Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.
Gallup ^ | November 13, 2025 | Benedict Vigers and Julie Ray

Posted on 11/13/2025 12:36:49 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

For the second straight year, about one in five Americans say they would like to leave the U.S. and move permanently to another country if they could. This heightened desire to migrate is driven primarily by younger women.

In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups.

The percentage of younger women wanting to move to another country first rose decisively in 2016, the final year of President Barack Obama's second term. That year, Gallup surveyed the U.S. in June and July, after both parties’ presumptive nominees were set for the November election, which Donald Trump went on to win. Desire to migrate continued to climb afterward, hitting 44% in President Joe Biden’s last year in office and remaining near that level in 2025. This suggests a broader shift in opinion among younger women, rather than a solely partisan one.

The sharp rise in younger women wanting to leave the U.S. has created a large gender gap between them and their male counterparts. Today’s 21-percentage-point gap between younger men (19%) and women (40%) wanting to leave the U.S. is the widest Gallup has recorded on this trend.

Since Gallup began measuring this question globally in 2007, few countries have shown gender gaps this wide in the desire to migrate. Before the U.S. in 2025, no country had recorded a gap of 20 points or more between younger men and women.

If they’re all part of the blue hair/nose ring crowd, I’m ok with it.

These are naive fools who have never been abroad. I came to appreciate America much more after traveling and living in several European countries.....this was in the 90s and early 2000s when western Europe was still European. There were a lot of things America offered that Germany/Austria/Switzerland did not. Traveling in South America and the Middle East made Europe look like a paradise - let alone America.

It ain't that easy to obtain more than a holiday visa unless the applicant has marketable skills. It is especially difficult if the admitting country has high unemployment.

This might not apply to sh*thole countries in SE Asia or the like.

Some countries like Australia do have work-programs allowing young people to travel the land and work for up to six months - but it is often back-breaking work.

These survey results don't much interest me, because they are based on the abject ignorance of the young ladies interviewed, and thus have little relation to reality.

Regards,

Until you read the data spreadsheet, you might find these are not necessarily Americans but just women they called and not the same women.

I understand that Saudi Arabia is a great place to be a woman, almost as good as Iran. Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the UAE could use some young women too
