Summary/Abstract: It can be safely confirmed that there may be no other problem in modern living, which with its multidimensional determination and conditionality no longer shakes, disturbs social, institutional and personal perspectives. It is a brain drain as a specific form of migration that implicitly refers to the outflow of the most highly educated, gifted, talented, creative potential possessing professional and personal competencies. The study focuses on the analysis of the situation and the perspectives related to the brain drain which, because of its far-reaching unpredictable, uncontrolled and uncertain implications and repercussions, acquires the legitimacy of a planetary phenomenon. The subject of research in the study is an analysis of the situation and the perspectives that refer to the brain drain from the aspect of the young population based on the examination of the opinion of the examined people regarding the psychological factors for the brain drain. The main goal of the study is to identify and actualize the implicit and explicit factors and assumptions that determine this phenomenon. In the research we start from the general hypothesis that the brain drain is not determined only by material-existential, social and other reasons. The sample in the survey consists of 300 examined people who are part of the student population from 3 universities in the Republic of North Macedonia.
