People Move Abroad for Better Pay and Improved Living Conditions

A global survey carried out by Ipsos MORI has revealed that many people move to a foreign country for healthier living conditions and better pay.

The online poll found the main reasons that families and adults make the decision to move abroad and the findings showed that 38% would relocate for better pay and 28% would move for better living conditions.

The study, which was undertaken in 24 countries, revealed that one in three Britons would hire overseas removals and move abroad. However 50% of those surveyed said that they would be willing to move to another UK city for a job if it paid more.

The most popular excuse given for Brits not wanting to go into exile was leaving family and friends behind as 45% confessed that they would not move away for this reason.

According to the survey, people from Sweden are the most settled as only 39% are eager to move within their country to another Swedish city.

Moreover, they are also the least likely to hire a shipping company and move abroad for a better job as only three out of 10 said they would emigrate.

The people who are the most likely to move to a foreign country for a higher wage, are those in Brazil (71%) and India (67%). Other countries results were Australians (38%), Hungarians (37%), French (37%), and (35%) of Japanese and Germans.

Simon Atkinson, assistant chief executive of Ipsos MORI, concluded that despite a vast array of countries being in economic difficulty with a lack of jobs and a lack of job security, many people are willing to move for a full-time better paid job.
