Labor Migration Intention of Future Healthcare Workers

Original language description

The number of migrating healthcare workers for the purpose of employment is rising and it is necessary to uncover the factors affecting the decision of these professionals, considering already the students of health studies. When it comes to the migrating healthcare workers, studies show that the economic factor which clearly stands out is the low pay rate, and, as for the social factors, it is the poor working conditions. This paper aims to discover whether the students of the Faculty of Health Studies in Ústí nad Labem plan, after concluding their studies, to relocate for work to Germany. Furthermore, it seeks to expose which factors most influence the students? decision to move abroad or to a different region of the country; and investigate the economic and social factors connected to family, friends, environment or public facilities. The research was conducted through a questionnaire with 58 students. The inquiry results reveal that students consider moving for work not only outside of Ústí Region, but also abroad, mainly to Germany. The most important factors which discourage students from working in Ústí Region include factors such as working conditions and growth, remuneration, health system and environment. These results may be of use to medical centers, which can influence these factors. Moreover, the results can also help other structurally affected regions in the prevention of migrating health workforce and thus keep the future professionals in these regions.
