Australia & New Zealand Top Immigration Destinations
A new study from currencies.co.uk shows that 31% of UK employees would consider emigrating overseas for better career prospects.
Australia and New Zealand come out on top as the favoured destinations with 70% of potential migrants being drawn by the prospects of better economic conditions, an attractive work/life balance and a better climate.
Some 42% of would be migrants fear that losing their job will drive them to pursue opportunities outside the UK. A massive 86% are attracted by the hope of a better work life balance.
A higher proportion of younger workers would consider emigrating with 55% of 18-24 year olds and 42% of 25-34% being attracted mainly by improved career prospects.
Stephen Hughes, Currency Analyst at Currencies.co.uk, commented: “This study demonstrates a severe lack of confidence in the employment situation in the UK, particularly amongst younger age groups.
We’ve seen a dramatic increase in people transferring money for rental deposits having secured employment overseas since the start of the economic crisis and this is likely to continue.”
