What insights can I gather on student flows between Source and Destination Locations on the Overview Report?

This article explains what insights you can get on student flows between Source and Destination locations using the Overview report in Labour Market Insights

Updated over a week ago

Opening the Overview report

  1. Log into HolonIQ and go to Labour Market Insights.

  2. From the Reports menu, select Overview.

Using Source/Destination filters

  1. Locate the filter bar at the top of the Overview report.

  2. Select Source:

    • Choose a specific origin location (country, region, or “global” option if available).

  3. Select Destination:

    • Choose the destination you want to analyse (country, region, or education market).

  4. Optional: add additional filters such as study level, sector, or demographic groups if available.

    • Tip: filter pills appear at the top - click the “X” on a pill to remove a filter.

Setting the time period

  1. Use the time-range control (year selector) to choose the start and end years for your analysis.

  2. The Overview report will refresh to show counts and CAGR for that selected period.

    • Tip: pick multi-year ranges (e.g., 2018–2023) to get meaningful CAGR values; very short ranges (1 year) give limited insight into trend.

Finding Counts and CAGR in the Overview report

  • Counts:

    • Shown as annual values in the table or summary cards (e.g., Students: 12,345 for 2023).

    • Hover over chart points or table cells to see year-by-year counts.

  • CAGR:

    • Displayed next to counts for the selected period or in a comparison column (may show as a percentage).

    • Indicates average annual growth between the start and end year.

Practical tips

  • Always review both Counts and CAGR: Counts show scale, CAGR shows momentum.

  • For robust comparisons, compare CAGRs across routes with similar base sizes.

  • Use a 3-5+ year window to get meaningful CAGR numbers - very short windows can be misleading.

  • If you see very large CAGRs for small counts, call out the low-base effect in your notes/reports.

  • Use filters (study level, sector) to focus on the student segments that matter for your analysis.
