Sažetak
In this article the socio-spatial mobility of the Croatian scientists and scholars is defined by
two specific types of mobility: Drain of the scientists and scholars from research institutes
to some other working areas – brain waste and drain of the scientists from Croatia – brain
drain. Using mostly the empirical results from 1990 onwards, our analyses covered the
transitional period of the transformation of Croatian society with an emphasis on a potential
drain of the scientists considering the intransparency and unavailability of the data on
an actual drain. The potential drain was measured by a degree of the readiness and frequency
of considerations of leaving. Socio-professional characteristics of the scientists and
scholars apt to leaving have been assessed within the frame of socio-demographic and socialization
variables and in working and family-material status environments. The research
showed a drop in inclination to leaving, especially a drop in leaving abroad which can be
explained through multi-layers influence that, regardless of socio-professional conditions
of life and work in Croatia, was marked by a psychological level of expected and projected
changes of the whole social environment, external factors of international labor
market and through a perspective of vanishing image of an isolated and peripheral position
of the Croatian scientists and scholars in relation to the world (European) science.
