<![CDATA[The brain drain phenomenon in generation Z has become a significant global issue. This research aims to explore the factors that encourage generation Z to leave their home countries to seek opportunities abroad.

Thematic analysis identified four main themes: economic opportunity, educational quality, socio-political dissatisfaction, and self-development aspirations.
