2. How can the quality of the mobility process be improved?
2.2. For society
Research on mobility tends to focus on the benefit to the individual whereas research on the benefits to the society at large is difficult to find. However, the research that exists, reveals how individuals who study abroad benefit their native society when they return. By bringing with them a global perspective, they help foster the spirit of cross-national cooperation and the opening up of entrepreneurship and innovation.
According to research, the socioeconomic status of those who participate in mobility activities is higher than of those who do not participate. Research also shows that those who participate in mobility activities and have a lower socioeconomic status benefit more than those with a higher socioeconomic status.
