Emigration

                                                      Emigration

Nowadays more and more Lithuanians leave their country to make a better life and build a career abroad. Emigrants find well paid jobs, feel free to make their dreams come true and they are ensured to have a stable economy. There are some reasons why they choose living in a foreign country such as unemployment, bad conditions of educational system, unstable economy.

Firstly, foreign countries offer a great variety of opportunities in educational system. University gives student an opportunity to take out a student loan. If you earn even a minimal salary you do not need to repay it after studies. Also, in foreign universities there is a wide range of professions to choose from study programs which are popular worldwide. Furthermore, students can participate in various international projects and get a good experience. After finished studies you get an international diploma which  is more valuable than you get in motherland. Students choose studies abroad because all university given opportunities to make a student life a little bit easier are very useful.  

Secondly, many Lithuanians go out because of unstable economy. The foreign country government gives a subvention for families, helps them to settle in a new place. Another problem why Lithuanians go out is big taxes. In fact, the salaries are getting lower and taxes are getting higher. Poor families are lack of money and cannot pay high taxes and then they do not have any choice just to leave their native land. Emigrants cannot see bright future because they have not any guarantees if they set up their own business. In economical stable countries emigrants feel free to do that.

Finally, unemployment is one of the problems why Lithuanians leave their motherland. Especially for  young people is hard to find a job because employers require experience from previous jobs which youth generally do not have. Also, if people find a job the salary is not very big and it  is not enough to survive on it. Abroad there are no such unemployment problems so they find a job easier there than in Lithuania.

          

To sum up, the level of emigration is rising because of these reasons that Lithuanians face. In this case, it has negative effect not only on economical or political position of the country but on emigrants as well. Lithuania loses competent and qualified specialists while Lithuanians leave their native country, family, friends.
