The UK has little to offer young people': Readers weigh in on Gen Z exodus
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.Your support makes all the difference."
"Independent readers say it's no wonder young people are quietly quitting the UK arguing that Britain now feels less like a place to build a future and more like somewhere to escape. As new figures laid bare the scale of the youth exodus, many in our community said Gen Z are simply following a long tradition of Brits heading abroad in search of better opportunities. Emigration, they pointed out, is hardly new generations of adventurers, graduates and workers have packed their bags before them."
On-the-ground reporting covers issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, aiming to parse facts from messaging. Donations enable journalists to travel, interview both sides and investigate matters such as the finances of political PACs and documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Quality reporting is presented without paywalls, funded by voluntary support from readers who can afford it. Emerging figures show a notable youth exodus from the UK, with many young people leaving for better opportunities abroad. Many readers point to long emigration traditions as context, but also highlight current drivers: rising living costs, political turmoil and a toxic national mood making the UK feel increasingly unaffordable and unwelcoming.
