“…Wang et al, 2019), while better education in host country/region is the main pull factor to attract young talent to the host country/region (Pan, 2015). Mulitiple studies establised a direct and positive correlation between braindrain migration, education, and transfer of technology (Shafqat & Xia, 2019;Waite & Smith, 2017). In fact, braindrain migration becomes brain gain for home countries when the well-educated and skilled human capital are back to their home countries with international exposure and expertise (Brzozowski, 2008).…”

“…The logistic regression model has the ability to solve the biasness problems that could possibly occur in simple regression and linear probability models. Logistic regressions are flexible with explanatory variables and give meaningful interpretation of the results (Shafqat & Xia, 2019). Hence, we used the logistic regression model in this study.…”

The increasing pace of globalization and competition for highly skilled professionals have accelerated the international mobility across national boundaries for knowledge exchange and economic reasons. The purpose of this study was to examine the current trend and determinants of migration intentions in China. For this purpose, we carried out a survey in China from 2021 respondents by using a probability sampling technique. For empirical estimation, we employed the logistic regression estimation technique to compute and evaluate the data. In the findings of this study, several push-and-pull factors have been identified for both inflow and outflow of skilled human capital in China. The findings of this study derived that high wages outside China and low wages within China are considered as the top reasons to leave China. In addition, more opportunities and a better lifestyle in the host countries are the key factors to push skilled human capital from China. The results also indicate that better education in the host countries has a positive correlation with migration intentions in China. Therefore, it can be argued that education, wages, more opportunities and better lifestyle are the significant push factors that determine why highly educated people emigrate from China.

Globalization has led to significant changes in economies and societies worldwide, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region where labor migration drives economic growth. Migrant workers, valued across various sectors, play a key role in regional development by sending remittances that support families’ essential needs and entrepreneurial endeavors. Countries have simplified immigration procedures and enacted protective measures to attract and retain foreign labor, but challenges such as job displacement and balancing the rights of migrants with those of domestic workers persist. Research on the impact of labor migration on economic development in the Asia-Pacific region is crucial in addressing these complexities. Therefore, this article will focus on elucidating the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of labor migration while examining the correlation between labor migration and economic development in the countries within the Asia-Pacific region. The main purpose of the study is to elucidate the general migration context of the Asia-Pacific region and clarify it by conducting a deeper analysis of some representative countries in the region. Additionally, the study aims to elucidate the relationship between labor migration and economic development in this area. The results reveal that labor migration has a positive impact on economic growth through remittances.

BACKGROUND: In the global competition for talent, the highly skilled and professional workers are increasingly being recognized as key drivers for innovation and economic prosperity. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to investigate the wave and determinants of the brain-drain migration of skilled human capital from China. METHODS: We carried out a survey across a few rural and urban areas in China with 2,077 respondents by using a probability sampling technique. For empirical estimation, we employed the logistic regression estimation technique to compute and evaluate the data. RESULTS:The findings of this study suggest that high wages outside China and low wages within China is the top reason to move out of China. Additionally, more opportunities and better lifestyle away from China are key factors to push skilled human capital from China to host country. The findings of our study also indicate that better education abroad has a positive correlation with the brain-drain migration intention in China. CONCLUSIONS:The empirical results of the survey should be a high concern for the policy makers of China. Most survey respondents were young, well-educated and highly skilled, they identified several critical reasons that compel them to migrate from China.
