“…Brain drain is permanent or temporary emigration of educated and skilled workers [1]. Although, many researches have shown negative effects of brain drain, recent researches have shown that brain drain may also positively influence on economic development of a country, emigration of skilled workers in terms of human capital formation and production technology is beneficial for all the citizens in developing countries [2].…”

In the last few decades with the emergence of globalization, migration and brain drain became one of the important factors of economic development and played an important role in the globalization process. The usual flow of high skilled and educated individuals is from developing and under developing countries to the more developed countries such as the USA and Europe. Different factors are influencing on brain drain which are divided into push and pull factors. In this research, we examined Iran's brain drain, we created five hypotheses influencing on brain drain such as military service, gender discrimination, unemployment, infrastructures and hope for future,. The results received from survey and interview shows that military service, gender discrimination and hope for future have significant relationship with brain drain but we are unable to certainly illustrate the impact of unemployment rate and infrastructure on brain drain. Methodology used in this research is combination of interview and survey. Six candidates from the USA, Europe, Malaysia and Iran were interviewed, and we distributed 100 questionnaires among Iranian students currently studying in Russian universities in Moscow. 1.

“…Despite the general growth trend in the share of educated economically active people in the countries of the European Union, about 9-10% of them are poor people. 7. Seventh, a correlation-regression analysis of the influence of various factors on the change in the indicator "Percentage of people with higher education" showed that it positively correlates with the indicator "Average level of personnel costs" and has the opposite effect on the indicator "Percentage working poor people."…”

" The authors claim that "the closeness of the relationship between these factors is 65.5%" [7].…”

In this article, we confirm that education is the main social catalyst for people from different social backgrounds. There is a direct connection between the conscious birth of children and the education of people. The higher the level of education, the higher the income of workers, the higher the labor productivity and speed of economic development, the higher the intensity of export. We found that over the past ten years, the population in the fears of the European Union has increased by an average of 3%. Along with the increase in the number and density of the population, the employment of people with higher education (level 5-8) is steadily increasing. It is important to say that in Europe as a whole, the trends we have identified characterize the steady demand of the labor market for raising the level of education of labor resources. Based on Eurostat data, we calculated that the average level of personnel costs in 2017 in the European Union was on average 37.4 thousand euros. The difference between the maximum level of personnel costs in the field of electricity, gas, steam, the highest value of which is noted in Austria and the minimum-in the area of accommodation and catering services in Bulgaria is 30 times. For the same period of time, people receive a very differentiated income and have different motivation to work, as well as different opportunities to recover physical and mental costs. Despite the general growth trend in the share of educated economically active people in the countries of the European Union, about 9-10% of them are poor people. Our correlation-regression analysis showed that the more educated people, the higher the average level of their costs and the fewer people who can be classified as "poor". Thus, education is the main factor in improving the competitiveness of any country and is the main wealth of the people.

“…Our study addresses these knowledge voids by examining how individuals' PILA relates to CI among employees in Iran-a nation that faces many challenges in implementing effective human resource management (HRM) practices, specifically the development of workforce competencies as a result of brain drain, low female participation rates in the workforce and difficulties in attracting and retaining skilled experts (Budhwar and Mellahi, 2018;Ghorbani and Tung, 2007;Haghighi et al, 2019). The study draws on job demandresources (JD-R) theory (Bakker and Demerouti, 2017) to explicate how PILA relates to CI.…”

PurposeThe aim of the study is to extend prior research on career identity formation by investigating whether individuals' participation in informal workplace learning activities positively relates to career identity. The study also examines whether work engagement significantly mediates the participation in informal learning and career identity relationship.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from a survey of 313 individuals in Iran, the study developed and tested measurement and structural models and employed partial least squares structural equation modelling to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe findings suggest that work engagement substantially mediates the positive relationship between participation in informal learning and career identity. Furthermore, the learning potential of the workplace and the propensities of individuals to actively approach situations that provide them with opportunities to learn and seek feedback on their performance have positive although varying relations with levels of participation in informal learning.Practical implicationsHuman resource management and career management specialists must be cognisant of the central role that employee participation in informal learning plays in strengthening their work engagement and career identity. Learning and development specialists should seek to create conditions in the work environment that are favourable to informal learning and work engagement.Originality/valueAlthough the role of formal development programmes in career identity formation is well documented, studies that examine links between participation in informal learning activities and career identity are very rare. Furthermore, there are no known studies that examine the potential mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between participation in informal learning activities and career identity.
