Experience in Employing Immigrants and the Perception of Benefits of a Diverse Workforce

Local Labour Market Outcomes of Educational Migration

“…This is a result of a significant increase in students engaged in paid employment while attending a university (Munro, Turok, and Livingston 2009;Peri 2016;Peri and Yasenov 2021;Joensen 2011). In certain studies which analysed the relationship between student employment and the situation on the local market in the short run, it was found that working students cause an increase in the labour supply in university cities, but also push low-skilled urban residents out of the labour market (Munro, Turok, and Livingston 2009;Beblavý and Fabo 2015;Kubiciel-Lodzinska and Maj 2020;Layne-Farrar 2017).
