Abstract

In 1980, about 900,000 youth in the world expatriated themselves to study abroad. Today, this number has almost tripled. Five countries attract 70 % of these students: the United States of America, England, Germany, France and Australia whereas the countries sending the highest levels of students abroad are: China, South Korea, India, Japan and Greece. The Maghreb countries are at the very bottom on this list.
