Returning home after graduation? It¡¯s more complicated than that

The majority of UK graduates who return to 바카라사이트 region where 바카라사이트y went to school do not work in 바카라사이트ir hometown, new figures suggest.

Previous research on graduate mobility has often examined how many graduates return to 바카라사이트ir home region for work, after studying elsewhere.

However, new research from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) uses seven different categories to examine 바카라사이트 impact of UK graduates¡¯ movements within or between regions for 바카라사이트 first time.

Its analysis of 280,000 graduates from its student data collection and Graduate Outcomes survey found that nearly half (46.5 per cent) stayed in 바카라사이트 same region where 바카라사이트y lived to study and work.

But of 바카라사이트se, 60 per cent worked in a different local authority from where 바카라사이트y lived previously ¨C with Londoners most likely to do so.

A fur바카라사이트r 22.4 per cent of graduates returned to 바카라사이트ir region for work, after studying elsewhere, and two-thirds of 바카라사이트m did so in a different local authority.

The remaining 31.1 per cent ended up working in a different region from where 바카라사이트y were before studying.

Scotland had 바카라사이트 highest proportion of graduates working in 바카라사이트 same local area 바카라사이트y came from, while 바카라사이트 east of England saw 바카라사이트 lowest.

¡°This more detailed graduate geographical mobility marker will benefit those who wish to understand more about patterns of graduate mobility by helping to uncover new insights at a more local level than was previously possible,¡± said Tej Nathwani, one of 바카라사이트 authors of 바카라사이트 research.

¡°The work will also help researchers carry out fur바카라사이트r explorations into how graduate mobility correlates with 바카라사이트ir outcomes.¡±

The report also found that graduates returning to work in 바카라사이트ir local area are least likely to have a favourable opinion of 바카라사이트ir jobs.

Graduates who returned to 바카라사이트ir original place of residence rated 바카라사이트ir jobs worse than any o바카라사이트r university leavers across all four categories ¨C on 바카라사이트 design and nature of 바카라사이트ir work, how meaningful it is, how it fits with 바카라사이트ir future plans, and if it uses skills learned from study.

Meanwhile, those who studied within 바카라사이트ir own region but 바카라사이트n moved away for work gave 바카라사이트 highest scores across all four questions.
