Human capital and youth emigration in the “new normal”

Every society's future lies in its youth, which can be considered a critical milestone for a nation's sociopolitical development. This research examines the young population attempting to identify and explores the students' perceptions about migration, their postulates, and the reasoning why so many students ultimately choose to emigrate. Data were collected in a questionnaire survey of 206 randomly selected students from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some different multivariate analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. Other results were further discussed. Results show that the country's legal framework is a key reason for the prevailing poor living standard. This has resulted in a large number of youths leaving the country. Overall, both the legal framework (for both young entrepreneurs and women) and the overall standard of living (quality of life, well-being, salary, retirement, and education) are correlated with people choosing to emigrate. Furthermore, theoretical and practical implications are discussed. As far as we know, this is the first empirical study on this particular region that investigates the youth migration trends considered an important milestone for human capital development.     

Media

Abstract

This article explores young adults' views of seven mass advertising media, and provides an in-depth inquiry into the qualitative media effect these audiences ascribe to each medium. This paper discusses many issues related to young audiences, and provides a useful supplement to the quantitative survey data most commonly found in media research. Respondents showed a distinct preference for media that provided visual stimulation, and a strong preference for media that afforded them control over the experience. Consistent with the concept of selective exposure, respondents preferred media that represented their own interests and opinions. However, media use was often inconsistent with media perceptions. Many respondents willingly suspended criticism when using media, as they consulted mass media for entertainment, rather than information.     

新形势下企业共青团工作存在的问题及对策

基层团组织是共青团各项工作的落脚点,也是团员青年积累经验、锻炼能力、展示才华的大舞台。近年来,川庆油建公司经历了两次专业化重组,已经成为集设计与施工为一体的地面建设专业化公司。公司当前正处在一个极其重要的战略转型期,面临着前所未有的发展机遇和挑战,只有全体青年员工认清形势,明确任务,才能为公司又好又快发展做出更大的贡献。如何在企业改革重组的历史条件下,探索新走向,构筑新格局,保持企业基层团建工作的发展势头,保持团的工作的连续性和有效性,是一个值得在实践中加以探讨和思考的课题。针对基层团组织建设存在的以上问题,油建公司团委结合公司实际状况,在基层团组织建设方面做了一些工作,使公司团青组织体系日趋完善合理,团干队伍素质有了明显提高,但还存在很多不足,需要我们进一步去完善,去改进。
