Young Educated Africans Most Likely to Go Abroad

While more than a third of Africans have thought about emigrating, far fewer are actually putting concrete measures in place to do so, according to a new report by Pan-African research network Afrobarometer.

Respondents were asked:How much, if at all, have you considered moving to another country to live?

On average across 34 countries, one in four Africans (25%) say someone in their family has lived in another country during the past three years. About one in five (21%) say they depend at least “a little bit” on remittances sent from abroad, says Afrobarometer.
