Title: Drivers of international education and skilled migration: Reshaping perspectives



International students play a leading role in the globalised and mobilised knowledge economy today. There is a growing body of research that views being mobile for educational purposes and skilled migration as two closely related processes in the continuum of the mobile lives of the modern-day youth. Based on the findings of my PhD research, this talk presents insights into the relationship between international student mobility and skilled migration.
