Desire to Migrate: A survey among students

Iran Migration Observatory has investigated student and graduate’s attitudes and desires to migrate by conducting several surveys. In this regard, Observatory has conducted an online survey in late 2018 and early 2019. 920 students who were graduated after 2011 have participated in this survey. The purpose of this survey was to measure students’ desire to migrate after economic shocks in 2018 and its impacts on students’ willingness to migrate as well as studying about impacts of scientific, occupational, cultural, social, and political factors on students’ desire to migrate or remain in Iran. Furthermore, students’ information about migration channels and destination countries were investigated in this survey.
