ABSTRACT

Skilled labor is an important asset for any country in its development process. The emigration of skilled personnel presents the threat of a “brain drain” which can affect a country’s growth, development and the quality of education. In this paper, brain drain is represented by the loss of academic staff and researchers from the country of North Macedonia. The intention to leave is driven by low wages and standards of living, the perception that there is “no future” in North Macedonia, a lack of promotion possibilities based on merit, and political influence in universities. Policy recommendations are suggested for institutions to develop strategies to retain academic and research staff.

摘要

熟练劳动力是任何国家发展过程中的重要资产。技术人员的移徙带来了“人才流失”的威胁，可能影响一个国家的增长、发展和教育质量。在本文中，人才流失是指北马其顿国家学术人员和研究人员的流失。离开的意图是由于低工资和生活水平、北马其顿“没有未来”的看法、缺乏基于绩效的晋升机会以及大学的政治影响力。为机构制定留住学术和研究人员的策略提出了政策建议。
