Student-Led Migration is Part of Global Talent Contest

Yojana Sharma writes in University World News about a new report by three major international organizations, "Labor Migration, Skills and Student Mobility in Asia." The report shows that Asia is a main driver behind skilled migration growth with most Asian students migrating to United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. "The migration trend has been accelerated by a skills gap in many advanced countries and global competition for talent, despite general restrictions on immigration in most OECD countries," writes Sharma.
