Western countries. Family and o<strong>the</strong>r social relationships, as well as housing and local<br />

environment conditions, are important factors in emigration decision, but Fouarge and<br />

Ester (2007a) and Bonin et al. (2008) show that employment-related factors, such as<br />

higher income, better working conditions, and opportunities of finding a suitable job are<br />

key migration motivators in Europe, and in <strong>the</strong> new members states in particular.<br />

Therefore we decided to study only <strong>the</strong> emigration in Western region of EU.<br />

In order to compute <strong>the</strong> wage in destination country compared to <strong>the</strong> wage in <strong>the</strong> source<br />

country, we have chosen <strong>the</strong> average annual gross earnings in health and social care in<br />

each source country compared to <strong>the</strong> average annual gross earnings in health and social<br />

care for developed countries in EU, <strong>the</strong> old members (EU15). Table II.1.3.7 introduces<br />

<strong>the</strong> relative wages to be used in <strong>the</strong> future calculations.<br />

B.2.b. MENA Countries<br />

Given <strong>the</strong> distribution of salaries as well as <strong>the</strong> percent of medical doctors per European<br />

and American destinations and using 1 for North African, 1.5 for o<strong>the</strong>r Middle East, 2 for<br />

Golf, 3 for Europe and 4 for America, a weighted relative wage is computed as given in<br />

Table III.B.3. The US wage data are provided by <strong>the</strong> US doctor annual wages for average<br />

median specialty and for starting doctors provided under “Physician Compensation<br />

Survey, By <strong>the</strong> American Medical Group Association (AMGA)”. The European data are<br />

by OECD databases (2009). The MENA wages for medical doctors are taken from<br />
