by neoclassical macroeconomics, and mentioned in the review of Massey et al (1993), by successfully confirming the differences between the migration patterns of skilled workers compared to those of unqualified ones [67].…”

Nowadays, when there is much concern about the demographic decline of Europe and the stringent need for public policies that support intelligent, sustainable, and inclusive growth in times of population ageing, this study aims to validate several hypotheses regarding the post-graduation migration intentions of students in economics. To analyse these intentions in the context of Romanian yearly increases of out-migration flows to Western countries, the answers to the questionnaire used for this study were obtained from three important Romanian universities. Using georeferencing, neural networks-based data mining, and two types of regression analysis, the results represent a relevant contribution to the limited body of literature. They empirically show that motivations and attitudes towards a meritocratic environment for professional advancement, and individual freedom are positive key factors for students’ migration intentions after graduation. In addition, the paper emphasises the secondary role of religiosity and intergenerational transfer of parental migration experience. It also finds that, although the income level has some influence on these intentions, its role is far less important than the one emphasised in the specific literature, which leads us to the conclusion that non-economic motivations matter more than the economic ones for the potential decision to migrate after graduation.

“…Moreover, we have previously conducted two research studies focused on migration intentions among Romanian students. The first one analyzes the migration enablers of students in theology [69] based on 400 distinct responses from two universities from Iasi and Sibiu. The corresponding results confirmed that the personal value recognition is also their main trigger for migration intentions.…”

Based on a survey among students in economics at universities from the Romanian region of Moldova (RoMold) and Republic of Moldova (ReMold), this study explores the influence of familial, background, and individual characteristics on the migration intentions abroad. Both regional models built after using data mining tools and binary logistic regression analysis show a powerful emphasis on our own value recognition, while the other influences indicate clear asymmetric patterns in terms of migration intentions. For RoMold, there is a low level of interpersonal trust, a strong accent on individual liberty and favoritism, a low respect for traditions, and the belief that Orthodoxy could be a migration cause. The paternal occupation and the maternal religiosity matter for their migration plans. For ReMold, the parental migration experience, a low level of parents’ education attainment, and a powerful internal locus of control are considered the main triggers for migrating abroad. For both particular regions, a highly interactive distribution map and two corresponding risk-prediction nomograms provide basic support for replication, fast visual insight, and consistent support for interpretations directly in probabilistic terms. We intend to apply an inductive approach in order to extend the analysis to different types of respondents and geographic areas.
