进入21世纪以来,知识经济成为经济全球化的重要推动力,人才和创新成为各国政府的关注重点。美国、加拿大作为经济发达国家,在传统经济领域中有强大的竞争优势。为了保持现有的优势,应对不断凸显的人口老龄化问题,两国政府都加大了对海外留学生的吸引力度,这样不但可以打造多元的教育环境,而且可以通过开放的移民政策吸纳留学生成为本国居民。因此,国际留学生不仅给两国带来了可观的经济收益,而且从科技研发和人力资源方面增强了其国际竞争力。本报告主要分析了2013年美国、加拿大吸纳国际留学生的现状,以及中国留学生在这两个国家的留学状况。
<<In the 21st century,knowledge economy has become an important driving force of economic globalization,and talent and innovation has become the focus of governments of all countries. The US and Canada,as developed countries,boast a strong competitive edge in traditional economic fields. In order to maintain their existing advantage and cope with the ageing effect,both governments have stepped up efforts to attract overseas students,not only to create a diversified educational environment,but also to attract students to become domestic residents through an open immigration system. Therefore,international students not only have brought considerable economic benefit to those countries,but also enhance their international competitiveness in research and development as well as human resources. This part mainly reviews the status quo of international students in the US and Canada,with a focus on Chinese students in these two countries.
