This survey is being interpreted that way: More than half of Gen want to move out of the United States for this sad reason: It’s hardly surprising, especially for the group of young people sometimes called the ‘school shooting generation’.
From the survey itself, “Safety” is at the bottom of the list but Preply claims more than half consider it a reason to move.
It is apparent that Gen Z has no idea how difficult it is for most of them to emigrate to another country.
Similarly, a recent survey found at least 20% of respondents said they will leave the U.S. depending on the outcome of the next national election in 2024. Except that, obviously, almost none will leave and most would not be able to get a visa anyway.

Reality check: At any point in time, about 2-3% of Americans are living abroad, and about 1-2% might be retired abroad. Less than 1% of those 65 and older have their Social Security checks mailed abroad.
