“…The most significant individual factor of educational mobility, according to the previous studies, is academic performance. Kyung (1996) found that, on average, mobile students show better academic performance. For this reason, it can be assumed that the applicants' academic abilities influence their decisions to move.…”

“…Family income is the most important characteristic of social background in terms of educational mobility. Since moving to another region is associated with significant costs (especially financial), it follows that the probability of migration is higher among university applicants from more affluent families (Fenske et al, 1974;Fenske, 1972;Hübner, 2012;Kyung, 1996;Mak & Moncur, 2003). Many factors have a strong influence especially on lowincome students.…”

“…An explanation for this effect is that the applicants choose a place to get higher education for the purpose of further employment (Long, 1977 Second, the regional characteristics of educational systems matter. These factors could serve as push-and pull-factors (Alecke et al, 2013;Kyung, 1996;Mak & Moncur, 2003;Mchugh & Morgan, 1984). For example, it was found that the regions with a high number of HEIs tend to have lower levels of migration to other regions.…”

This paper analyses the determinants of student mobility under the unified system of admission in Russia and evaluates the barriers which still limit educational mobility. It is argued that even under the Unified State Examination (USE) and the decreased transaction costs of applying to universities, student mobility is directed towards more developed regional educational markets and richer regions, but is still limited due to the financial constraints in the absence of the additional student support. Russia is a unique case, because it consists of regions with a high variation in socioeconomic development and has local higher education markets with different levels of competition between universities. This study shows the importance of the institutional characteristics of regions in student mobility.

“…The binary logit model is a dominant analytical approach in prior studies and deals with the decision to stay or leave an origin place. Other approaches include the log-linear model (Kyung, 1996), conditional logit model (Gottlieb and Joseph, 2006) and structural equation model (Fukurai, 1991). The focus of the present study is the migration preference of college students toward the five region tiers.…”

“…Two streams of literature focus on the migration of college students. The first stream focuses on student migration, namely, the determinants and influences of the migration of students leaving home to pursue college (Alm and Winters, 2009; Campbell and Siegel, 1967; Kyung, 1996; Mak and Moncur, 2003). The second stream examines employment or college-to-work migration.…”

Maintaining a young, well-educated labor force is an important strategy for regional economic development and social vitality. Based on a comparative study of China and Japan, this article aims to elicit 1) the factors that affect college students’ employment migration preference; and 2) the differences between migration preferences of students from the two countries and the possible explanations for such differences. With the use of survey data from approximately 2,000 college students in the two countries, this study identifies region of origin as a key determinant of employment migration choice in both countries. The region of origin functions as a critical point differentiating primary and secondary labor markets for individuals, whereas the first-tier region in each country is a popular work destination. A one-way bottom-up migration from lower-ranking to higher-ranking regions is revealed in our regional hierarchy model. Findings suggest that Chinese students were oriented to employment opportunities and economic well-being while Japanese students were more inclined to consider personal lifestyle and local amenities. The findings imply that reducing regional disparities in economic development and income levels in China and enhancing urban service facilities in Japan may encourage college graduates to remain in their home regions.
