With the UK striving to become a leading 'science superpower' and ongoing discussions surrounding the UK visa system, Angus Holford, Peter Jelfs, and Tommaso Sartori delve into the labour market impacts of UK and foreign-born PhD holders.
Their new research aimed to document the outcomes for the UK labour market of this system. Utilising data spanning eleven years from the UK Labour Force Survey, they focused on PhD-holders as a representation of highly skilled individuals. Their analysis delved into the retention rates of these individuals in the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) fields, their income levels, and their likelihood of venturing into entrepreneurship. Furthermore, they drew comparisons between foreign-born and UK-born PhDs, as well as between PhD holders and individuals with lower educational qualifications.
Their analysis can be found here - Analysis.
