Abstract
This study examines migration intentions and education choices among adolescents from the Wadden islands and answers the research question to what extent are the migration intentions of adolescents from the Wadden islands reflected in their educational choices. Combining quantitative and qualitative data, the research explores the factors influencing their decisions and the relationship between migration intentions and educational trajectories. Future labour market opportunities emerged as a key factor in shaping migration intentions. Other important factors are community ties and island specific determinants such as accessibility and the tight housing market. Also gender differences in were considered but had a small impact on migration intentions. Migration intentions seemed to specifically impact the educational trajectories of those who had the intention they wanted to return. As they would have jobs available for after their study and their educational choices align with the career opportunities given to them. These findings show that migration intentions alone do not solely determine educational trajectories. Overall, this research enhances our understanding of the complex dynamics involved in migration and education choices among adolescents.
