Understanding Migration Intentions of Albanian Physicians and Nurses
Financial dissatisfaction and stressful work settings were associated with higher migration intention; policy measures may mitigate these risks. Several systems have piloted targeted retention levers (remuneration, career ladders, dual practice), offering transferable options. Similar interventions could mitigate the brain drain in Albania, improving job satisfaction and financial stability for healthcare workers.
