Previous issue date: 2018-02-18 / The following Master’s thesis examines the causes of brain drain in the context of emerging countries. More precisely, the thesis aims to assess to what extent the migration of highly educated people from emerging countries can be explained by labor market conditions, as neoclassical economics claim. Labor market conditions are defined as job opportunities and income. Mexico and Brazil have been used as case studies due to their similar socioeconomic characteristics. The thesis first provides an overview of the theoretical background of international migration and brain drain. Based on this review, a framework is created. Followed by that a PESTLE analysis is given, which helps to understand the primary data results. Primary data was collected from a sample with 140 participants of each country. In the analysis of the primary data, the Master’s thesis shows that labor market conditions do play an influential role in the decision-making process to move abroad permanently, but only in the context of other factors. Some of those factors have a much stronger influence, such as lifestyle and social ties. / A seguinte tese de mestrado examina as causas da fuga de cérebros (brain drain) no contexto de países emergentes. Mais precisamente, a tese investiga até que grau as condições do mercado de trabalho explicam a migração de pessoas muito educadas, como afirma a teoria de economia neoclássica. As condições do mercado de trabalho são definidas como oportunidades de trabalho e renda. O México e o Brasil têm sido utilizados como estudos de casos devido às suas características socioeconômicas similares. A tese fornece uma visão geral dos antecedentes teóricos da migração internacional e da fuga de cérebros. Com base nesta revisão, é criada um modelo de analise. Baseado em isso, é dada uma análise PESTLE, o que ajuda a entender os resultados dos dados primários. Dados primários foram coletados de uma amostra com 140 participantes de cada país. Na análise dos dados primários, a tese mostra que o mercado de trabalho influencia a decisão de pessoas educadas para mover-se permanente, mas apenas no contexto de outros fatores. Outros fatores têm uma influência mais forte, sendo principalmente o estilo de vida e os laços sociais.
