Abstract

Iseljavanje je pojava koja se javlja u Hrvatskoj već duži niz godina. Fenomen migracija tako nije ništa novo, no problem ovog rada nije iseljavanje kao takvo, već iseljavanje mladih i obrazovanih ljudi. Mladi se odlučuju na preseljenje u neku drugu državu u potrazi za većim prilikama, boljom budućnosti i boljim životom. U ovom radu analizirati ću konkretne motive koji su poticaj za taj odlazak. Kao važan fenomen i potencijalan problem današnjice, smatram kako se migracije nedovoljno istražuje i ne posvećuje se dovoljno pažnje za sprečavanje tog procesa. Na temelju metode analize sadržaja i provedenih intervjua sa ljudima koji su trajno preselili u neku drugu državu iz Hrvatske, odgovorila sam na istraživačko pitanje koje glasi: Koje su motivacije mladih ljudi za iseljavanje iz Hrvatske?, a pretpostavljena teza je bila da su push faktori, tj. potisni faktori kao što su loši ekonomski uvjeti, nezaposlenost, društvena neravnopravnost i slični elementi 'vodeći' u odluci o odlasku te sam to i potvrdila.
Cilj ovog rada je bilo utvrditi koji su to motivi koji mlade potiču na iseljavanje iz domovine i tako istražiti zabrinjavajući trend iseljavanja mladih. U istraživanje su bile uključene osobe u dobi od 20 do 30 godina, sa završenim srednjoškolskim i visokoškolskim obrazovanjem koji su trajno iselili iz Hrvatske.

Abstract (english)

Emigration has been a phenomenon that has been occurring in Croatia for many years. The phenomenon of migration is thus nothing new, but the problem of this work is not emigration as such, but the emigration of young and educated people. Young people decide to move to another country in search of greater opportunities, a better future, and a better life. In this paper, I will analyze the specific motives that are the impetus for this departure. As an important phenomenon and a potential problem of today, I believe that migration is insufficiently researched, and not enough attention is paid to prevent that process. Based on the method of content analysis and interviews with people who have permanently moved to another country from Croatia, I answered a research question that reads: What are the motivations of young people to emigrate from Croatia ?, and the assumed thesis was that push factors, i.e. push factors such as poor economic conditions, unemployment, social inequality and similar elements are ‘leading’ in the decision to leave and I have confirmed this.
The aim of this paper was to determine the motives that motivate young people to emigrate from their homeland and thus to investigate the worrying trend of emigration of young people. The research included persons aged 20 to 30, with completed secondary and higher education who permanently emigrated from Croatia.
