This article seems to be just a summarization of https://news.gallup.com/poll/697382/record-numbers-younger-w... which has a lot more information and specific stats
We already have a fertility crisis. Women leaving the country will only make it worse.
I think America will persevere. Men will just have to take over typically women dominated careers such as child-bearing
Exactly. Real alpha men bear their own children.
> The poll did not ask why specifically people want to leave
> “Across demographic groups, Americans with lower confidence in institutions such as the government, judicial system, military and integrity of elections are consistently more likely to express a desire to leave the country,” the poll report noted.
It can’t be because the current administration treats them like cattle, could it?
> The percentage of younger women wanting to move to another country first rose decisively in 2016, the final year of President Barack Obama's second term. That year, Gallup surveyed the U.S. in June and July, after both parties’ presumptive nominees were set for the November election, which Donald Trump went on to win. Desire to migrate continued to climb afterward, hitting 44% in President Joe Biden’s last year in office and remaining near that level in 2025. This suggests a broader shift in opinion among younger women, rather than a solely partisan one.

The final year of a presidency is when the rhetoric ramps up.
Abortion rights didn't come back under Biden. I can imagine that and the general rising misogyny, are the main factors.
Biden barely had the House, nowhere near a filibuster proof Senate, or the Supreme Court. With those numbers abortion rights (forbidding the red states from outlawing abortion) wasn't possible.
Elections have consequences and (at least before Trump) presidents aren't kings.
“The poll did not ask why specifically people want to leave, but did measure confidence in some of the country’s institutions.”
We don’t know.

I wonder what the top desired destinations are. Dubai? Paris? LOL
> Behind Canada, top choices for where the American females would relocate are New Zealand, Italy and Japan.
Two of those (Italy and Japan) have more conservative gender dynamics than the US does. (Reasonable ones though. We're not talking about Saudi Arabia.)
I think a lot of the appeal isn't even about gender per-se. They're just nice places.
If my goal isn't to be a girlboss, but to have a nice life, then I see huge appeal. Japan, say, is safe, and comfortable; it's full of pleasant built environments; it's easy to afford the rent; and apart from rising in management at Sony I can do whatever I want. Sign me up?
Say you survey men: Probably a lot of them have similar ideas. Probably the same places are popular with them too.
Like, apart from a handful of Andrew Tates who are converting to Islam for the wrong reasons, do you think western men want to live in Saudi Arabia either? You think they want to rule in some loveless breeding-marriage from The Handmaid's Tale? Does that sound like a "male fantasy" (oh no, such a bad thing /s) to you? Of course not.
Turns out that both the men and the women would really just be perfectly happy to go somewhere with a nice piazza and sip espresso.
I can guarantee you, it is the monolithic land of "Europe".
I remember once being asked what it was like to grow up in "Europe".
> Dubai?
Why was this your first guess?
both better option than usa by 100 miles
Please defend your thesis.
e.g. one doesn't risk bankruptcy for a medical condition there?
Yeah, but doesn't Dubai have rampant misogyny? Weren't princesses trying to flee the country? There are far better options than Dubai.
Paris is a solid choice, though.
