Sažetak
The author in this article analyzes research resuits about the migration intentions and aspirations
of rural youth in Croatia (the data collected in the project »Rural Youth in the SR
Croatia«).
The general motives for migration of rural youth are connected with questions of changes
in profession, schooling, and shortage of jobs in the local community. On the other hand,
psychical attachment of youths to their villages and families are general motives for their
spacial stabilization.
As a basis for selection of potential migrants, five factor groups were controlled: socio-economic
characteristics of the community, socio-dernographic and economic traits of the
household, type of farm, personal characteristics of each youth, and the youth's participation
in family decision-rnaking. The research establishes that the basis for selection of potential
migrants are, first of all, the personal characteristics of the youth (sex, age, marital
status, education, and profession), and secondly, their degree of participation in important
decision-making in the family.
The research dearly reveals psychical attachment of the young to their village, to be one
of the inhibiting factors discouraging migration, nearly three fifths of the youth desire to
live their lives in their own native village.
