Özet


In the 21st century, the mobility of human capital in Central and Eastern Europe is linked to global migrations. The relationship between migration and human capital is at the center of today's global economic and social dynamics. Human capital is considered a fundamental element for the economic development of a country or region, while migration is an important factor affecting the mobility of human capital. In this context, the relationship between migration and human capital forms a complex network of interactions that shape the economic, social and cultural structure of both migrating individuals and receiving societies. This study aims to examine the important relationship between migration and human capital in depth. In this context, the causes and trends of migration movements in Central and Eastern European countries and how these movements are related to demographic and socio-economic factors are evaluated. The effects of migration, especially the migration of skilled labor, on the stock of human capital are analyzed.
With the integration of Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) into the global economy and their participation in trade flows, significant changes have taken place. The transition from socialism to capitalism has significantly affected the mobility of human capital in the region. Economic reforms and structural changes have shaped the contribution of human capital to economic growth. In this process, the increase in foreign direct investment has played a key role in attracting human capital. Central and Eastern Europe is an important focus for understanding how different development paths intersect with global migration trends. Economic integration between Eastern and Western Europe has affected labor market dynamics and economic structures in the region. Human capital development stands out as the key to economic development and social progress in the region.
