More than 80% of Russia's residents have no desire to emigrate to another country. This is evidenced by a study conducted by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion.

Moreover, the older the respondents are, the more unacceptable they consider the prospects of moving. At the age of 35 to 44, there are almost 80% of them, over 60 years - more than 96%.

16% of survey participants have thoughts of moving abroad. Young people between the ages of 18 and 24 are the ones who think about this most often.

Almost half of Russians call emigration from a country where a person grew up a wrong step. 51% think this is unpatriotic.

At the same time, young people have a different opinion. They are sure that the place of residence is not important, the main thing is that the person is comfortable. This is the opinion of the majority of survey participants aged 18 to 34 years.

Most often, those who are ready to emigrate explain their desire by a higher standard of living, higher salaries and pensions in other countries.

More than 20% say that they do not like the political course of the authorities. 17% are dissatisfied with the legal framework. Another 16 % want to increase the level of social protection and stability. 11% need to improve the quality of health care.
