Quantitative Survey Dataset of Third-Country Students and Graduates in Latvia (2025)

This dataset contains the results of a quantitative survey of third-country (non-EU/EEA) students and graduates in Latvia, collected in 2025 as part of a research project examining their labour market integration, study experience, and post-study intentions. The survey includes responses on demographic characteristics, employment and job-search behaviour, study-related factors, migration intentions, barriers to labour market participation, and perceptions of inclusion in Latvian society and higher education. Data were collected using an online questionnaire administered between April-October 2025. The sample includes respondents studying or having recently completed studies at Latvian higher education institutions. The dataset is anonymised in accordance with GDPR requirements, and no personally identifiable information is included. The dataset may be used for research, policy analysis, and comparative studies on international student mobility, integration, and migration dynamics.
