Intention to pursue overseas jobs among university students and graduates: a case study from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka

“…Graduates are a major category of skilled migrants (Carrington and Detragiache, 1998;Adams, 2003;Marfouk, 2004, 2006;Dumont and Lemaitre, 2004) and have attracted considerable attention in this context (Faggian et al 2006(Faggian et al , 2007aFaggian and McCann, 2009;Bond et al, 2008) in the recent years. One manner in which attention has been drawn to graduates is in terms of their competitiveness in the global job market.…”

A new area classification for understanding internal migration in Britain

“…Here our interest is in spatially diffuse zones which might share similar characteristics and therefore we choose to pursue a conventional cluster analysis methodology. Faggian et al 2006;Simpson 2008, 2009;Owen 1997;Simpson and Finney 2009;Stillwell et al 2008;2010a;2010b Openshaw and Wymer (1995, p.244) suggest that ' [t]here is no statistical technique that is a good substitute for thinking about choice of variable, yet!' Certainly in the case of a migration-based classification, careful thought should be given to whether particular variables are likely to influence migration events or patterns.…”

Working while studying: does it lead to greater attachment to the regional labour market?

“…shown, for example, that gender (Faggian et al, 2007), ethnicity (Faggian et al, 2006), field of study (Venhorst et al, 2010), local labour-market conditions (Venhorst et al, 2011) and location of the educational institution (Groen, 2010;Haapanen and Tervo, 2012) are important for mobility.…”
