Abstract: Peripheral and economically lagging regions are short of an adequate supply of human capital and know-how. In order to make the best use of their endogenous potential they have to be able to attract highly qualified workers from other regions. This dependency poses considerable problems; for ambitious individuals central regions are more attractive because they off er a variety of job opportunities and better career perspectives. The findings presented in this paper indicate that, as long as the Jobs offered are attractive on a national scale, there is a higher number of managers and Professionals who are willing to migrate into peripheral regions. It is the job and hardly the region that motivates a move. However, the role of culture as a location factor should not to be neglected and may even increase since interests of family members have become more important in the decision making process.
