Talented youths such as students, professionals, information technology experts, entrepreneurs, cultural workers, and others are now more internationally mobile in the world economy as a delinquent response to new opportunities (and risks) that are offered by globalization. This trend has been reinforced by the greater information flow on economic opportunities and life-styles in different cities and countries across the globe and by lower transportation costs. The burden of this paper is a critical examination of the various dimensions of delinquent international mobility of human capital and its developmental implications on source nations (often developing countries), recipient nations (often rich countries), and on international crime and development. The work is also interested in empirical solution to risk factors against youthful talents and possibilities as imperatives for social mobilization and transformation in a globalized world. The theoretical model for this work shall connect neo-Marxist critical perspective and comparative advantage theory viewed in the light of parsonnian social order model. Finally, the paper will critique social transformation problematic associated with youthful talents not developed and mobilized. Through resourceful literature and empirical models as stated earlier, the possible solutions will emerge. My expectation is to highlight the need for an adequate and cooperative policy response that balances the human resource needs of the source countries and of the receiving countries considering the fact that ethical standards for recruitment and compensation schemes are possible tools to deal with this phenomenon.

Beliefs about People and the World and Anxiety in Socially Adjusted and Socially Maladjusted Groups of Young Adults

The study was aimed at investigation of differences in just world and human nature beliefs, between socially adjusted and maladjusted young people. In the study was also analyzed correlation between these beliefs and anxiety as trait and state in these two groups. The results show that pupils of secondary school are characterized by higher beliefs in human nature and lower anxiety as trait and state than juvenile delinquents. In relation to just world belief, there were not any differences between these two groups. As predicted, high just world and human nature beliefs correlated with low trait anxiety and state anxiety in group of pupils. But, in group of juvenile delinquents, high state and trait anxiety correlated only with low human nature belief, not with just world belief. In the final part of the paper, the author takes discussion of research results.
