Youth Migration in Lebanon

The study of youth migration enhances our knowledge of the responsiveness of individuals to economic incentives and efficiency of the spatial allocation of resources. The objective of this study is to classify the determinants of youth migration in Lebanon in order to find solutions to this problem, i.e. create job opportunities for young workers in Lebanon. This book tackles the causes of youth migration. It identifies the problem using a questionnaire targeting both young Lebanese fresh graduates and immigrants working abroad. The findings of the questionnaire were compiled in a regression model to sort out the main reasons why Lebanese youth are driven out of their country. The analysis of the regression model is the basis for proposing ideas, solutions and policy implications.
