Territorial Statistical Analysis of National Student Mobility in Italian Universities (original) (raw)

Abstract

The reforms in the university education system, motivated primarily by the need to bring universities closer to the professional needs of the economy and businesses, have changed the offer of Italian university education. The present work starts from a synthetic representation of national student mobility, both in terms of the allocation of university students in the various universities and the attractiveness of the various territorial areas. The comparison between the “potential” and “effective” catchment area and the structural availability, allows to define territories more attractive than others. By defining thematic maps, useful for summarizing national mobility, we will try to make a summary of the Italian situation trying to bring out the main causes of this phenomenon.

The contribution is the result of joint reflections by the authors, with the following contributions attributed to M. Iaquinta (chapters 1, 3 and paragraphs 2.1), to P. Perchinunno (paragraphs 2.2, 2.4, 2.5), and to F. Rotondo (chapters 4, 5 and paragraphs 2.3).
