This study uses an integrated dataset maintained by Statistics New Zealand to analyse what percentage of a cohort of recent domestic doctoral graduates was employed in New Zealand and their industry destination up to four years post study. The results show that: around 65 per cent of the doctoral cohort were employed in New Zealand four years after they last studied. This was a lower rate of employment in New Zealand than domestic bachelors and masters graduates from the same leaving year; younger graduates, Asians, and graduates in 'Natural and physical sciences' were less likely to be employed in New Zealand four years after they last studied; and the domestic employment rate of the New Zealand doctoral cohort was lower than in similar leaving cohorts in Canada and the United Kingdom.
