Tunisia– It has been reported that Tunisians, Sudanese and Jordanians are comfortable to emigrate due to economic reasons, according to the Arab Barometer. This has become significant for half of the population of these countries. This has been seen significantly with many young educated men. There was a poll was conducted over 23000 people across 10 Middle Eastern countries.
More than a third also say they consider emigrating from Lebanon (38 percent), Iraq (35 per cent), and Morocco (34 per cent). There were as many as 48 per cent of Jordanians surveyed who confirmed that they had considered moving abroad, of which 93 per cent of those cited the country’s economic situation as the main reason. This was a trend across the board, the pollsters said, with half of those surveyed saying they wanted to emigrate “because of the economic conditions”.
