About The Poll

Gallup’s latest update on adults’ desire to move to another country is based on a question it asks almost annually: “Ideally, if you had the opportunity, would you move permanently to another country, or would you prefer to continue living in this country?

The 2023 figures are based on interviews with nearly 146,000 adults in 142 countries and areas.
