Trend 1: Increasing willingness to work abroad
68 percent of the global labor force is willing to work abroad. This is an increase of 7 percent points in comparison to 2006 and continuing the trend that was measured in 2009. There is an increasing willingness to work abroad. This ‘willingness’ is still growing and more obvious. Only 14 percent of the global workforce is not available for the international labor market. Still there is an enormous difference between the willingness and actual international movement. In the Netherlands there is almost a factor 100 difference.
The global trend of an increasing willingness to work aboard is still growing. Main driver is the fact that GenY is getting bigger and bigger in comparison to the Babyboom generation. Also the international labor markets are getting more global, through international jobs websites, search engines and social media. Still there are enormous differences between countries. People living in Latvia, USA and China are the less mobile. People living in Portugal, Luxemburg and Nigeria are the most willing to work abroad.
