<\/a>Overall, financial and economic aspects were the most important reasons to relocate, followed by career considerations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Financial and economic reasons, general career considerations, better life quality and a concrete job
offer appear to be very important drivers considering what the majority of respondents selected,” said CareerJunction. <\/p>\n\n\n

Financial and economic reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Money is essential for the functioning of society and the economy. Every region shows that financial and economic reasons are the main drivers to move and work abroad,” said CareerJunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In South Africa, however, a concrete job offer scored slightly higher than financial and economic reasons as a driver of moving abroad, even though 59% of South Africans said that they would move and work abroad for financial and economic reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n General career considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Individuals from Europe, Central Asia and North America don\u2019t necessarily consider moving and working abroad as a career move or potential career enhancement.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n “However, most other regions around the globe, and especially individuals from South Asia, seem to believe that moving and working abroad can benefit their career.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, career enhancement is the number #1 reason to move and work abroad!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n In South Africa, it only ranks third, at 56%. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Better Life Quality <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Notably, most respondents in North America, Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, and the Pacific don\u2019t rate better life quality as an important reason to relocate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n South Africans only rank this at number 7, with employment, money and education seen as much bigger drivers to move abroad: <\/p>\n\n\n Concrete job offer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “A concrete job offer will persuade the majority of respondents in Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa to move and work abroad.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n “It is interesting to note that a concrete job offer is not of as much importance in highly mobile regions such as the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n In South Africa, a concrete job offer is the main driver of moving abroad, with close to 60% of South Africans stating that a job offer could motivate their final decision. <\/p>\n\n\n Better education or training opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia show the highest willingness to move and work abroad. These regions value the potential of better education or training opportunities abroad.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n For South Africans, better education is the fourth main reason for moving abroad, at 53%. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/a>
