 "Trump impact? Two of three young Americans want to leave the US, finds new survey")
An overwhelming majority of young Americans want to leave the country owing to the current state of affairs, a new survey by the American Psychological Association has revealed.
The survey found that nearly two-thirds of the younger generation in the US are stressed about the country’s future than they were before.
Dr Lynn Bufka, the American Psychological Association’s Head of Practice, told _Newsweek, “_Many young adults are facing a combination of financial stress, political division, and uncertainty about the future. They’ve come of age during a time marked by crises—a global pandemic, climate anxiety and economic challenges.”
What has the survey found?
The Stress in America 2025 survey, conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of the American Psychological Association, gathered responses from over 3,000 U.S. adults aged 18 and older through an online questionnaire held between August 4 and 24 of this year.
It found that 63 per cent of Americans aged between 18 to 34 wish to move out of the US and reported being sad about living in the country. Fifty-three per cent of parents also said that they would like to relocate.
This marks a sharp rise from last year’s survey, in which 41 per cent of American adults said the state of the nation made them consider leaving the country, and 39 per cent thought about moving to a different state due to its political climate.
Why are youngsters anxious?
Issues like increases in costs of health insurance and health care, rising inflation, increasing energy, housing, and grocery costs, the Trump administration’s mass deportations, layoffs and loneliness are shaping the way young Americans used to perceive their country.
The government shutdown has only intensified the strain on Americans. Many federal workers are now performing their duties without pay, while low-income families face the possibility of losing critical benefits like food assistance through SNAP and home heating support through LIHEAP.
