Resumo: | Globalization has played a major role in the increase of the migration of highly skilled population. In an increasingly competitive world, knowing where the talent is moving and why can constitute an important competitive advantage. While many theories focus on the consequences of emigration, there is a lack of research when it comes to its nature and causes. To complement and build a bridge between the existing literature, improving the comprehension of migration processes, this thesis attempts to understand the functioning of the push and pull factors affecting general migration adding one variable to the analysis: financial literacy. Through a survey-based research, I collected data reflecting the relation of financial literacy with brain drain in three ways: through assessing the impact of financial-literacy related push and pull factors on brain drain, through asking participants if they thought financial literacy had an impact in their emigration decision, and through relating the origin’s country level of financial literacy with brain drain amount. The results showed that both general and financial-literacy related factors behave in a similar way and that the brain drain and non-brain drain populations perceive both types of factors as having a similar impact. Moreover, the origin’s country financial literacy level was not considered and both brain drain and non-brain drain samples reported financial literacy to portray a similar low level of impact on their emigration decision. I trust this research is going to pave the way for future studies to focus on an undeveloped part of the literature. |

Num mundo cada vez mais competitivo, saber para onde o talento vai e porquê pode constituir uma importante vantagem competitiva. Embora muitas teorias se concentrem nas consequências da emigração, poucas focam a sua natureza e causas. Para complementar e construir uma ponte entre a literatura existente, melhorando a compreensão dos processos migratórios, esta tese tenta compreender o funcionamento dos fatores push e pull que afetam a migração geral, adicionando uma variável à análise: a literacia financeira. Recorrendo a um survey, reuni dados que refletiam a relação da literacia financeira com brain drain de três maneiras: avaliando o impacto dos fatores push e pull relacionados com literacia financeira no brain drain, perguntando aos participantes se eles achavam que a literacia financeira tinha impacto na sua decisão de emigração, e relacionando o nível de literacia financeira do país de origem e a quantidade de brain drain. Os resultados mostraram que os fatores push e pull gerais e os relacionados à literacia financeira se comportam de maneira semelhante e que os grupos brain drain e não brain drain atribuem um impacto semelhante a ambos os tipos de fatores. O nível de literacia financeira do país de origem não foi considerado pelo grupo brain drain nem pelo grupo não brain drain. Acredito que esta pesquisa abrirá o caminho para que estudos futuros foquem esta parte não desenvolvida da literatura relacionada com emigração.Mendonça, CristinaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaMatos, Ana Margarida Moutoso Vilas Boas de2023-07-03T07:31:06Z2023-01-252023-012023-01-25T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/41506TID:203278240enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:47:05Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/41506Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:34:11.334068Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
