The situation of young people in Germany is anything but good, as the trend study "Youth in Germany 2026" shows. "At 21 per cent, one in five young people are actually planning to leave Germany," says author Kilian Hampel from the University of Konstanz. Young Germans are hoping for better living conditions abroad.
In the long term, emigration even interests 41 per cent of the respondents in the study, who are between 14 and 29 years old. "The study emphasises how urgently young people need reliable prospects for work, housing and financial security," says Hampel.
