Bored of Britain?

More than a third of young people choosing to travel abroad are doing so because they are bored of Britain.

While 43 per cent say they are seeking adventure and 21 per cent aspire to work overseas, 36 per cent of those surveyed said they had simply had enough of Britain.

The research, carried out by youth travel and work organisation Smaller EarthUK, also revealed that more than half (54 per cent) viewed the UK jobs market as “bad” with only 28 per cent considering it to be “good”.

The survey of 1000 young people aged 18-30 highlighted how 65 per cent had a clear idea about their future career, but felt that the opportunity to work and travel overseas would enhance their prospects of competing in the employment market.
