Do you want to live abroad?

Some people dream of a life abroad whereas others just like a vacation every once in a while. Userneeds’ panel members want a little bit of both it seems.

We have asked our panel members in the Nordics and Ireland if they see themselves living abroad. If you look at each option's total percentage the majority says no and that they prefer staying in their home country. However, if you look at the countries individually it is a different picture especially for Sweden and Norway, where respectively 19 and 28 percent say "No, I want to stay in my home country" compared to 34 percent in Finland, 45 percent in Denmark and 52 percent in Ireland.

In other words, 69 percent of the Norwegian panel members and 78 percent of the Swedish panel members have chosen either "I want to live abroad as soon as possible", "I want to live abroad at some point" or "I want to live abroad but only for a short period of time". In Ireland, just 43 percent have chosen one of those three options.

According to the quick poll the Irish and Danish panel members are thus the ones most keen on staying in their home country, the Finns are somewhere in the middle with 61 percent choosing one of the three "yes"-options and finally the Swedes and Norwegians are ready to live abroad - if not as soon as possible then at some point.
