Forecasting International Student Mobility: China Report (British Council, 2008)

The predictions will be:
1) country specific; and
2) short-term to mid-term (vs long-term).
The model is piloted on China but will be rolled out across other markets over the coming year and all markets will be updated annually. View executive summary>>
