Visokoobrazovane migrantice iz Hrvatske u državama Europske unije. Iskustva integracije i subjektivne dobrobiti
Highly Educated Migrant Women from the Republic of Croatia in European Countries. Experiences of Integration and Well-Being

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the experiences of highly educated Croatian women who migrated to different European countries after Croatia’s accession to the European Union in 2013, emphasizing their work and non-work/everyday experiences in the context of the economic and social dimensions of integration. The research conducted with a qualitative methodology shows that most female narrators’ work and everyday experiences are predominately satisfactory, largely overlapping, and indicate a relatively high degree of economic and social integration of highly educated migrant women in the receiving countries. Finding a job in their profession enables them to achieve a better standard of living, and they consider working conditions better than in Croatia. Everyday experiences indicate a satisfactory amount of free time and satisfaction with the quality of life. The interlocutor’s approach to the material and non-material aspects of life shows elements of “good living” and “personal prosperity,” as well as subjective well-being and integration.
