Brain drain is an increasingly important concern for local governments in northern communities in Canada in maintaining and enhancing human capital levels to sustain vibrant economies and communities. Researchers, however, have yet to examine the magnitude of north-south out-migration nor do we know the characteristics of youth who are likely to relocate. Our study contributes to this knowledge gap by employing multiple waves from Statistics Canada's Youth in Transition Survey (Cohort A) linked to each youth's reading scores from the Programme for International Student Assessment (measured at age 15), and longitudinally to their tax filer information until age 30 (T1 Family Files).
人才流失是加拿大北部社区地方政府日益关注的问题，他们需要维持和提高人力资本水平，以维持充满活力的经济和社区。然而，研究人员尚未研究南北向移民外流的规模，也不知道可能迁移的青年的特征。我们的研究通过使用加拿大青年过渡调查（队列 A）的多个波次，并将每个青年的阅读分数与国际学生评估计划（在 15 岁时测量）相关联，填补了这一知识空白，从纵向来看，这些分数与他们的纳税申报信息一直到 30 岁（T1 家庭档案）。
