The desire to study or take part in a work-study program in another
country or to move to another country permanently is the highest in
Armenia, which has one of the largest diasporas in the world. More
Armenians are estimated to live outside the country than in it. Only
Moldovans are roughly as likely as Armenians to say they would like
to migrate permanently if given the chance, is said in the study
carried by Gallup research center.
According to the survey, 44 percent of polled Armenians would like
to move for temporary work and 39 percent would like to leave the
country for ever.
>From the neighboring Georgia only 14 percent and from Azerbaijan only
12 percent would like to leave their countries.
The second comes Moldova, where 36 percent of the population would
like to leave the country for ever, 53 percent - to move for a
temporary work.
Roughly one in four adults in 12 former Soviet nations say they would
like to move to another country for temporary work (24%) or to study
or take part in a work-study program (25%) if they had the opportunity
to do so. Together, an estimated 70 million desire to migrate for
either of these reasons or for both. Half has many -- approximately
30 million -- would like to leave their countries permanently.
As a result of the survey, it was also found out which post-soviet
countries live on account of assistance from abroad. Tajikistan leads
this list; Armenia is the forth after Moldova and Kyrgyzstan.
The lowest index in this list has Russia; in 2009, only 1 percent of
Russians got assistance from their relatives abroad.
The survey was conducted in the post-soviet 12 republics within 13
thousand people, Liberty radio reports.
