Young People Want to be Free to Move

December 4th 2006 04:01
According to a BBC global survey of 15-17 year-olds, four out of every five youngsters believe people should be able to live in any country they choose without migration controls.

Of those questioned 79% said people should be able to live in whatever country they choose while 64% said they would emigrate to another country if they could secure a better financial future.

Currently about 3% of the world's population are migrants, if this poll is anything to go by, that number will rise significantly in the not too distant future.

i wonder how and why those cosmopolitan ideals start to wane (and if they will this time around). this is a good post and an interesting subject. how about you personally? do you believe in a world bereft of borders and restrictions on im/migration?

looks like nationalism is on decline or is it? how can we explain the rise in nationalistic feelings in some european countries which are now advocating limited immigration and are nervous about "outsiders".

For the last 10 years I've moved between various states of Australia and loved it. I'd also like to live overseas so yes an ideal world would be one without borders.
However, I also realise it's not that simple and the world we live in is a long way from ideal.
