摘要

本研究考察了斯里兰卡应届毕业生的移民意向,重点关注影响其决定的关键社会经济和个人因素。通过对四所州立大学和三所私立大学的毕业生进行在线调查,收集了405名受访者的数据。研究结果表明,在世界一流大学学习的愿望、对国际职业生涯的渴望以及对当前经济形势的看法显著推动了移民意愿。社会资本和政治观念与移民意愿呈负相关,这表明强大的国内网络和对治理的不满可能会减少而不是增加移民的可能性。虽然家庭影响在统计上不显著,但它被包括在扩展分析中。该研究发现了基于性别的差异,女毕业生比男毕业生更有可能表达移民意愿。按性别分列的分析表明,政治观念和社会资本对男性毕业生的影响很大,而对女性毕业生的教育愿望和经济关切则是更强的预测因素。研究结果强调了与职业相关的抱负和经济条件在决定移民决定方面的主导作用。虽然经济困难等传统推动因素是相关的,但教育愿望和文化期望的影响表明,移民也受到更广泛的社会和职业抱负的推动。移徙意向的性别差异突出表明,有必要研究劳动力市场条件和社会规范对男女毕业生的不同影响。这些研究结果强调了增加当地就业机会、提高高等教育水平和解决劳动力市场不匹配问题对管理毕业生移民趋势的重要性。

Global ambitions, local challenges: The complex dynamics of graduate migration intentions in an emerging economy
This study examines the migration intentions of recent graduates in Sri Lanka, focusing on key socio-economic and personal factors influencing their decisions. Using an online survey distributed to graduates from four state and three private universities, data was collected from 405 respondents. The findings indicate that the desire to study at a world-class university, aspirations for an international career, and perceptions of the current economic situation significantly drive migration intentions. Social capital and political perceptions negatively correlate with migration intentions, suggesting that strong domestic networks and dissatisfaction with governance may reduce, rather than increase, the likelihood of migration. Although family influence was not statistically significant, it was included in the extended analysis. The study identifies gender-based differences, with female graduates more likely to express migration intentions than males. Gender-disaggregated analysis shows that political perceptions and social capital significantly influence male graduates, while educational aspirations and economic concerns are stronger predictors among female graduates. The results highlight the dominant role of career-related aspirations and economic conditions in shaping migration decisions. While traditional push factors such as economic hardship are relevant, the influence of educational aspirations and cultural expectations suggests that migration is also driven by broader social and professional ambitions. The gender disparity in migration intentions underscores the need to examine how labour market conditions and social norms differently affect male and female graduates. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing local career opportunities, improving higher education standards, and addressing labour market mismatches to manage graduate migration trends.

期刊介绍: The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
