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.
However there are also a lot of reasons to stay in Germany
With an easily overlooked one being that the actual problems in Germany are not Germany-specific at all.
Political shift to the right, stagnating wages, bad housing market, an aging population calling the shots and giving a fuck about the future? Pick one (or a few) and tell me where to go instead… Moving in the exact same direction but a few years behind is basically the best you can get. And that’s a bad reason to leave your life behind and lose a few years to start fresh.
