Final Year Project
Project Title
Capital Away from Capital
Description
This paper explores how the loss of human capital in Pakistan can lead to the accumulation of social capital and the formation of communities and associations overseas. Specifically, the study focuses on how Pakistani students' associations/societies at overseas universities function as a medium for Pakistani students to accumulate social capital. The research used qualitative methods and involved in-depth interviews with representatives from Pakistani students' associations/societies at five overseas universities. The findings suggest that these associations not only allow Pakistani students to maintain a connection with their home culture but also enable them to accumulate social capital. Furthermore, the study highlights how Pakistani students who move abroad for higher education can benefit from migrant social capital.
