description	Return migration is the positive counterpart of the brain drain. The effects of the brain drain in Italy could be negative: this paper shows that highly skilled migrants decide not to return to their native country. ► These factors are related to the structural form of the academic labor market in Italy. ► The wages and job opportunities seem not to be affected by the time spent or the human capital improvements gained abroad. ► An important characteristic of the Italian brain drain is that it cannot be considered a “brain exchange”. ► Many Italian workers leave the country, but very few qualified individuals from other countries choose Italy as a destination.
