ZAŠTO MLADI LJUDI NAPUŠTAJU BOSNU I HERCEGOVINU: TEŽNJA ZA PROMJENOM ILI BIJEG OD OČAJA? ABSTRACT One of the major problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina is youth emigration which, in a simple definition, is the act of leaving a resident country with the intent to settle elsewhere. Young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina mainly emigrate to European countries in search of better living conditions. Emigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina is a continual process that is caused by many factors. The purpose of this study is to determine key factors that motivate young people to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina. In that respect, we use USAID MEASURE-BiH National Youth Survey (NYS) data set that consists of 4,500 randomly selected respondents from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The data collection took place in the period January-February 2018. Data were collected by using a survey questionnaire that, besides socio-demographic variables, addresses several factors such as education, employment, training, social capital, migration, etc. The results of the probit model have revealed that push factors, such as employment opportunities, household income, living standard and experience with the corruption determine emigration decisions of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Presented results may produce useful pieces of information which might be helpful for relevant decision-makers in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the process of creating such a model of economic and social policy that will stop the emigration of young people. Key words: youth, emigration, probit, Bosnia and Herzegovina. JEL: F22, J13, C80 SAŽETAK Jedan od glavnih problema u Bosni i Hercegovini tiče se emigracije mladih ljudi. Emigracija, u najjednostavnijem smislu riječi podrazumijeva napuštanje zemlje prebivališta. Mladi ljudi iz Bosne i Hercegovine, u potrazi za boljim životnim prilikama, uglavnom emirgriraju u evropske zemlje. Emigracija iz Bosne i Hercegovine je kontinuirani proces koji je uzorkovan mnogim faktorima. Stoga, cilj ovog rada je da identifikuje glavne faktore koji motivišu mlade ljude da napuste Bosnu i Hercegovinu. Da bi se ovaj cilj realizovao biće korištena USAID MEASURE-BiH National Youth Survey (NYS) baza koja se sastoji od 4500 slučajno odabranih ispitanika iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Podaci su prikupljeni u januaru i februaru 2018. godine....
