'Being mobile has become an ubiquitous modus operandi as the highly
educated seek to advance, and take advantage of their human
capital. Corcoran and Faggian's edited volume helps us to
understand the causes and consequences of university graduates'
choices to migrate or stay put. The selected contributions -
situated in ten OECD countries - cover a wide spectrum of issues,
from overeducation and wages to life-course linkages and impacts of
the Great Recession. It is an insightful and timely account of the
intellectual elite's sorting and redistribution in developed
countries.' - Brigitte Waldorf, Purdue University, US 'Graduates
are key resources to economic development. ''Enlighted'' policy
makers around the world spend effort and resources to attract and
retain them. However, our understanding of the drivers and impacts
of graduate mobility remains limited. This book offers invaluable
insights into this debate by combining cutting-edge academic
knowledge with a truly global coverage of examples and case
studies.' - Riccardo Crescenzi, London School of Economics, UK 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.
