9 in 10 Europeans would move abroad – here's where they would go

Nearly half of people living in France, Germany, Italy and the UK expect to live in a different country at some point in the future, a new survey has revealed.

Conducted on behalf of digital insurance firm Feather, the cost of living crisis is the main reason making people consider a life abroad, having been cited by 53% of Britons, 48% of French, 43% of Germans and 32% of Italians.

Just one in 10 Europeans in each of the markets polled, with 500 adults questioned in each, said they definitely wouldn’t move abroad.

While the top destination for each country differs, Spain is a clear winner.

Both Brits and Italians named it as their preferred choice, with 24% and 20% naming the nation respectively, while the country took second place in France and Italy, with 16% and 12% suggesting it as their top option.
