| Abstract: | We analyse the profile of potential emigrants from Albania using data from the Central and Eastern Europe Eurobarometer in
1992. Respondents were asked to rate on a four-point scale the likelihood that they would go to live in Western Europe. Our
results show that intention to emigrate is correlated positively with males, education and certain occupations, and negatively
with age. There is little relation between emigration and income. Those who support the introduction of a free market in Albania
are also more likely to emigrate than those who do not.
