However, only 2% of international students enrolled in Malaysia for the same year. In addressing the problem, this research proposes an analysis of Malaysia\u2019s higher education demand from a macro perspective. This is important in getting a holistic view on the international demand for the country\u2019s higher education industry, as well as complementing existing micro-researches which specialize in individual demand. All importers (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ASEAN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">countries) have been classified based on the World Bank\u2019s income classification, namely low-income, lower-middle-income, upper-middle-income and high-income. Three variables namely per capita income, consumer price index and physical distance are used in describing the demand. The findings of the study prove that different income classification results in different demand. The identification of high-potential importing countries is essential in achieving a total of 200,000 international enrolments by 2020, as outlined in the Malaysia economic transformation program.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[411,306,409,410,53],"jel-code":[],"article-type":[1329],"class_list":["entry","author-jem","post-3265","article","type-article","status-publish","tag-asean","tag-gravity-model","tag-higher-education","tag-international-student","tag-malaysia","article-type-normal-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/3265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/3265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3269,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/3265\/revisions\/3269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3265"},{"taxonomy":"jel-code","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jel-code?post=3265"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=3265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
