Summary/Abstract: Results from an analysis of data from a representative national survey, carried out in 2018 within the framework of the project “Measures for overcoming the demographic crisis in theRepublic of Bulgaria”, are presented in the paper. Characteristics of the educational structure and of the economic activity of the Bulgarian migrants at their departure from the country are made, which show that the predominant share of them are employed specialists with secondary vocational and higher education. Economic activity and economic spheres where migrants have been employed abroad, as well as main problems before their reintegration after returning in Bulgaria, are identified. An answer to the question whether measures to decrease emigration of highly qualified specialists from the country should be undertaken is looked for.
