Se trata de un estudio sobre la emigración.
Si bien la palabra no existe en el diccionario (deja mucho que desear la RAE), es un término muy utilizado en este contexto (y también en otros).
Aquí las frases:
En relación a los destinos, se observó una concentración de las solitudes para España y Chile, siendo el primero uno de los destinos principales de la emigración uruguaya actual, y el segundo es un país atractor para el caso de los profesionales de la salud.
Chile, se está convirtiendo en un país atractor importante para los egresados de Medicina y Enfermería uruguayos.

magnet
I would suggest dropping the word "country" in order to intensify the English idiom. If you mention Chile, the reader understands that it is a country and that countries are the entities doing the attracting.
Example sentence:
"Woodstock has become a magnet for galleries specializing in the latest South African Art
