Briefing paper
From study to work: the effect of extending post-study work rights
Post-Study Work Rights (PSWRs) are granted through temporary visas that allow international students to remain and work in the host country after graduation. This research note investigates the economic consequences of extending PSWRs durations. While extending PSWRs was effective in increasing enrolments, it did not lead to clear improvements in international graduates’ labour market outcomes.
