In 1980s, more individuals than ever before immigrated from socialist or previously socialist countries to western countries. Are the determinants of migration from socialist countries to capitalist countries the same as the determinants of migration from capitalist to capitalist countries? Explanations in the brain drain literature focus on job opportunities, living standards, and social-family ties as predictors. Analysis of longitudinal data collected by the author was based on life-historical and structured interviews with Chinese students and scholars in both the USA and the PRC.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In 1980s, more individuals than ever before immigrated from socialist or previously socialist countries to western countries. Are the determinants of migration from socialist countries to capitalist countries the same as the determinants of migration from capitalist to capitalist countries? Explanations in the brain drain literature focus on job opportunities, living standards, and social-family ties as predictors. Analysis of longitudinal data collected by the author was based on life-historical and structured interviews with Chinese students and scholars in both the USA and the PRC.
520 $a After standard sociodemographic variables were controlled, it was found that human capital variables and structural variables did not explain all the variance of the brain drain from a socialist country to a capitalist country. Additional variance was explained by class position and by ideology. Class position, as defined by the Chinese government for families in the early 1950s, was strongly predictive of intentions to emigrate. This variable was found to be mediated through ideological orientation. It is postulated that on the one hand, ideological differences are adopted as a consequence of assigned "class" status and in turn prepare individuals to either return to their homeland after a period abroad or migrate permanently; on the other hand, ideology has its independent effect on migration decisions when class and social background variables are controlled. A theoretical and empirical explanation of individual ideological differences contributing to brain drain is presented.
