Why HS migration takesplace? 1. Demand side 2. Supply side 3. Mismatch between Supply and Demand (HS supply > HS Demand) (quality of education & social versus hard sciences) On the Supply side: Economic reasons A) Unemployment among HS B) Reduction of real income per capita (Moldova) C) Large informal sector (60% in Egypt, 77-87% Mauritania) D) Decline in the size of public sector (Egypt, Morocco) E) Low return on tertiary education (Egypt) On the Supply side: Political reasons Political instability in Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan, Jourdan 2 23
