The top 20 most attractive countries for university graduates in 2010-12, 2013-15, 2016-18, and 2021-23, ranked by The Economist's "Footloose index."
The index is based on data from the Gallup World Poll, an annual survey of 150,000 people around the world, and asks if people want to move abroad and, if so, where.
Only respondents who said they had completed an undergraduate degree were included.
The first graphic shows rankings by potential total net immigration, while the second graphic shows potential net immigration relative to each country's existing graduate population (e.g., a 100% increase means doubling the current number of graduates through migration).
