- PublicationAccès libreInternational Graduates in Switzerland: Transitioning into the Labor Market(2019)
; Zufferey, JonathanInternational students are potential highly skilled workers who can enter in their host country’s labor market. In Switzerland, migration policies regulate the selection criteria for migrant workers, including international students who subsequently seek employment after graduation. However, Switzerland has competing national interests: on the one hand, economic efficiency requires highly skilled workers who are partially recruited abroad; on the other hand, the state has to address concerns related to immigration, social cohesion, national identity, and security. We analyze the dynamic of international graduates’ integration in the Swiss labor market. We first provide an overview of the stay rates of graduate students based on register data, and then we conduct a multivariate analysis of Swiss labor market integration based on graduate surveys from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. We complement the analysis with responses to problems encountered by the international graduates when seeking employment. We find that Switzerland accesses a pool of variously skilled graduates upon their graduation from Swiss universities. While Swiss employers recruit both European and non-European graduates, the priority rule and facilitated mobility for EU nationals are reflected in higher employment rates of EU graduates. Graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are more likely than non-STEM graduates to find employment in Switzerland. - PublicationAccès libreInternational students in Switzerland : trajectories, stay rates, and intentions for post-graduate mobility(2019)

; ; Since the 1990s, Swiss immigration policies have placed increasing restrictions on non-European Union (EU) immigrants. However, in 2011, based on the initiative of Jacques Neirynck, the Swiss Parliament approved a law facilitating the admission and integration of non-EU nationals with a Swiss university degree. How can this policy openness in times of closure be explained? Drawing on the narratives of stakeholders during parliamentarian debates, and interviews with key political actors, we propose a unique explanatory approach combining: (1) the convincing narratives of steering crafted by parliamentarians, (2) an appropriate temporal and geographical context, and (3) the biographical capacity of the policy initiator to effect policy change. This model will be useful for studies of migration policy change in general. - PublicationAccès libreHow to explain migration policy openness in times of closure?

How to Explain Migration Policy Liberalisation to Allow International Students Staying after Graduation?(2017)
; ; Since the 1990s, Swiss immigration policies have placed more restrictions on non-EU nationals living and working in Switzerland. However, in 2011, based on the initiative of university professor and parliamentarian Jacques Neirynck, the Swiss Parliament approved a new law facilitating the admission and integration of non-EU nationals with a Swiss university degree. How can this policy openness in times of closure be explained? To address this question we examined the narratives crafted by Swiss parliamentarians during the parliamentarian debate - both in favour of and against the draft bill. The main methods used were qualitative analysis of the minutes of parliamentarian debates and in-depth interviews with key political actors. In light of our results, we propose a threedimensional approach to explain why immigration policy liberalisation occurs: (a) the effectiveness of the narratives crafted by policy elites to convince parliamentarians, (b) the appropriate conditions created by the temporal and geographical context, and (c) the biographical capacity of the policy initiators to effect policy change. Emerging from this multi-dimensional approach is a unique perspective of analysis which can be used to understand policy change in migration studies. - PublicationAccès libreDiplôme en poche – partir ou rester dans le pays hôte ? Une analyse des trajectoires des étudiants internationaux en Suisse(2017)Dans cet article, nous analysons le taux de prorogation de séjour en Suisse des diplômés internationaux de master qui est défini comme la proportion de cette population encore en Suisse deux ans après l’obtention du diplôme, en fonction de la nationalité, du domaine d’étude et de l’université. Nos conclusions montrent que le taux de prorogation des diplômés de l’UE/ AELE est plus élevé que celui de ceux qui n’appartiennent pas à l’UE/AELE et que les étudiants africains, asiatiques et américains ont moins tendance à rester.
