Abstract

This article examines the impact of youth migration on the quantitative and qualitative parameters of human capital. Using the example of Kazakhstan, the features of external youth migration, which have a positive and negative impact on the human capital of the receiving and giving country, were studied. In this study, the method of statistical analysis and the graphical method of economic research are used. The authors noted that the most important determinants of leaving the country are education and employment. It was determined that the main share of young migrants in the total structure of migration flows from Kazakhstan left for the Russian Federation, and the main reasons for this situation were established.  The pushing and attracting factors stimulating the migration of young people have been identified by interviewing respondents abroad using social networks and messengers. The importance of the economic consequences of the migration of human capital is also considered, it is noted that in many ways the consequences of the departure of highly qualified labor depend on the level of development of the state and the state of the national economy. The Concept of migration policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2027 is considered, where one of its key areas is educational migration, and initiatives will be implemented within this area, including attracting highly qualified specialists to the country.
