According to a poll by the Gallup polling institute, more than 900 million people would emigrate from their home states if they could.
Specifically, 16 percent of adults worldwide showed a willingness to emigrate. According to Gallup, the numbers have risen steadily in almost every region of the world since 2011. Sub-Saharan African countries recorded particularly high values. While in 2011 29 percent of respondents wanted to emigrate, this figure has now risen to 37 percent. With more than three in four adults (76 percent), the desire was highest in Liberia in West Africa. With 75 percent, its immediate neighbor Sierra Leone lagged just behind.
Latin America and the Caribbean have seen an increase from ten percent to 28 percent in twelve years. In first place is the island state of Honduras, where every second person expressed the wish. Ecuador is in second place (49 percent).
The US remains the top destination country
The values for Europe have remained the same. A fifth of people here no longer want to live in their home country. In the successor states of the former Soviet Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the value fell from 15 to 13 percent.
The United States remains at the top of the list of target countries. However, the popularity of the United States fell from 22 to 18 percent.
