Sažetak
This paper presents the results from an empirical research conducted among third and fourth year high school pupils in Vukovar-Srijem County. The results show that even though most of the pupils express satisfaction with their lives in general, as well as with particular dimensions of the quality of life, 64.2% still want to move out from the Vukovar-Srijem County after the completion of their education. The reasons can be found in an extremely low perception of employment possibilities in the County, as well as a low level of trust in important institutions. At the same time, our hypothesis that there will be a correlation between the quality of life and the desire to remain in the County after the completion of education has been confirmed: respondents who consistently scored higher on the dimensions of the quality of life also expressed a stronger desire to continue living in the County in the future.
