40% of Young US Women Are Booking Flights Out, Sorry Boys
KEY POINTS
- ā¢A recent Gallup survey revealed that 40% of young women in the U.S. want to leave permanently.
- ā¢This desire has surged since before Trump's presidency and increased after the Dobbs decision on abortion rights.
- ā¢The survey highlights a significant gender divide, with young women expressing greater political dissatisfaction than young men.
According to a summer 2024 Gallup survey of 1,000 Americans, a staggering 40% of women aged 15 to 44 want to permanently bounce from the U.S., a figure that started climbing around Trumpās debut and skyrocketed after the Supreme Court's Dobbs abortion rerun. This isnāt a modest exit plan; itās four times higher than 2014 and leaves young menāonly 19% of whom dream of escapeāin the dust. Nearly 60% of these hopeful Ć©migrĆ©s lean Democrat compared to just 39% of men, proving partisan angst is the real passport. Fun fact: U.S. womenās wanderlust rivals Zambia and Malta, but only women stare longingly abroadāmen here prefer their own mess. Even married women are less tied down, narrowing their 'get me out of here' gap to four points from ten in 2022, signaling a nationwide breakup vibe with Americaās political and institutional dating profile.
