YEREVAN, JUNE 28, NOYAN TAPAN. Only 23% Armenia's population see their
future beyond country's boundaries. According to Radio Liberty, the
evidence of it is the results of the survey conducted by the Gallup
research center. Armenia is inferior to its South Caucasian neighbors
with that index. According to the data of the same survey, 28%
Azerbaijan's population and 26% Georgia's population don't mind
emigrating.
Moldova is the leader with that index among CIS countries. 31% its
population wish to leave the country. That index is almost two-fold
lower in Russia, nearly 17%.
As a result of the surveys Gallup's specialists revealed a number of
regularities connected with private transfers. They refute the
wide-spread opinion that funds sent by people to their relatives from
abroad reduce emigration. "Indeed private transfers have become a
unique stimulus for emigrating people. People receiving money from
their relatives living abroad gradually begin to think that the only
way of living a well-off life is emigrating," Gallup experts emphasize.
According to the latest data published by UN, more than 200 million
world's population lives not in the country it was born. The annual
volume of money they transfer to their relatives is over 300bn USD.
