Abstract
In this study, the differences between migrants from Yugoslavia and the native population in terms of subjective well-being are discussed. The turbulent history of Yugoslavia is important to understand to gain a better understanding of the motives to migrate to more developed countries. The collapse of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia resulted in several brutal conflicts between the different ethnicities. Because of the conflicts, a lot of people decided to migrate from Yugoslavia. Immigrants in Western Europe will exhibit lower levels of subjective well-being in comparison with the native population. Migrants will encounter ethnic boundaries with their incorporation into a new society. There are linguistic and cultural barriers that make it harder for migrants to integrate into their new society and therefore their level of subjective well-being will be lower. The conceptual model suggests that the well-being of Yugoslavian migrants and the native population is channelled by the mediators of education and employment. The research contains empirical research done with quantitative data to test the research question if there are differences between migrants from Yugoslavia and the native population in terms of subjective well-being. This empirical research suggests that the initial relationship between the dependent variable and the main explanatory variable is also channelled by the mediator variable of “Highest level of education” This corresponds to the conceptual model, where the employment status and the highest level of education have a mediating effect on the outcome of the well-being of Yugoslavian migrants and the native population. Finally, the empirical research suggests that there is a negative correlation between the Yugoslavian migrant or not and the measurement of well-being.
