9 Top 30 Countries People are Moving to 9 - Global Trends According to MoveHub s latest data, career opportunities combined with an appealing lifestyle are the reasons behind professional migrants moving to major cities such as: New York Amsterdam Sydney Dubai Melbourne More people are moving to France (1st) and the UK (2nd) -also at the top of the list from the previous year - than any other country, due to many factors including job opportunities. Many of those moving to the UK are from the USA (3th) and Australia (4th) (see following sections for further details). While Spain (5th) has one of the highest unemployment rates in the EU for 25s and over, it has been improving over the last year and the Spanish economy is one of the top growing economies in the region, perhaps accounting for this. More people are moving to Canada (6th), New Zealand (7th), and Ireland (8th) than there are people leaving. A boost in their economies has renewed interest in these countries and helped attract a new set of professional migrants. The UAE (9th and Germany (10th), both popular countries for job seekers, round out the top 10 destination countries.

15 The United Kingdom Moving out of the UK 54.4% of people moving out of the UK named the weather as a big factor. This is supported by the fact that 40% of international moves from the UK are to notoriously sunnier countries such as: Australia USA Spain France While the main reason for long term 15 - United Kingdom emigration from the UK has been workrelated for the last decade according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), there are now fewer people emigrating for the main purpose of finding a job. This suggests that the decision to leave is being triggered by other factors outside of purely economic ones, unlike many other countries. Indeed, only 25.3% of people told MoveHub that low job prospects was a key reason to move out of the UK. The ONS reported approximately 40,000 more UK passport holders are emigrating out of the UK than those coming to the UK in the last year. There are more people emigrating to the Middle East, Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, and South East Asia primarily looking for work than those immigrating to the UK from these areas, according to the ONS.

25 Australia Moving out of Australia Australia has long been a popular choice for emigration, especially from the UK. However, this trend may be changing as a recent survey of our customers showed that 3 people leave Australia for every person that moves there, particularly in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. 76.1% of enquiries MoveHub received for moving out of Australia came from the states of New South Wales, Victoria, 25 - Australia and Queensland. Northern Territory and Tasmania are home to the least amount of enquiries with less than 1% each. 5.2% of those moving out of Australia told MoveHub their company was paying for their move or that they have a relocation budget that covers the cost of the move. Those currently living in Australia more often than not choose to move to other English speaking countries such as: United Kingdom New Zealand USA Ireland Canada Australia s relationship with the top 2 countries makes it easier for Australians to live and work in these areas, which is part of the reason they are a significant portion of moving abroad enquiries.

Australia s relationship with New Zealand allows Australian citizens to more easily live in work across the Tasman Sea than in other countries. The cost of living in Australia is quite high when compared to the UK or USA on a country level, despite the Australian dollar taking a dip late. The relaxed lifestyle associated with the country is one that some foreigners cannot adjust to properly, according to recently returned professional migrants. Missing family back home is also another reason people are uprooting after 6 to 15 years for their previous home country. Who is moving to Australia 28.2% of Australia s population was born overseas, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), an increase from 24.2% a decade before and highest percentage since The average age of overseas residents in Australia is 26.5, the prime age of the professional migrant and a step up the career ladder. There are more men moving to the Northern Territory than any other state in Australia, with New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland attracting more overseas women than men, according to ABS s records. Unsurprisingly, those born in the UK make up the largest group of those moving to Australia in the last year with over 1.2 million and 5.1% of the total Australian population; which is actually a decline from 5.5% in 2000 and 5.4% just last year. Britons make up 5.1% of the Australian population, more than any other country The number of Britons in the Australian population is 1.2 million, almost twice as much as the next largest 26 - Australia

27 No one loves Australia more than Britons. Despite the distance, Brits have a real sense of affinity with the Aussies, and love the laid back lifestyle and warm weather. Interestingly, there are more expats from the UK in Australia than from New Zealand, despite their proximity TOP AUSTRALIAN MOVE ENQUIRIES BY COUNTRY 55.34% from the UK 11.03% from New Zealand 7.46% from the USA 3.00% from Ireland 2.38% from Canada 79.23% Move from English Speaking countries Professional migrants from France, South Africa, UAE, India, and Sweden make up the rest of the top 10 countries. -Ben Tyrell group, New Zealanders, with just over 600,000 according to the ABS. The number of overseas-born residents from New Zealand (2.6% of the Australian population), China (2%), and India (1.8%) are steadily increasing, compared to 2.1%, 1.1%, and 0.7%, respectively, the year before. Overall, most people are moving to New South Wales (32.2%) or Victoria (23.9%), which remain the most popular destinations for overseas arrivals; these statistics correlate with MoveHub s data showing the most enquiries for working in Sydney and Melbourne. These are most popular with the younger professional migrant demographic while cities like Brisbane in Queensland (19.9%) and Perth in Western Australia (17.5%) are more attractive to families. The least popular states are Northern Territory (1.2%) and Tasmania (0.7%), reports the ABS. In terms of family migration, 78% of the family visas for Australia are partner visas, with the most applicants coming from China (11.2%), India (10.8%), and the UK (9.0%) reports the Australian Government. 14.6% were parents joining their children in Australia.
