1 million citizens want to leave Singapore and leave within 5 years! ! !
Foreigners want to stay but can't stay, young people in Singapore want to leave? What irony?
Singapore, a beautiful and modern "garden city" , it has a clean and honest government, a harmonious and safe living environment, the first education level in Asia, beautiful and pleasant green facilities, convenient public support services... it is the place where tens of thousands of people dream of making it their home, Net Red Nas even called it a near-perfect place, an almost perfect country, living here is happiness found.
We all try our best to stay in Singapore. If we are allowed entry we will not go anywhere else , and we even worry that we will be unable to stay. However, I never expected that in 2016, the Singapore Policy Research Institute spent a lot of time conducting a survey for nearly three months. It interviewed 2013 nationals between the ages of 19 and 30.
The results turned out to be about One out of every three young Singaporeans is considering immigrating to another country in the next five years. Only one-fifth of the respondents admit that they often thought : “ Hey, don’t go to another country to settle down. ” Thoughts!
According to a few days ago released population briefing display, the current total resident population of Singapore citizens and PR is combined 3.99 million or so people, that is to say, as many as one million or so locals wanted to leave Singapore in Singapore within five years! ! !
Too many foreigners want to stay in Singapore but it is difficult to get PR and citizens, but local young people want to "escape from Singapore ". People outside want to come in. People inside want to go out, why does Singapore become such abesieged city? "What?"
Why do you want to go?
Speaking of why you want to go, young people in Singapore have a lot to say.
It can be seen that the green part is the number of migrants. In fact, it is far less than the local citizens and the number of PR. However, more than half of the young people in Singapore believe that the number of migrants in Singapore is now too much! They have greatly weakened Singapore's social cohesion!
Young people in Singapore also feel that foreign talents are only using Singapore's resources to regard Singapore as a “ stepping stone ” for their development in other developed countries !
Moreover, due to the presence of these outsiders, Singapore, a small island country, seems to be more crowded , and the morning and evening peaks are sardines on the subway!
A long, troublesome team at the hawker center during meals...
The local people are sick and can't get out of bed in the hospital...
Living in such a crowded environment, andfierce competition with foreign talents in the work , think it is terrible, it is better to slip.
Among the respondents, dissatisfied like this, there are too many foreigners in Singapore, and the proportion of Singaporeans who want to immigrate abroad is55.9% so high!
In addition, local young people who want to “escape from Singapore” also said:
“The cost of living in Singapore is too high. I don’t want to tie my children and grandchildren to a small country where an ordinary Japanese car would cost $130,000.”
"I am not optimistic about Singapore'seconomic development . In fact, there is not much national pride. I only think that Singapore has no freedom of speech. Even the assembly and protests are not allowed. It will be locked up in disorder!"
“A lot of Singaporeans have realized that they are locked up in a bird cage. I want to immigrate to a country with a larger living cost and a better living space .”
"Singaporeans are too stingy , and there is no way to get along with them, what should care about."
"The law and order is good, there is no way to represent everything..."
So, where do these people want to leave Singapore and go?
Where do Singaporeans want to go, where do they want to go?
Australia and New Zealand are at the forefront of immigrant destinations that young people yearn for.
Young people in Singapore may have wild horses in their hearts, and Singapore’s small land cannot accommodate their dreams, so they will yearn for the vast land of 7,682,300 square kilometers in Australia! Among the immigrant destinations that Singaporeans yearn for, 35.6% of those who want to immigrate to Australia are ranked first among immigrant destinations.
It is also noteworthy that in the 2010 survey, New Zealand was still a destination for uninvited immigrants, but in 2016 it was ranked second in the country that Singaporeans most want to immigrate, accounting for 11.1% of the population. New Zealand has a mild climate and a low unemployment rate. Compared with the competitive Singapore, the pace of life is slower, which may be an important reason for attracting young immigrants from Singapore...
In addition, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Switzerland, and Malaysia are also on the list of places where Singaporeans want to immigrate.
Why do they want to go but they have not left?
The high cost of immigration, so many young people want to immigrate the "dream" can only be a dream, after all, is to want immigrants to go abroad to live a good life, can not go all the way! On the other hand, many young people in Singapore, even if they are allowed to immigrate on economic conditions, can goeconomically , but they ca n't go emotionally !
Because this year's Singapore Population Briefing shows that Singapore faces a severe population crisis and an aging population. At present, Singapore's elderly population support ratio is 1:4.2 , that is, every 65-year-old or older, 4.2 people need20 to 64. The aged Singaporeans came to take care of them.
Compared with the 2010 survey, “having family members in Singapore” has become the leading reason why Chinese people are rooted in Singapore. "Parents are, not far away," and are deeply rooted in the blood of many Chinese.
Singapore's public health and safety is also an important reason to make Singaporeans can not do without. Many countries are now populist, tribal, and xenophobic, which makes many people say that they must immigrate to Singaporeans in other countries within five years, and they are afraid that they will be eager to go abroad for a "rounder moon". Life, a more free living environment, a higher social status went overseas, but in the end, it was a lifetime of a small red book that was dreamed of by many people, but it was a lifetime in an unfamiliar and incompetent country. outsider……
Think about it this way, the person who wanted to leave, and silently stayed.
I want to stay, but I can’t stay...
One million Singaporeans often want to escape from Singapore, but nearly two million people say: We want to stay in Singapore, but we can't stay...
This year the population briefing display, hold work permits, student, dependent permit non-resident population of1,644,400 people , more than 1,646,500 people in 2017 to reduce the 2100 people. The rigorous immigration and foreign labor policies have not only reduced the number of people holding work permits in Singapore , even the number of permanent residents (PR) in Singapore has decreased from 526,600 last year to 522,300. Many PR After the expiration of the 5-year Re-entry permit, the continuous signing cannot be successful and can only leave Singapore with disappointment...
Two million people who want to stay in Singapore say: Singaporeans should not be excluded!
If Singapore is to achieve about 2.5% annual economic growth, it must increase its population to 6.3 million to 6.7 million by2030 . And in a serious aging problem, reduce the fertility of Singapore society, entering negative population growth pressures , it is now almost a million people to fill the vacancies required, only the top of the native population! It’s not easy to stay in Singapore. If you want to accept the strong xenophobia of local people, it’s really “not worthwhile”.
According to statistics, the mortality rate of Singapore has increased in the past decade. The number of deaths has increased from 16,200 in 2008 to 19,800 last year. The number of deaths has risen from 15,500 in 2008 to last year. According to the trend of 19,100 people , the death toll of citizens may exceed the number of citizens born in the mid-2030s, and Singapore will officially enter a period of negative population growth !
Where will the migrant population and Singaporean locals go ? How can we achieve a balanced and harmonious situation in Singapore and jointly build Singapore into a beautiful country that is more hopeful, perhaps a question that everyone in Singapore should think about.
