A new analysis of UNESCO data has found that international students made a $300B impact on the global economy in 2016. International students in Canada had a direct and indirect economic impact of $11.2B USD, an amount that exceeds that of France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Pie News reports that the study warned that the future mobility of international students faced “serious threats” to its growth momentum, due to the increasing costs of studying internationally and poorer work prospects. The article adds that the analysis did not account for unquantifiable, cultural, and social impacts of international mobility.
