To leave or not to leave | Intent to emigrate remains disturbingly high

JOHANNESBURG - According to a recent study by the Inclusive Society Institute, the number of South Africans considering emigration remains disturbingly high. 

8,59-percent of adult South Africans over the age of 18 indicated that they either agreed or strongly agreed that they were seriously considering emigrating to another country in the next year or so. 

The driving force appears to be economic. 

For many of those considering emigration, the high unemployment rate, to achieve a better life and to secure a better future is informing their intention.
