More than 85% of young talents from the Basque Country and Navarre who work abroad want to return
According to one study, 30,000 young Basques and 12,000 Navarros between the ages of 25 and 40 work outside the territory of origin, and most demand active policies to facilitate their return. Diaspora is a young man with highly qualified profiles such as engineering, business management and the STEM branch, whose stay is long, since 60% have been out of place for more than six years.
More than 85% of young people in the Basque Country and Navarre who work outside their territory want to return to their place of origin, which would mean recovering some 35,700 highly qualified professional profiles for these Autonomous Communities.
These data have been collected by a report by the Deusto Business School and the Artizarra Foundation on young immigrants from the Basque Country and Navarre, a non-profit organization that brings together Basque and Navarre professionals and entrepreneurs committed to the sustainable development of the territory to promote the design of processes that allow the recovery of this talent.
According to the study's promoters, 30,000 young Basques between the ages of 25 and 40 and 12,000 Navarros work outside their territory of origin, and most demand active policies to facilitate their return.
This young diaspora has highly qualified profiles, such as engineering, business management and STEM branches, and its stay is long, as 60% have been out of place for more than six years.
According to the study, work and professional development are the main reasons why he left, with being a key factor in the search for better wages and professional projection.
On the other hand, the main obstacles to return are, according to the report, the lack of job opportunities and interesting projects, the lack of professional recognition projects and the problem of access to housing in these territories.
Faced with this, the authors consider it necessary to establish actions to stop the emigration of young talent in the Basque Country and Navarre and to create conditions for their return, as well as to strengthen an active, connected and committed diaspora to their roots in the territory.
