62,33% of people wanting to migrate are between 25 and 44

If you like statistics, then this blog is for you! 

Based on a recent survey we did with 1176 respondents, people between 35 and 44 make up 32,31% of those wanting to emigrate.  The 25 – 34 age group follows closely with 30,02%, and the 45 – 54 age group accounts for 22,02%.  Those below 24 make up 8,08% of the group, and those over 55 make up the remaining 7,57%.

The respondents range from being employed full-time, part-time, not employed and looking for work to not employed and not looking for work.  Most (59,7%) are employed and work full time in various industries like Health & Social Care (the largest percentage), Finance and Insurance, IT, Communication Services, or the Government, to list a few.

92,7% have already decided to leave South Africa and emigrate to New Zealand, and the biggest reason people want to leave is for “future opportunities available through economic and political stability.”

Economic stability includes economic growth, low inflation, low unemployment, increases in average income, and a thriving business environment. Examples of political stability include civility, clear rules and regulations widely accepted, followed, and enforced, a society where nobody is above the law, safety and security, and high quality of life.

Sure, many countries struggle with economic stability at the moment, mainly due to the effects of the pandemic.  But surely it’s not too much to ask for a civil society where laws,  rules, and regulations are accepted, followed, and enforced?
