Marzenia młodych o godnej pracy na emigracji i zjawisko brain waste - „zaprzepaszczeni fachowcy” : perspektywa psychologiczna

Abstract

The author, a social psychologist and migration researcher, presents a study of 46 young Polish women, concerning their dreams about decent work abroad. The subjects declare to work in the future in the area strictly connected with their university studies (pedagogics). Only very few take into consideration the possibility of brain waste work. More than two thirds (69%) would like to work abroad as specialists, which number is similar to many other Polish migration studies. Most subjects declare that “a good job” means decent work in terms of wages, durable contract and worker rights respected. The author analyses the results in the context of other contemporary studies about young women and men dreams of good life and good work, including studies on brain waste situation.
