Introduction
An annual report in November 2016 depicted the state of departures by young people in their quest for education. The number of Americans opting to pursue education is rapidly increasing. Conversely in the USA, the number of international students continues to rise under the rule of President Donald Trump. However, the Institute of International Education provided a funding in 2016 with the US Department of State.
Being the largest sender of its students to the US, China tops the list with over 31.5% as of 2016 enrolled in US campuses. In 2019, over 328,547 students have studied in the country and probably chosen to stay and work while the rest may have returned to their home country. Unfortunately, the recent China-US trade wars may have adversely impacted this number and left the young minds in a dilemma of choice between studying abroad or staying back. The New York University, University of California, Arizona State University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, North-eastern University, the University of Southern California and Purdue University are among the top eight institutions that enrolled more than 100,000 international students in 2016.
As for those who choose to study abroad, the number steadily increases each year with over 100,000 in the year 2014-2015. A total of 313,415 students left the country compared the 205,983 in 2004-2005. However, the average study duration programs had shrunk with about 63.1% of the proportion studying abroad doing short summer programs as less eight weeks or lesser. The difference was significant compared to the 51.2% who left a decade earlier (2004-2005). A heated debate ensued as whether to send more students abroad for shorter courses or have a few go for more extended periods. The most substantial figure of those traveling out of the country for education purposes in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) stood at 75,065 followed closely by business students with a 63,015 figure. Moreover, over 66.6% or two-thirds of these students were women. Europe seemed to be the most preferred destination with over 54.5% Americans in UK, Italy, France, Spain and the rest to India, and China.
The wage gap of foreigners who choose to study and stay in the US and Americans is significantly different. A recent study of the same brought to light the situation at the ground for most foreigners. There was no sufficient evidence that the last batch of international students was performing poorly over the period 1980 to 2000. The 1994-2000 arrivals outperformed those in 1980-1986 in terms of earnings growth. Education and experience could not account for much-earning gaps between foreigners and natives. Unfortunately, the 2018 study expresses concerns on current foreigners as they may face more significant challenges in the labor market than the ones in the past did. All these may be attributed to racial and ethnic minorities. The fact alone could explain why many international students may choose to go back to their mother countries after completion of their studies.
