Youth in the UK are increasingly interested in moving abroad

75% of UK youth are dreaming of settling abroad, frustrated with low income and crippling loans. Our investigation uncovers the realities of this trend and the impact on the economy if this becomes a mass phenomenon.

High taxes and increasing living costs are driving the majority of young people in the UK to consider moving abroad, with 75% stating that they are open to the possibility. This is due to the increased financial pressures faced by many, with high rents leaving many young couples burdened by loans even before getting married. This phenomenon if it continues will create a loss of talent pool in the UK workforce, with severe repercussions for the economy.

This brain drain, if not addressed, could see the UK struggling to maintain its previously strong foundations as an economic powerhouse. With a lack of incentives to lay down roots and build a life in their home country, young people are seeking better opportunities elsewhere, and the burden is falling on the government to provide solutions that encourage entrepreneurship and work-life balance.

The impact of this trend will be felt not only by the individuals who choose to leave but also by the country as a whole. However, change can be enacted, but it requires the government to adopt a more proactive approach and consider the quality of life for all generations.
