No future in Germany? Jobs, housing, finances: 20% of young Germans hope for better living conditions abroad. In the long term, emigration appeals to 41% of 14- to 29-year-olds, a new study finds.
While Germany seems nice in comparison to poor countries, our neighboring countries do many things a lot better than we do. Denmark has a functioning social security system, Netherlands have actual liveable cities, Norway is rich and laid back, Sweden is great, Spain is currently the progressive inspiration for Europe, etc.
Germany is fucking boring, full of Nazis, falling apart due to neglected maintenance of Infrastructure over the course of the past 30-40 years, suffers from garbage conservative politics, is smothered by shit tons of bureaucracy, etc. I fully understand why young people want to leave. There’s nothing here for them.
I tend to agree with you, but, having lived many years in other countries, I can tell you, you have to leave to appreciate it. Traveling gives you perspective.
1 in 5 young Germans are pretty ignorant about how good they have it in Germany.
“hope to find” is not a great plan.

Young people primarily care about money and career prospects, which there are none in Germany.
