ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
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.
