“…Gans (1999) and Massey (1999) set up an important theoretical and methodological framework for migration analysis using motives, personal goals, values, and aspirations of individuals. Koikkalainen and Kyle (2016) reach similar conclusions in their recent empirical research of the cognitive migration that precedes all real physical movement and has a significant influence on the migratory behaviour of individuals. Furthermore, Koikkalainen and Kyle (2016) filled the gaps in the understanding of the processes preceding an individual leaving their environment and emphasised the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in migration research, stressing the bond between culture and cognition.…”

Migration is a well-documented topic in Croatia, particularly in the field of youth migration in specific regions: primarily islands and Gorski Kotar.…”

This paper analyses premigratory disposition among high school graduates in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek based on results of empirical research carried out in 2014. A representative sample of 1,830 students (844 male and 986 female) was made by using a probabilistic two-step cluster sampling model, stratified by the type of school and the city where the school is located. The data were processed using the statistical analytical program SPSS 20. The average age of respondents was 18.85, 54.6% attended vocational schools and 45.4% attended gymnasia. The research showed that almost half of the students intended to leave Croatia to continue their education or seek employment. A statistically significant difference was determined according to gender, type of school attended, and city of residence. Furthermore, a correlation between socioeconomic status, family completeness, and religiosity, among students with a lower premigratory disposition, was also determined.Key words: high school graduates, premigratory disposition, internal migration, external migration, education U ovom radu analizirano je predmigracijsko raspoloženje među maturantima u Zagrebu, Splitu, Rijeci i Osijeku temeljem rezultata empirijskoga istraživanja provedenog tijekom 2014. godine. Reprezentativan uzorak od ukupno 1830 učenika (844 učenika i 986 učenica) sastavljen je primjenom modela probabilističkoga dvoetapnog klasterskog uzorkovanja uz stratifikaciju prema tipu škole i gradu u kojem se škola nalazi, a podaci su obrađeni u statističkom analitičkom programu SPSS 20. Prosječna dob ispitanika je 18,85 godina, strukovne škole je pohađalo 54,6 % a gimnazije 45,4 % učenika. Istraživa-nje je pokazalo da gotovo polovina učenika ima namjeru otići iz Hrvatske radi nastavka obrazovanja ili traženja zaposlenja. U odnosu na predmigracijsko raspoloženje maturanata utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika prema spolu učenika, tipu škole koju pohađaju i gradovima u kojima žive. Nadalje, utvrđena je korelacija između socioekonomskoga statusa i cjelovitosti obitelji te religioznosti učenika s nižim predmigracijskim raspoloženjem. UvodMigracije stanovništva fenomen su koji kontinuirano prati razvoj čovječanstva. Početak 21. stoljeća po tome nije izuzetak, međutim u proteklim gotovo dvama desetljećima migracije prate cjelokupni razvoj na globalnoj razini i prolaze kroz fundamentalne promjene kako u oblicima i dinamici tako i u odredištima (World Migration Report, 2015;de Haas, 2008; Faist i dr., 2013). Migracije tako dolaze u središte zanimanja među-narodne politike, javnosti, medija i humanitarnih organizacija, ali i znanstvene zajednice, otvarajući prostor za istraživanja, provjere teorijskih obrazaca i bolje razumijevanje uzroka i posljedica vanjskih i unutarnjih kretanja ljudi (Massey, 2003; Faist i dr., 2013; Bartram i dr., 2014). Karakter modernih migracija i okolina u kojoj do njih dolazi predstavljaju istraživački izazov koji nameće potrebu interdisciplinarne integracije znanja i metodologija u istraživanju tako kompleksne problematike.

“…A growing number of studies, referred to as “two‐step approaches” to migration (Carling and Schewel ), separate the migration process along two dimensions: the evaluation of migration as a potential course of action and the realization of actual mobility or immobility at a given moment (e.g. Carling ; Docquier, Peri and Ruyssen ; Koikkalainen and Kyle ; Creighton ; Coulter et al. ).…”

“…They are influenced by their own desires to stay or leave, and in function of those constrain the information they receive and the choices they consider as possible courses of action (Galotti 2007, cit. in Koikkalainen andKyle, 2016). They thus tend to be selective in remembering past experiences (their own or others') and are also selective in the ways they consider their possible options (Koikkalainen and Kyle, 2016).…”

This paper is inscribed into a new line of scholarly work seeking to cast light to the ways in which migrants convert their motivations into action within a policy framework that is characterised by many restrictions and limited opportunities to move. Drawing on recent fieldwork (2013‐2014) on irregular migrants from Afghanistan, Albania, Georgia, Pakistan and the Ukraine, in Greece, we investigate how they perceive opportunities and navigate restrictions eventually crossing borders whether unlawfully (from unguarded border areas or with fake documentation) or legally (abusing the terms of their entry/stay). The paper adopts the notion of social navigation as a heuristics tool to conceptualise the social, temporal and spatial character of the migration journey, its nodal points, and the interaction of migrants with different actors and factors that shape their migration plans and explores different types of migrant agency (recuperation, resilience and resistance) developed during the navigation process.
