    The document summarizes a survey of 108 people who left Bosnia and Herzegovina. It finds that the most common reasons for leaving were inability to find employment (50%), low living standards (50%), political instability (50%), and corruption (50%). Of those who cited inability to find work, 61% were unemployed in Bosnia and 67% did not try to apply for jobs there. The average salary in Bosnia was 851KM, with most survey respondents earning below that amount. The hypothesis that emigration is becoming a trend, even for the employed, is partially supported by the findings.

    Paper Overview

     Research Methodology: Survey
     No. of questions: 26
     No. of people answered the survey: 108
     Target group: people already living outside of Bosnia
    Hypothesis

     Our hypothesis is that people are leaving Bosnia and
    Herzegovina even though they are employed, or
    they even didn‘t seek employement, but because of
    the fact that emigration is becoming a trend
    Survey analysis

     Q: Why did you leave Bosnia and Herzegovina?
     Most common answers:
     Unable to find an employment (50%)
     Low life standard (50%)
     Political instability (50%)
     Corruption (50%)
     Low wages (49%)
    „Unable to find an employment“

     33/54 who answered were unemployed in Bosnia
    (61.11%)
     22 of them didn‘t even try to apply for a job (66.67%)
     21/54 were employed in Bosnia, their wages were as
    following:
     1. 0-500 KM (47%)
     2. 500-1000 KM (42.86%)
     3. 1000-1500 KM (9.5%)
     Average salary in Bosnia: 851 KM
    Analysis

     Three cases:
     1. Unemployed in Bosnia (student), didn‘t have
    personal success outside, high living standard out of
    Bosnia
     2. High salary in Bosnia, left for a good pension
    fund, ashamed to come back because of his friends
    and neighbors
     3. Unemployed in Bosnia, didn‘t apply for a job, the
    same living standard outside
    „What did you gain outside?“

     Got a job/better salary – 68.52 %
     Education – 5.56 %
     Better future for me and my children – 9.26%
     Met a new culture – 3.7%
     I just don‘t like Bosnia/Other people also leave –
    5.56%
     Better political situation – 3.7%
     No stress – 3.7%
    Hypothesis

     The main reason why people leave is looking for a
    better job environment, higher salaries and safer
    positions, employment remains the main reason
     There is a certain trend in the process, it is also
    related to job employment, the trend is that a job is
    easier to get outside then in Bosnia, which explains
    why majority didn‘t even try to apply for a job
     Our hypothesis is thus partially right
