Graduate Migration and Regional Development

Reviews / Votes

'By providing an international perspective on graduate migration, this book offers elegant and stimulating advances on the interpretation of high-skilled mobility. Through the identification of sources of mismatches between individual qualification and job offered, of push or pull economic and social factors for migration, and of wage discrepancies between types of migrants, the reader is provided with a comprehensive, consistent, modern and well-structured framework of the socio-economic problems concerning tertiary-educated migrants.' -- Roberta Capello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy 'An excellent work providing updated and comprehensive international evidence on graduate migration and on the mechanisms underlying it. A must-read for experts in regional science and educational studies.' -- Paolo Veneri, OECD, France 'Higher-educated graduates are highly spatially mobile and are the major determinant of change of human capital in a region. In this book, well-known experts add new insight to the literature on the outcomes of various types of graduate migration for education-job mismatch and wages, and show how this varies among singles and couples, by gender and by the characteristics of the regional labour market. The interesting findings are based on empirical evidence from countries all over the world.' -- Jouke van Dijk, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
