Almost half the 200 million young people in North Africa and the Middle East want to migrate to the West. The top reasons they gave were “economic factors and corruption in their country,” not fear for their lives. Also, the Arab Youth Survey merely shows the number of youth in these areas who want to migrate, not the adults who wish to do so, or the numbers of those who have already migrated, legally and illegally. Mass illegal Muslim migration continues into the EU — despite the coronavirus lockdown and resulting bad economy, despite the fact that most have been economic migrants jumping the queue.
When the Arab Youth Survey asked about the most important personal value as related to identity, religion was overwhelmingly the most important. 40% cited religion over family, nationality, heritage, language and gender.

The highest recorded desire to emigrate was in Lebanon, where 77 per cent of respondents said they had considered leaving the crisis-stricken state, followed by Libya, Yemen and Iraq, each of which recorded between 65 and 69 per cent of youths wanting to leave.
Meanwhile, the survey, which is in its 12th year, reveals that the global coronavirus pandemic has increased young Arabs’ desire to emigrate, with one-third of respondents saying the virus had made them more likely to want to live abroad.
The primary drivers behind young Arabs’ desire to emigrate, the survey said, were economic reasons and perceived government corruption, with educational opportunities, safety, security and new experiences also acting as important factors…..
