“…Individuals who study in their home region still live close to family and friends and it is possible to commute to university, making it relatively easy to stay attached to the home region. In contrast, individuals studying at a more distant university may become less attached to their home region on entering university, as they attach to the new study region and its labour market (Haapanen & Karhunen, 2017). Many therefore choose to stay in the new region even after graduation.…”

Universities are often viewed as engines of local economic growth that could mitigate rural depopulation. However, university studies might make individuals more prone to move. We explore this issue in a quasi‐experiment arising due to a sudden reduction in the number of student places at a regional university in northern Sweden in 1998. We find that the reduction in student places affected both educational choices and long‐term migration. Women studied at a university further from home and became more mobile, while men neither studied nor moved. Also, to study at a distant university had a larger impact on migration than studies nearby. This heterogeneity contributes to the understanding of how education affects migration from rural areas.

The work during study is widespread matter worldwide and in the Sultanate of Oman as well. Many Omani students are noticed work during their study. The aim of this research is to analyze the attitude of higher education Omani students towards working during study via identifying benefits they obtain and challenges they face. The quantitative research methodology was implemented via survey approach using structured questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was prepared and distributed to 220 higher education students. 102 respondents have responded (46.3 %). The main findings of the research are: i) Majority of Omani higher education students work during study and the plurality of them are placed in private sector organizations; ii) The “trading” and “other services” sectors absorbs above 70% of students who work during study; iii) 86% of these students joined work in the same area of their study; iv) Enhancement of soft skills is the highest benefit they obtained while the social challenges are considered the highest challenge they face. The outcomes of this study might be helpful to the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MOHERI) as it highlights the importance of having training in the offered higher education programs. MOHERI can also can also recognize challenges face working students and take some actions to eliminate these challenges.
