Abstract

Nowadays, highly skilled migration and mobility can be the result of many factors like globalization and revolution in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that caused an ever-increasing circulation of people, ideas, capital and labour. Located within the studies on migrations and mobility, this paper aims to deepen the conceptual category of highly skilled migrant in contemporary society. In addition, one or more profiles of highly qualified migrants will be delineated, analysing the existing literature in the national and international field, showing their evolution, changes from the past, and how there are highly qualified migrants whose qualifications are not recognised - or only partially recognized - in the countries in which they have chosen to live.
