MAJORITY of young Filipinos do not want to leave the country to find work, according to the YouthLed 2021 National Youth Survey.
The data also showed 9 percent said they do not have any opportunities for work or career in their city or province so they are forced to work elsewhere in the Philippines. The next overall most important aspirations and life goals identified were: to live independently from parents at 36 percent; to get a college degree, 29 percent; to start your own business, 28 percent; and to have meaningful work, 28 percent. Only 3 percent of respondents aspired to migrate to another country.
“The Philippine Development Plan captures the collective aspirations of Filipinos towards a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay [stable, comfortable and peaceful life]. The 2021 national youth survey essentially confirms that these are also the aspirations of the Filipino youth,” National Economic and Development Authority Undersecretary for Policy and Planning Rosemarie Edillon said.
Three-fourths or 76 percent of the 4,900 Filipino youth surveyed said their personal quality-of-life will improve in the next five years, revealing a higher net optimism score than when the same question was asked in April 1996.
