we're very keen on recycling

The only thing better than a Nordic country is another Nordic country

I like looking at these kinds of maps and finding the stable spots.

Norway -> Denmark -> Sweden -> Norway is one.

There's also Switzerland -> France -> Switzerland.

The UK escapes being part of one of those cycles by choosing a country that's off the map as their escape.

And then there's the edge case of England going literally outside of the continent, with Australia

Most popular coloring is deceiving: It could mean 90% emigrate to that country or 10% do. Also this map totally neglects how many stay in that country.

To visualize the data completely (not on a map unfortunately) one could choose a chord diagram.

It just ends in a France Switzerland loop. I think you're mistaking Austria for Switzerland.

Also one megatrend pattern that seem to lead away from Russia.

I suppose young french, would like to have better salary... young swiss just want to spend their money on good food, for once

Yeah the swiss mostly want to stay swiss but a lot of people work at the french/swiss border

The grass is always greener on the other side.

I mean this is for the few that want to leave. How likely is it for someone to put "Wants to move to their own country" in a survey?

It's because they're the number one exporter of potassium

I would guess it was very different before the war started, but I can't find a good source nor for this, neither for pre-2022 stats. Now there are at least some companies that moved to Kazakhstan because it was a relatively easy move

Czech Republic

Austria would make sense

Isn't healthcare free in Finland?

well don't go to sweden expecting better healthcare, the previous right wing government has been very busy ruining everything with privatization.

Hasn't Poland doing very well over the last few years? So well, that in fact, here in germany more Poles are going back to Poland than new Poles are coming to germany lol. All because in germany the rents are high, and even more importantly, your net pay sucks since you gotta pay a lot for social security, and those social security costs that get deducted from your pay keep rising, leaving you with an ever smaller net pay.

Into the the largest and richest economy in the region (Eastern Europe)? Shocker, amirite?

Highest salaries in Europe and possibly the world for construction workers.

Well they don't want to be in the EU

Fuck Germany. I’m German. Honestly don’t go there if you have better choices. Not because I don’t want you here, you’re more than welcome. Because you’ll get milked. Germany is impoverishing your country with all sorts of tricks. Look back at the Euro crisis and what we did with Greece. Look at their massive export surplus which basically means we’re exporting deindustrialiuation to you. Look at what we did with the former GDR. Fuck Germany and their capitalist class.

I agree. Merz is basically a total personification of this. All he has achieved in his time is to make the far-right popular again. I hate that guy!

Fuck Germany and their capitalist class.

Yeah, under Orbán Hungary became an assembly service for German carmakers, who then wielded (probably still do) way too much economic influence over the country.

Looks like lots of young Europe hasn’t had this stuck in their head for a while.

Please let me stay in the illusion a few more moments.

It is about 10 years younger than the average age in Europe

I mean it is

threesome?

Mad dogs and Englishmen.
