Abstract

This article contributes to the understanding of how certain destination choices influence migration intentions among international students in transition economies. A focused group of 15 participants comprising ten males and five females from various African countries was conducted to empirically verify how destination types affect migration intentions. Results from our analysis showed high intentions of participants to return to origin countries or proceed to more developed countries to work or further their education. The study identified cultural differences, inability to obtain a work permit and secure opportunities as well as rising security problems as reasons for return or transit migration intentions. The results also illustrate the importance of religion and social networking as influential factors in migration decisions. An important implication of this study is the implementation of immigration policies that provides support structures and opportunities such as international working experiences for students at the local level to facilitate the smooth transition into the labor market in case of stay, return or transit migration intentions

Özet

Bu makale, geçiş ekonomilerindeki uluslararası öğrencilerin mevcut yaşadıkları yerin göç niyetlerini nasıl etkilediğini anlamaya yönelik katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Afrika ülkelerinden 10'u erkek, 5'i kadından oluşan toplam 15 katılımcı ile odak grup görüşmesi yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda katılımcıların daha iyi eğitim almak ve işte çalışmak için daha gelişmiş ülkelere geçme ya da geri kendi ülkelerine dönme niyetinin yüksek olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, geri dönüşte veya transit göçte, kültürel farklılıklar, yeterli çalışma izni elde edilememesi, güvenli fırsatlar kadar artan güvenlik problemleri etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu sonuçlar, din ve sosyal bağların da göç etme niyetinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada çıkan en önemli sonuç, geri dönüş veya transit göç niyeti olan uluslararası öğrencilerin yerel düzeyde iş piyasasına yumuşak geçişini sağlayan destekleme olanakları ve yapılarına olanak sağlayan göç politikalarının uygulanmasıdır
