This book examines the education-mobility nexus at an individual and EU policy level. With particular reference to second generations and highly-qualified 'knowledgable' movers, the authors present empirical research on young and adult migrants in Italy, and Italian professionals in European and non-European destinations. This original, data-driven book contributes to wider debates on education policy, the sociology of education and migration studies.
