Who are Skilled Migrants:Conceptual Differentiation,Analysis and Discussion
With global intellectual migration,skilled migrants have become the key to talent policies and the recent concern of academia.Howev-er,the concept of skilled migrants lacks a clear and common definition in the Chinese context,which makes the academic dialects hard to continue.Given this,this paper searches and analyses related literature and discusses the translation among divergent culture,policy and academic contexts.Firstly,it sorts out cultural differences between Chinese and Western contexts in which skilled migrants grow.Secondly,by combing through relevant policies and existing studies,it is found that there is a large tension between the policy context and academic context of this concept,and scholars need to balance the different perspectives of governmental subjects and migrant subjects in their research.This paper hopes to contribute to a better under-standing and selection of"skilled migrants"in different contexts,to promote research dialogues on the subject,and to a comprehensive understanding of the complexity and importance of the concept and the issue in the context of talent strategies.
