I previously estimated between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 have lived abroad at some point in their life. I just increased that estimate to 35-40% of U.S. residents have lived abroad at some point.

Related: An estimated 40% of the U.S. population is eligible for dual residency or dual citizenship in the EU (per Bloomberg news) due to “right of descent” immigration rules.
Multi-national, dual residency and dual citizenship is a huge Immigration privilege for those who have this privilege.
The 21st century will be the most globalized period in history. Those who have global skills will benefit. Those who do not have such skills will be cast aside.
