2014-10-08 ISRAEL under the Greater Depression: Emigration of young adults!
===============================================
In recent days, Israeli media is full of bitter discussion of emigration of young people. Particularly hurting is the popularity of Germany in general, and Berlin in particular...
The link below [1] is to a group that was opened in recent days, advocating emigration to Berlin as protest against Israeli government policies that cause young people to lose all hope. Now, the group numbers almost 10,000.
The phenomenon is not unique of course, it is typical of nations under the current Greater Depression:
* Spain saw the loss of a generation of young educated people. As detailed in the Economist report, linked below. [2]
" Nearly 30,000 made the trip in 2012. Yet these are fairly small numbers. More Greeks than Spaniards moved to Germany in 2012, even though Greece’s population is only a quarter of the size of Spain’s. Romania, with only half as many people as Spain, supplied Germany with 116,000 immigrants. Poland, which has four-fifths as many, sent 176,000 migrants across the German border."
The process is destructive to the nations from which the emigration originates, since the migration is a process of positive selection: Typically those who migrate are more motivated, more educated, more entrepreneurial, and more willing to make painful adjustments.
* The same phenomena were also typical of the Great Depression of the 20th century, and ended up with restrictions on immigration to the US, and to some preferred Latin American destinations, such as Argentina and Brazil:
"Almost four million people came to the U.S. in during the 1920s " [3]
