40% of Young US Women Want to Leave the Country: Survey Results Spark Concern
A recent Gallup poll indicates a growing desire among Americans to permanently emigrate, especially among young women aged 15-44, with 40% expressing a desire to leave. The preferred destination is Canada, aligning with historical emigration patterns. This trend has become increasingly politicized since 2017, and there is a direct correlation between low confidence in U.S. institutions, such as the government, and the desire to leave the country. The survey highlights a significant gender gap in the desire to emigrate, with women in the specified age group exhibiting a far greater inclination to move abroad compared to their male counterparts.
