70% of Armenian young people ready to leave Armenia
17:56 / 01/28/2010


A poll conducted by the Armenian office of the People in Need organization, (Czech Republic), in cooperation with the U.N. office in Armenia, showed that 70% of Armenian young people are ready to leave the country and settle down abroad, and only 18% consider it wrong.

Ninety-six senior school students aged 14-16, 41 boys and 59 girls, were involved in the poll.

88% of the respondents want to leave Armenia, and only 6% prefer remaining in the country. 58% of the respondents prefer European countries: 29.3% of them want to receive education there, 46.6% prefer traveling or going on holiday and 12.5% prefer working abroad.

Re: Armenia and the information war

I find it not surprising. I think in most of the poor countries in the world, especially if you ask the youth (who want to explore the world), people would state that they will be ready to leave their country.

I think five years ago, 90% would want to leave Armenia, now it is 70%, after a couple of years 50%, hoping that Armenia will have a boost in economic growth, jobs and stability.

Also the age of 14-16 years old is not totally representative (it also depends in which region they interviewed just a mere 100 children).

(41 boys and 59 girls sum up to 100?, or maybe in their language that is the same as ninety-six)

Re: Armenia and the information war

In the Netherlands, one of the richest countries in the world, they held a similar poll.

Bijna de helft van nederlandse jongeren wil emigreren

Van de Nederlandse jongeren wil 44 procent in de toekomst emigreren.
Dat blijkt woensdag uit onderzoek van Interview/NSS in opdracht van Visie21, een burgerinitiatief dat werkt aan een langetermijnvisie voor Nederland. Voor het onderzoek zijn ruim zeshonderd jongeren ondervraagd.

Link to the poll

It states that about 44% of the Dutch youth wants to emigrate! This poll is conducted over more than 600 persons.

Again, the poll in Armenia does not show anything, just how on average youth in all over the world think about emigration. Taking in factors of Armenian poverty, wars, eartquakes, this is not a surprise... nor bad.

Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Even people in wealthy countries don't like the city they live in and try to move to a bigger city. This leads me to believe that people think there is more to life in other parts of the world when in reality, it's the same crap everywhere (Minus the extremely poor parts of the world of course)

I agree, nobody is happy with what they have!

However, I concern about Armenia because our population number is low, we face a high rate of emigration already, and we're talking about the youth, which is the supposed to be future of our country. What future awaits us with such youth? I know it happens all around the world, but Armenia doesn't need more people leaving.

Only a better economic condition inside the country will change that. No one can blame those kids for seeking a better life-the trick is to create the situation in Armenia where they will have a better life without having to leave. The emmigration rate is horrid and it is killing our country but you cant blame people for looking for a better life if they feel they cant get it there. Should Armenia's economy grow then less people will leave and some will even return.

You're right, I don't blame them for trying to look for a better life. I just say it's worrying for our society and our country. I just hope that will change.

Re: Armenia and the information war

Immigration was far worse in the 90s. It has since leveled of and decreased, the birth rates has also increased, but obviously we can always use more people. The current economic recession hasn't helped our cause either.
