Brain Drain from Turkey: Return Intentions of Skilled Migrants
GÜNGÖR, NİL DEMET; Tansel, Aysıt (2014-10-01)
The study estimates an empirical model of return intentions using a dataset compiled from an internet survey of Turkish professionals residing abroad. In the migration literature, wage differentials are often cited as an important factor explaining skilled migration. The findings of our study suggest, however, that non-pecuniary factors, such as the importance of family and social considerations, are also influential in the return or non-return decision of the highly educated. In addition, economic instabil...

The findings of this study indicate that, as expected, higher salaries offered in the host country and lif...

Eventually, an identity problem emerged for the returned migrants and they experienced a confusion and ambigui...
Labor Market Experience in a "Pseudo-Home" Country: Turkish Immigrants in Northern Cyprus
Besim, Mustafa; Ekici, Tufan; Guven-Lisaniler, Fatma (2015-07-03)
In this study we analyze the labor market experiences of Turkish immigrants in Northern Cyprus. Northern Cyprus presents a unique example for Turkish migrants, as many traditional obstacles (language barrier, cultural and ethnic differences and non-transferability of human capital) for immigrant laborers are not applicable since Turkish immigrants have ethnic and cultural similarities to native citizens and Turkey is considered the motherland of Northern Cyprus. Nonetheless, significant differences between ...
