Abstract
Introduction: News about the emigration of young adults have become everyday life, and the number of those who have left Republic of Croatia in their quest for a better life is difficult to determine.
Aim: The aim of this research was to define attitudes and motives related to the intention of emigration abroad and to define if there are any, statistically significant, differences in intentions according to socioeconomic life aspects.
Methods: 83 students of High School Pakrac participated in this research.
Results: According to obtained results, girls have a more negative attitude regarding the emigration of young adults abroad when compared to boys (p=0,02). Construction technicians and medical nurses assume that they will find a job more easier than gymnasium students and physiotherapists (p=0,00). Medical nurses and physiotherapists are more prone to see their future finding a job in their own occupation (p=0,01) and are more satisfied with the choice of their high school orientation when compared to gymnasium students and construction technicians (p=0,00). Examinees generally would either leave Croatia or without any doubt, or would leave in case the opportunity would guarantee them certain future. Low salary (p=0,03), inability of promotion (p=0,04), overall feeling of hopelessness in society (p=0,02) are more expressed factors of emigrations with examinees who have someone who has already gone from Republic of Croatia.
Conclusion: It is necessary to create postulates that will encourage young people to accomplish their existence, status, acquired knowledge, values and potentials in their own homeland.
