“…In view of this, the variables to be observed in the research model were selected, and the relationships were hypothesized, implying enhancement of higher education according to students’ perceptions. The review included studies and reports observing, likewise, brain drain issues in the Western Balkan (Dragan & Milosavljevic, 2018; WFD, 2019).

“…For several years, Balkan countries have been experiencing a vast brain drain of young individuals building their careers abroad (Dragan & Milosavljevic, 2018).

Following the relevant literature on higher education services, the objective of this study explores how the higher education perceived value outlines students’ satisfaction with the service and their migration intentions. Data from1,150 university students in Macedonia was collected and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that functional, emotional, conditional and image value perceived about the degree are significant incitements of overall satisfaction, while social influence by reference groups minimizes satisfaction. In turn, students’ satisfaction decreases their intentions to leave the country. Moreover, the year of study acts as a moderator by delivering higher satisfaction, hence reducing brain drain intentions, for students in higher courses. The conclusions of this research emphasize the need for universities to increase appreciation of the higher education system’s quality, efficiency, and reputation. Since the beginning of their studies, students should be able to recognize and experience their education as beneficial for their professional future in the country, reducing in this way one of the major concerns in Western Balkans, the brain drain intentions.

“…The effective functioning of any health sector is highly dependent on the availability of skilled health professionals, losing these professionals will ultimately weaken the socio economic development of its country; hence the need to find ways of limiting their migration (Donoso & Mancilla, 2017;Okeja, 2017;Mlambo & Adetiba, 2017). While dealing with this requires a carefully tailored strategy, temporary restriction on the emigration of health workers has been a major recommendation (Ilić & Milosavljević, 2017;Cole, 2017;Donoso & Mancilla, 2017;Yuksekdag, 2018). Policy recommendations have also been made, like the global code of practice on the international recruitment of health personnel issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010, that directs all member states to respect the rights and needs of source countries in international migration of health personnel in order to mitigate the negative effects of health personnel migration on the health systems of developing countries; but there is little evidence that the implementation of the code has been successful or effective (Brouillette et al, 2017;Yeates, & Pillinger, 2018;Shaffer et al, 2018).…”

This study critically reviewed the use of financial incentives in solving health professionals’ brain drain, with the view to ascertain its effectiveness. The Systematic Assessment Quantitative Technique (SQAT) developed by Catherine Pickering and Jason Antony Byrne, was used to identify and review 21 relevant peer-reviewed journal articles that investigated six forms of financial incentives in solving health professionals’ brain drain. Evidence from 66.67% of the studies showed that financial incentives are effective in solving health professionals’ brain drain through the use of improved remuneration, funded training, return subsidy and research grant. The remaining part of the studies (33.33%) did not find the use of financial health aid and bonding effective. This study recognized that financial incentives do not fully solve healthcare brain drain and other non-financial measures need to be implemented; future research work should therefore integrate other measures with financial incentives in order to gain additional insight on solving healthcare brain drain. The use of limited but high-quality academic databases means that some articles were not considered for review.
