Lithuania is de facto a country of emigration. Lithuania’s emigration rate is among the highest in the European Union. Since independence in 1990 around 825 thousand people or almost one third of the population has left the country. Although emigration in itself is not a negative phenomenon, Lithuania faces great challenges due to the high rates of emigration: the age composition of the society changes (the population is ageing), labour and skills shortages emerge, as well as the brain drain
