Abstract

Die Abwanderung überwiegend junger, gebildeter Menschen aus Ostdeutschland wird häufig als nachteilig für die Entwicklungsfähigkeit und den Aufholprozess der Neuen Länder betrachtet. Das Phänomen der Zuwanderung - und dabei nicht zuletzt der Rückwanderung vormals Abgewanderter - findet in diesem Zusammenhang besonderes Interesse. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die Rückwanderungsneigung auf Basis eines im Rahmen des DFG-Forschungsprojektes 'Brain drain aus Ostdeutschland' am Lehrstuhl für Sozialgeographie der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg erhobenen Datensatzes zu den Einstellungen und Motivlagen aus Sachsen-Anhalt abgewanderter junger Menschen. Dabei wird auf folgende Aspekte besonderer Wert gelegt: die Wirkung des Arbeitsmarkterfolges nach der Abwanderung; der Einfluss sozialer Bindungen in der Herkunfts- und der Zielregion; schließlich die Selektivität der Rückwanderungsneigung. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich erstens, dass der individuelle Arbeitsmarkterfolg in der Zielregion die Rückkehrneigung verringert. Zweitens konnte die rückwanderungsfördernde Wirkung bestehender sozialer Bindungen zum Herkunftsgebiet nachgewiesen werden. Hinsichtlich der Selektivität der Rückwanderungsintentionen sind die Ergebnisse ambivalent.
