“…Meanwhile, the more students recognized that high unemployment pushes people abroad, the more they were likely to consider emigration as a possible outcome. The finding is consistent with the results from multiple studies that found high unemployment as one of the main causes of emigration from Lithuania [15,17,32]. Consistently, the proportion of students who intended to emigrate from Lithuania was smaller as compared to pharmacists, where more than one quarter expressed wishes to work in other EU countries in 2004 [25].…”

SummaryLithuania among the middle-income countries is experiencing the brain drain situation when high-educated professionals, including health care specialists, migrate to high-income countries in search for better economic, social and cultural life. The objective of the study was to identify the potential reasons for migration from the perspective of pharmacy students that might come into consideration after they graduate university. A convenience sample (n = 196) of pharmacy students participated in the cross-sectional survey where they gave opinion on why people emigrate from Lithuania, also expressed personal attitude towards emigration, as well as intention to emigrate after the studies on self-report scales. The nonlinear Robust Path Analysis approach was employed for data analysis. The results revealed that high unemployment conceived as a reason to emigrate from Lithuania, as well as personal attitude towards emigration was significantly linked with intent to emigrate after studies. Family or friends living abroad, adverse cultural environment, and lack of entertainment options conceived as a reason to emigrate significantly affected students personal attitude towards emigration from Lithuania. High unemployment as a reason for emigration remained the main factor directly associated with the intention to emigrate. However, investment in social, cultural and human capital should be seen as the next step to reduce the attractiveness of emigration to the future pharmacists.

“…ANOVA p value will show if the hypothesis can be accepted and if statistically significant impact was found (significance level is 0,05). If the ANOVA p value is less than the significance level of 0,05, it means that statistically significant relation between dependent and independent variables exists (Dudzevičiūtė & Čekanauskas, 2014).…”

Research background: Importance of intangible resources for country’s economic growth is widely recognized. However, empirical evidence of this influence is hard to show due to measurement limitations of intangible resources. Majority of empirical studies concentrates on the analysis of a specific type of intangible resource’s influence on economic growth. National intellectual capital concept provides background for an integrated assessment of the country's intangible resources. This new approach enables the estimation of intangible resources’ influence to economic growth in a more complex way. Purpose of the article: a) To examine various scientific approaches of the national intellectual capital and its impact on the economic growth; b) to offer a measurement model of the national intellectual capital influence on economic growth; c) to evaluate the specific European Union countries’ intellectual capital’s effect on their economic growth. Methods: Econometric analysis; refined factor value computation method using the stand-ardized regression coefficients; the SAW method; expert evaluation, cluster analysis; corre-lation and regression analyses. Findings & Value added: A review of the economic growth theories showed that structural components of intellectual capital (human capital, structural capital, social capital, relational capital) in economic growth theories are analyzed as key determinants of economic growth. Our proposed research methodology consists time lag between variables and this let us evaluate casual relation. Empirical analysis of 25 European Union countries’ intellectual capital’s effect on their economic growth rate revealed that national intellectual capital and the countries’ level of economic development have statistically significant impact on economic growth rate. The analysis of intellectual capital components’ influence on economic growth rate of 25 European Union countries showed that only human capital and the level of economic development have statistically significant influence. A more comprehensive human capital’s influence on economic growth analysis revealed that 63.1 percent of the long-term economic growth rate in 25 European Union countries can be explained by differences in their economic development level and differences in educational achievement factor values. Moreover, analysis of national intellectual capital effect on economic growth in separate clusters allowed to identify influence differences in each group of countries.

“…(IOM, 2004, p. 41) According to Divinský (2005), the Slovak expert on migration issues, "migration management" is a term which is hierarchically superior to the term "migration policy". In his understanding, the migration policy constitutes one of the three basic pillars of migration management; the others two being migration legislature and institutions acting in this field (Divinský, 2005;Bargerová & Divinský, 2008;Dudzeviciute & Cekanauskas, 2014;. It is obvious at the first sight that defining migration policy is not as easy as it seems.…”

Abstract. Unpredictability of the migration movements; efforts to protect the state's territory from irregular and illegal activities; as well as tendency to fill in the gaps on the labour market in the receiving countries are only few out of many preconditions which stimulate attempts of the nation states to coordinate and influence migration on their territories using the instruments of the migration policy. However, the instruments as proposed in the strategic documents do not always meet the practical demands emerging from the migration profile of the particular state, or they are not applied properly -from different reasons. Our paper analyses the cited discrepancy in the Slovak Republic. The main aim is to identify instruments of the Slovak migration policy as presented in the latest strategic documents and compare the theoretical framework with the practical reality. The paper concludes by analysing reasons of existing gaps between the theory and practice in the Slovak settings.
