At least 21% of young Germans actively consider leaving the country to improve their living conditions.
Medianews.az reports that according to the annual survey cited by the "Bild" newspaper, overall, 41% of young people say they are ready for such a scenario.
Approximately one-third of respondents admitted that they needed psychological support, which is a record figure for this series of surveys conducted since 2010. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they have financial debt. This is also a record figure.
Kilian Hampel from the University of Konstanz, one of the authors of the study, told the newspaper that when resolving key issues such as buying or renting a home, earning personal income, and career development seems difficult within the country, alternatives abroad become more attractive.
The authors of the study note that young Germans are highly motivated to work, but doubts about whether hard work pays off in Germany are increasing. In particular, respondents were less confident in their career prospects because they were concerned that artificial intelligence technologies would make them unemployed. At the same time, vocational education is becoming increasingly attractive to young people.
It should also be noted that young people from over a hundred countries, from Eastern European countries to distant Asian and African countries, believe they have a better chance of building a good life in Germany. For this reason, Germany is the country from which the largest outflow of migrants occurs. /Musavat.com
