Every country would like to retain citizens with high action capacity and education. Ukraine is experiencing a mobility pattern that can be termed a Female drain. Through a sample of students from Sweden and Ukraine, we find that females have higher mobility preferences than males. Our results shows, however, that Swedish females lack an emigration preference, while Ukrainian females have a very high preference for emigration. We believe that Female drain is not solely induced by opportunities of individual wealth, but is driven by needs that can be satisfied by a welfare state directed towards childcare and female work opportunities.
