Italian PhD Holders Migration Determinants from 2018 ISTAT Survey

A 124.9 KB dataset analyzes determinants of migration for Italian PhD holders. Data originates from the 2018 retrospective ISTAT national survey, distinguishing between interregional and international moves. The research by Martina Dal Molin examines micro, meso, and macro-level factors influencing mobility.

Use Cases

• Modeling migration probability based on individual characteristics (micro level)
• Analyzing the impact of university and PhD program quality (meso level) on mobility
• Studying the effect of regional characteristics (macro level) on PhD holder retention
• Comparing determinants of domestic versus international migration for highly skilled individuals

Strengths

• Data sourced from an official national survey (ISTAT)
• Analysis distinguishes between interregional and abroad migration
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse

Limitations

• Dataset size is 124.9 KB, indicating a very limited scope
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
