About the Book

This book aims to integrate and augment current state-of-the-art knowledge on graduate migration and its role in local economic development. Offering an international perspective, it is the first focused book of its kind on graduate migration, a recognised and critical component of the global pool of labour. Written by the key scholars working in the field, it draws together an international series of case studies. Each chapter describes empirically founded approaches to examining the role and characteristics of graduate migration in differing situational contexts, highlighting issues concerning government policy, data and methods. Crucially, it assesses the role highly educated individuals play in regional economic development and the determinants of graduate mobility, revealing the characteristics that attract and retain graduates. This unique book is an essential volume for scholars and researchers of geography, regional studies, labour and migration seeking an in-depth, international understanding of human-capital attraction and retention. Contributors include: R. Comunian, J. Corcoran, C. Détang-Dessendre, A. Faggian, R.S. Franklin, M. Haapanen, S. Iammarino, S. Jewell, H. Karhunen, N. Maldonado, E. Marinelli, K.B. Newbold, V. Piguet, R. Ramos, F. Rowe, V. Royuela, V.A. Venhorst, A. Zhi Rou Tang

Review :
'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.' '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.' '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.'
