Research topicality is related to the decline in population and its impact on the future development of countries. In parallel, mobility of citizens is seen as an essential economic and personal benefit. The marked rise in migratory flows is a result of economic crisis, lower welfare support, and different levels of income between countries, progressive climate change and unrest from military conflicts. Predictions have pointed to the marked increase in mobility “…people will be on the move in numbers and ways we have not seen before.” (Clemens et al. 2008).
Changing migration patterns in the context of the increase in migration flows necessitates the preparation of statistics, which provides the forecasting of migration processes, the planning of logistics and integration measures for migrants and the development of policies for the reduction of migration.
Using the administrative data on the individual level from various registers, it is possible to construct a more objective geographic, demographic and socio-economic profile of the emigrant. This paper will shed light on the demographics and geographic profile as well as socio-economic (education level) aspects.
